How it works

Functional medicine, the basics

Functional medicine is personalised healthcare that aims to get to the root cause of chronic health conditions. At Positive Nutrition we use functional medicine testing and personalised nutrition plans in the treatment of chronic diseases.

We specialise in a patient centred approach, based on the latest research. Our practitioners work with patients to understand the interactions between all the body systems as a whole, with nutrition, genetics, lifestyle and environmental factors that can influence your health.

You will come away with a tailor-made plan of action knowing exactly what you need to do next on your journey to good health.

1. Consultation

Your questionnaire provides us with an understanding of your health history and dietary habits to help us pinpoint imbalances within the body. During the consultation we explore further and work with you to develop a plan of action to get to the root cause of your health concerns.

2. Tests

Our tests are carried out by accredited scientific laboratories which enables us to get to the root cause quickly and safely. Our nutritionists can interpret the findings and provide tailored recommendations based on your test results.

3. Personalised Recommendations

You receive a tailor-made plan of action, including nutritional protocol, lifestyle and supplement recommendations. A clear plan and timeframe for next steps will be outlined so you know exactly what to do and how to reach your goals.

What you get:

Supplement Protocol

We recommend supplements, if and when necessary, in order to aid in the process of restoring balance within the body. Your protocol will be personalised and specific to you, and are usually based on gaps we see in the diet or based on findings of test results.

Dietary Plans

Our dietary plans are tailor-made to suit you and your needs. We try to make them as sustainable as possible and take into consideration time constraints, busy households, fussy eaters and varying cooking skills.

Review Progress

We normally have approximately 4-6 weeks between consultations. Initial consults are for 60 minutes, follow ups vary between 30 and 60 minutes and 10 minute telephone calls to review and track progress. We will assess improvements or changes as we progress and adjust the protocol as needed. If you have questions or queries, we are always there to support you.

Focus on Personal Goals

All recommendations are devised with you in mind. We work together to find solutions that are right for you. Our aim is to empower patients to take an active role in their own health.

Testimonials

  • Dublin
    My Nutritionist was wonderful, helpful and gave workable ways to help me manage my health, weight, and immune issues. And I still use her recipes quite often (the sheets are well-loved with lots of stains and spills from the many meals I've cooked with them)! I know how important our health is and there's no price on good health. It’s well worth every penny!

    I am so glad I found Positive Nutrition. I feel like the entire team were behind me, supporting me every step of the way. I want to say thank you so much for all you have done. The tests gave me so much information, answers that I was desperately looking for. The protocol addressed the underlying causes, and the recipes and meal plans made it all much easier, and more enjoyable!

    I have been working with Sorcha for almost 6 months now and the results have been amazing. I went for a couple of issues relating to woman's health, sleep, and anxiety. I feel like a completely different person now. I would highly recommend attending the clinic, there was no stone unturned to get to the root cause and there is a very practical approach to their recommendations and protocols. I am so grateful for their help to date.
