A Different Way of Looking at Health
Functional medicine isn't about replacing your GP or NHS care—it's about complementing it with a wider lens. Where conventional medicine often focuses on managing symptoms, functional medicine asks: what underlying factors might be contributing to how you feel?
At Rebalance, we apply these principles within a community-focused setting, making this approach accessible rather than exclusive.
The Core Principles We Follow
1. Understanding the Whole Person
Every consultation starts with listening. We consider your lifestyle, stress levels, sleep patterns, nutrition, movement habits, and personal health history. This comprehensive view helps us understand you as a complete person, not just a collection of symptoms.
2. Looking for Connections
Health concerns rarely exist in isolation. Digestive discomfort might connect to energy levels. Sleep quality often influences mood and concentration. By mapping these connections, we can identify where supportive changes might have the broadest positive impact.
3. Personalised Approaches
What works brilliantly for one person may not suit another. We work with you to develop personalised protocols that fit your life, preferences, and circumstances.
How This Works in Practice
When you visit Rebalance, you might experience:
- Extended consultations that give us time to really understand your situation
- Functional testing options if appropriate, to gather objective data about areas like gut health, nutrient status, or metabolic function
- Practical recommendations that you can actually implement in your daily life
- Ongoing support through follow-up sessions to track progress and adjust approaches
The Community Difference
What makes a wellbeing hub different from a private clinic? Accessibility and community spirit.
Our workshops at just £5 in-person (or £1 online) mean that health education isn't reserved for those with deep pockets. We believe everyone deserves access to information that can help them make informed choices about their wellbeing.
Getting Started
Curious about whether a functional approach might help you? Our initial consultations are designed to be thorough without being overwhelming. We'll discuss your health goals, explain our approach, and help you decide if it's right for you.
Remember: we work alongside your existing healthcare providers, not instead of them. Always consult your GP for medical concerns.
