What is Functional Medicine?

Have you been hearing about Functional Medicine and you are not sure what the commentary is all about? Here at Brisbane Livewell Clinic, we provide the latest services in Functional Medicine with the most current biochemical tests, which can measure the levels of chemicals in your body to determine exactly which nutrients and foods will restore you to your optimum health.

Our Functional Medicine tests include some of the most advanced Food Allergy Testing and Food Intolerance Testing available.

So what is Functional Medicine?

Functional Medicine is a personalized approach using Health Screening tools to help recognise how different signs and symptoms may relate to your current state of health. Through these tests, it is possible for our health practitioners to learn a great deal about the state of your overall health and well-being.

Our in-house screening tools include a small finger prick, where one or two drops of blood are taken and examined. The test picks up markers such as inflammation, oxidative stress or mineral deficiencies to name a few. Everything from mineral imbalances and pH levels to potential toxicity and parasites are taken into consideration.

Are you at risk?

Research estimates that 70-90% of the risk of Chronic Diseases can be attributed to Lifestyle. “Overweight and obesity are major risk factors for a number of chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancer.” – The World Health Organization This means that what you eat, how you exercise and how much stress you have in your life, may increase your risk of Chronic Disease.

I have been to many massage therapists over the years as I suffer with MS and get lots of stiffness and nerve pain. Fiona is by far the best I’ve ever been to

Lizal T.

They really know what they are doing. Jasmine is just the best 🙂

Chris P.

After a few years struggling with thyroid disease I finally started to few better. Unfortunately the conventional medicine is very limited and don't see your body as a whole but in separate parts not connected. Craig has helped me to find what my body needed to optimize my health, something you won't find with your GP. It might sound costly but living a live of limitations can be way more costlier.

Have had several consultations with the wonderful naturopath Craig . He has helped me immensely with my mental health and hormonal issues as a middle aged male . Craig is easy to talk to and emits a very positive vibe that is refreshing .So glad I did a bit of research and reviews which located Brisbane Livewell clinic

Paul M.

Months after recovering from Glandular Fever, I still felt like I had no energy, was constantly tired, had stomach issues and continually struggled to get out of bed. Dr did not find anything in my blood work after many visits, but I knew I was not well. Eventually I tracked down this clinic and had consultations with Craig Baron. Craig was absolutely amazing and really seeks a holistic approach. He builds a profile of your health issues and spends time getting to understand your mental wellbeing. Craig recommended some remedies and a change in my diet. Since visiting him, I have felt so much better, I have been able to get back to the gym and I finally have energy to do things. Thank you Craig for helping me feel like myself again!

Noeleen W.

The staff are friendly and welcoming. I have been seeing Fiona on a regular basis and I know when I go I don’t have to say anything to her about any pain or stiffness as she finds my problem spots even the ones I didn’t know I had. Fiona always provides information on how to help get things back in track. I recommend Fiona to anyone who needs a massage to assist with any tightness, pain or injury.

Maree B.

I know I’ll always be grateful that I found Brisbane Livewell Clinic. Craig leaves no stone unturned when it comes to looking at health issues and I’m feeling so much better than I did when I started going. I have more energy, my problematic skin issues have cleared up and my mood is better. I still have work to do but it is great to know that I have a practitioner I can count on who will spend time talking things through, and consider all possibilities. We are all unique and our health issues can be complex, so it’s important to have someone you can trust to help you work things out and get to the causes. My whole family Now attends the clinic. I would highly recommend them if you are serious about feeling your best self.

I booked into the Livewell Clinic in desperation after spending seven months and thousands of dollars seeing GPs and Specialists who couldn't help me. I started having these weird episodes where I would get terrible nausea and dejavu and felt like I was about to have a fit.Heart and brain scans were clear so I was referred to a neurologist. After heaps more tests they told me my symptoms were similar to Epileptic Aura but they couldn't treat me because the scans were clear. They told me to try and de-stress and they would continue to monitor me.When the episodes got worse, a friend recommended I try a naturopath and so I googled and found Craig.He has been amazing at treating my "excitable nervous system". I like how he explains the science behind things and is very knowledgeable. I have been seeing him for less than a month but my episodes have reduced and I feel much better. It's only early days but I have noticed my heart is not racing as much, I'm calmer and have more energy. I have never tried alternate medicine before, or posted a review of a service, but decided to post this because it might help someone else going through a similar thing.

Rosemary O.

Trudy is wonderful! She shows genuine care and interest in my goals - and is realistic and practical. I feel really comfortable with her which means I can be totally open (about going off the rails with my nutrition!). She also has a great sense of humor and is incredibly knowledgeable. All of the team I’ve had encountered are also lovely. I initially came to the clinic because of the online booking function but Trudy is what keeps me coming back!

Katie H.

Great friendly service

Candace

Kat was wonderful. She is very knowledgeable & made me feel very comfortable with a not so comfortable issue. I would highly recommend Brisbane Livewell clinic :)

Suzie B.

I feel that the attention to details surrounding my food issues is being carefully considered before pointing fingers at any particular food. The new larger range food intolerance test I did, the last one was 8 years ago, opened my eyes to how far the research and accuracy of these tests has come along. Looking forward to eating without guessing!

Michael B.

Dayang Teresa S.

Heather H.

So incredibly pleased with the great advice and assistance I received from Dr Tanya. The results are fantastic, and I’m feeling sooo goood!!! One of the best decisions I made in my life. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone wanting to improve their wellbeing. Five stars from me.

Clarissa J.

Judy D.

I can recommend Craig Baron as a naturopath who takes time to understand your needs and lifestyle and gives easy to folllow, realistic plans.

Joanne W.

I could not love this place anymore than I do! It’s physically not possible!!! I love the energy right from when I walk in the door. The staff are SO helpful, understanding and non judgemental no matter what you’re session is for. I still get super excited for my appointment. Thanks for all your hard work!

Tayla W.

After being dismissed by an Endocrinologist with my rT3 results and telling me it’s a “naturopath thing” - well, it made perfect sense to me to see a naturopath AND I’m glad I did. My partner even commented when I got home because he could see how totally deflated I was when I got home from the appt with the so called specialist over a week ago. He said to me yesterday - well that must of gone well because you have a smile on your face......I’m looking forward to feeling better once my levels get back to normal. Thank you Katarina !

Kym L.

Victoria E.

Ian C.

My first appointment was very thorough and informative. I look forward to working with Kat and seeing how we can improve my health.
