What functional medicine actually involves, and how people use it.
Functional medicine looks at the whole person and explores how diet, lifestyle, sleep, stress and other factors connect, aiming to support the root of how you are feeling rather than each issue in isolation.
The first consultation is usually long, often 60 to 90 minutes, exploring your health story in detail. The practitioner may suggest food and lifestyle changes, and sometimes functional tests, then reviews progress over follow-ups.
Fees vary by practitioner and programme length, and tests are usually extra. Many practitioners on Welvow list their pricing on their profile.
Functional medicine is not a single protected title, so check the underlying qualification (such as nutritional therapy or medicine) and any IFM training. Every practitioner on Welvow is independently reviewed.
