Functional Medicine

Functional medicine addresses chronic health issues by identifying root causes through comprehensive diagnostic testing. Our approach combines scientific analysis with naturopathic principles to create personalised treatment plans. This patient-centred methodology focuses on restoring systemic balance rather than managing symptoms, particularly effective for complex conditions like autoimmune disorders and hormonal imbalances.

Adrenal Fatigue Treatment

Our adrenal fatigue program addresses chronic stress-related exhaustion through targeted nutritional support and lifestyle modifications. Diagnostic testing identifies hormonal imbalances while personalised treatment plans incorporate dietary adjustments, adaptogenic herbs, and stress management techniques. This holistic approach restores adrenal function and improves energy levels naturally without pharmaceutical interventions.

IBS Treatment

Specialised IBS treatment combines gut microbiome analysis with elimination diets to identify triggers. Our evidence-based approach includes FODMAP testing, SIBO breath tests, and targeted probiotic therapy. Personalised treatment plans address underlying causes like food sensitivities and bacterial imbalances to provide lasting relief from digestive discomfort.

Gut Microbiome Testing

Advanced gut microbiome testing uses DNA analysis to assess intestinal flora composition. This diagnostic tool identifies bacterial imbalances, pathogenic organisms, and digestive inefficiencies. Results guide targeted interventions including probiotic therapy, prebiotic supplementation, and dietary modifications to optimise gut health and overall wellbeing.

FODMAP

Our FODMAP program helps identify carbohydrate malabsorption issues through structured elimination diets and breath testing. Certified practitioners guide patients through diagnostic phases to pinpoint trigger foods. Personalised dietary plans maintain nutritional balance while managing symptoms of IBS and digestive discomfort effectively.

I started seeing Luke Clarke a few months ago and it completely changed my life. I went to Luke with a very complicated case. I had a lot going on. I was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension, very bad digestive system and a lot of allergies. I cant thank Luke enough for his help, support and patience. He actually listened to me and tried hard to figure out what the cause was for my complicated case. It was like a puzzle and he gave me so much care, time and effort to help me, starting from listening to me and doing his best to see my health improve.
Luke has very good communication, is caring

5 years ago I was diagnosed with an auto immune disease and was put on strong medication. It was my choice to go drug free and look at managing my condition through diet, supplements and exercise. Luke's expertise in gut health and ongoing guidance has given me the strength to manage my health and my disease continues to be in remission. I would not hesitate recommending Luke his advice and health coaching keeping me on track has been amazing.

An amazing doctor, if you've seen countless general practitioners telling you you're fine cuz you're blood tests came out normal, but you feel that something is wrong, then give Luke a visit, you won't regret it.

With my own research on adrenal fatigue, feeling run down, no energy and really poor sleep for the past 2 years. I found Luke Clarke who has helped me so much in getting better sleep, gaining more energy and just feeling better in general. Luke really knows his stuff, so if you have chronic and adrenal fatigue, you really should see him. Chris

I have been seeing Luke Clarke for more than 10 years now and l HIGHLY recommend him if you have any health concerns or you would like to check on your health. My 4 adult children have all seen Luke over the years also. Luke has helped me through menopause and hormone issues and l am currently seeing him due to weight issues and now after following Luke's diet, exercise and supplementation program; l am 11 kilos lighter after 8 weeks and not hungry! Luke has achieved incredible results with my now 18 year old son that has been seeing Luke since he was very young due to his severe food allergies

Luke is fantastic! After seeing him for a few sessions he was able to help me with the problems I was experiencing at the time and I havent had to go back since! Ive been to quite a few doctors over the years and a few appointments with Luke have changed everything. Im so happy that I went and saw Luke, he is very good at what he does!
