Our bodies are complex and miraculous machines and when they produce symptoms that are chronic there is never usually one underlying cause (this is why so often medication does not work as it only targets one issue). My approach is to look at the body as a whole because every part of it is connected, for example, if we have pain in the head it can be coming from the liver that is over toxic, if we have an allergy it can be coming from the gut because 80% of the immune system is based in the gut.
My job is to work out what the body is trying to communicate through the symptoms that it is producing – which underlying mechanisms are out of balance and then through diet, supplements and often lifestyle changes we work to get all the systems back into balance again.
