Why choose Melbourne Functional Medicine

Melbourne Functional Medicine was founded and run by clinical healthcare professionals. For us, longevity is not a fleeting project, it’s our life’s work. We’re committed to our patients’ long term health outcomes day in, day out, just like we have for the last decade.

We promote the science of health to enjoy the art of living. For us, health is not an unhealthy obsession, it’s a sustainable way of making the most of our one precious life with energy and vitality.

Health creation requires deep knowledge of human physiology and biochemistry in a way that differs from the allopathic medicine model. We’ll support you with bio optimisation protocols that are data informed, and we’ll help you measure and quantify their impact.
