What’s in a name?
Nu-Me stands for “Nutritional Medicine”. As in, medicine that is natural, nutritious and nurturing.
Nu-Me also stands for “New Medicine”. Everyone deserves a better standard of healthcare, one that aims to do more good than harm, is catered to the individual, relies on an empathetic and collaborative relationship with each client and is up-to-date with the latest in science-based research. And…
Nu-Me stands for “New Me”. The differences that we need to make in order to recover, heal, improve and optimise wellbeing require you to become a new version of yourself. Simply put: If you want to make a change, then you need to change.
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine (FM) offers unrivalled personalised nutritional and healthcare interventions. Both the philosophy and practice of FM is founded on the relationship between practitioner and client as well as collaborating with other science-based practices. As opposed to most healthcare providers, we will spend a lot of time getting to know you personally and reflecting on your life story. We will explore your past and present health concerns with the intention of investigating the environmental insults that have lead to your body expressing dysfunction as a disease and disorder. Together we will uncover the most likely cause of your concerns and collaborate on the most effective course of action.
Importantly, the FM philosophy does not focus on diagnosis or symptoms. Instead, we explore the root causes of why your body is manifesting a disorder as a physical dysfunction. By focusing upstream of the symptoms we can work to uncover, overcome and/or remove any lifestyle and environmental insults that may have initiated a downward spiral to where you are today, as well as those that may have perpetuated or sustained the problem. By investigating your signs, symptoms, lab results and the clues you provide, we will piece together the elements of your individual matrix that are causing you to express a less than optimal version of yourself, and then guide you back to a state of expressing health.
