“Food is not just calories, it is information. It talks to your DNA and tells it what to do. Your most important tool to change your health environment and entire world, is your fork.” ~ Dr. Mark Hyman |
Hi, I am Giedre
I am registered Naturopath-Nutritionist, Functional Medicine practitioner, and YOUR PARTNER IN HEALTH. With my unique training in Chinese medicine, Nutrition, Nutrigenomics and Functional Medicine, I support people with a broad number of health complaints.
From my 14 years of clinical experience, I am convinced that environmental toxins, physical and emotional stressors, imbalanced gut bacteria and endotoximia caused by condition called "leaky guts" are the main root mechanism in the development of autoimmunity, fertility problems, weight gain, joint pain, allergies, respiratory conditions, ADHD, anxiety, and many other inflammatory and metabolic health conditions. I truly believe that by addressing gut health and removing toxins from the body and daily environment, many health conditions might improve, get into remission or eventually get resolved by itself.
- GUT HEALTH: Small Intestine Bacteria overgrow (SIBO), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), GERD (reflux), Microbial Imbalances, Dysbiosis and Intestinal Permeability, H. Pylori, etc.
- DETOXIFICATION: MOULD, HEAVY METALS, CIRS etc.
- WOMEN HEALTH: Fertility & pregnancy support, Perimenopause & Menopause support, PCOS, Endometriosis etc.
- METABOLIC AND LIFESTYLE MEDIATED CONDITIONS: Unexplained Weight Gain, Lipoedema & Lympoedema support

After comprehensive investigation of your medical history, diet, present signs and symptoms, analysis of gut microbiome, individual genetic make-up (nutrigenomics panels) and blood chemistries, I provide treatment plans including personalised diet and lifestyle, and support you until your health goals are achieved. |

Consultations are available at my virtual clinic online,and in-person at the clinic, in central London.
No matter where you live, my support is available to you.

WHY FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE APPROACH?
Functional medicine seeks to address the root causes of health problems rather than seeking to offer a ‘quick fix’, as can often be the case when using conventional medicine alone.
Your body is made up of cells which form tissue and organs and are then formed into systems, such as cardiovascular, digestive, immune etc. The body is totally dynamic and inter-connected; we can't departmentalise it. All our systems operate via complex biochemical pathways. If these become functionally slow or halted, there is an effect at a cellular level and if left unchecked, whole systems move away from their natural, optimal balance - homeostasis - resulting in a domino effect of system dysfunction. Disease can be, and often is a long way off or may not ever materialise, but the balance of homeostasis may have been tipped enough to result in a sub-optimal dysfunction, unexplained symptoms or "just not feeling well".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When assessing your health I seek to identify interactions between different systems in the body through comprehensive case history taking, your presenting signs and symptoms, environmental and stress related factors, diagnostics that include blood chemistries, genotype and gut microbiome analysis, hormone testing, or others if needed. Identifying and addressing the triggers, mediators and underlying causes of your health problems from Your Timeline rather than simply focusing on symptoms, becomes the foundation of your treatment plan, which is the map of your journey towards your optimum health.

FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE recognises that illness does not occur in isolation. The factors that can contribute to illness, and what I always investigate during the consultation are:
|
CAUSES OF ILLNESS (5 Environmental Causes)
|
CLINICAL IMBALANCES (7 Physiological Systems)
|
TESTIMONIALS
