Functional Medicine Program
Our Health Unlimited Program uses Functional Medicine to address chronic conditions by identifying root causes through lab testing and personalised plans. We combine nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle changes to treat autoimmune disorders, hormonal imbalances, and gut health issues. Clients receive ongoing support to implement sustainable changes for long-term wellness.
Gut Health Assessment
Specialised gut health programs target IBS, bloating, SIBO, and food sensitivities using advanced diagnostics and tailored interventions. We address microbial imbalances, leaky gut, and dietary triggers to restore digestive function and overall health through evidence-based nutrition strategies.
Hormonal Balance Support
Comprehensive hormonal health programs address thyroid dysfunction, estrogen imbalances, and adrenal fatigue using functional testing and targeted nutrition. We focus on optimising metabolic and reproductive health through lifestyle modifications and bio-individualised treatment plans.
Lab Testing Services
Advanced lab testing identifies gut microbiome imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and metabolic markers to guide precision treatment. We interpret complex results to create actionable plans addressing root causes of chronic health concerns through functional pathology partnerships.
Chronic Illness Recovery
Specialised programs for chronic fatigue, autoimmunity, and cardio-metabolic conditions combine root-cause analysis with lifestyle medicine. We offer ongoing support to manage complex health histories through gradual, sustainable interventions that improve energy levels and daily functionality.

Questions
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine identifies root causes of chronic conditions through lab testing and personalised nutrition plans, focusing on genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors for long-term health improvements.
How do you address gut health issues?
We use advanced diagnostics like stool analysis and SIBO testing to create tailored protocols addressing microbial imbalances, food sensitivities, and digestive dysfunction through diet and supplements.
What chronic conditions do you treat?
Our programs target autoimmune disorders, hormonal imbalances, chronic fatigue, cardio-metabolic issues, and gut-related conditions like IBS through root-cause analysis and lifestyle medicine.
Do you offer remote consultations?
Yes, we provide telehealth services across Australia and New Zealand with flexible scheduling for initial assessments and ongoing program support via secure online platforms.
Are lab tests included in the program?
Functional lab testing is recommended when clinically appropriate but billed separately. We use advanced diagnostics from NutriPath and Precision Analytical to guide treatment decisions.
Can I claim this on health insurance?
Most Australian private health funds don't cover Functional Medicine services. We provide naturopathy codes (107/207) for potential partial reimbursement through select extras policies.

Report
I would highly recommend Stephen to anyone looking for improved health. I have suffered from chronic conditions for the last 10 years and found more help and improved health within months, than I did with the traditional health care system! I also felt listened to and not judged. Stephen was happy to work at a pace that was comfortable for me.
