Transforming health with precision healthcare
Healthcare that is as
unique as you
Functional medicine programs are designed to address the root causes of health concerns and to understand what’s driving chronic symptoms or persistent health issues, a more in-depth analysis is often necessary. This is where specialised services like micro-immunotherapy and nutrigenomics come in.
​
Micro-immunotherapy focuses on restoring immune balance at a cellular level by using immune modulators in micro-doses, reducing symptoms that stem from an overactive or underactive immune system. For those with unexplained symptoms, nutrigenomic insights can reveal predispositions to certain health issues or nutrient deficiencies that standard tests might miss.
​
Micro-immunotherapy and nutrigenomics add a powerful layer of precision to a functional medicine program, enabling a truly personalised plan that addresses underlying imbalances, rather than just managing symptoms.

Micro-immunotherapy
A revolutionary approach to immune support
What is Micro-Immunotherapy?​
Micro-immunotherapy is a groundbreaking approach designed to support and balance the immune system - one of the fundamental pillars of health. The main function of the immune system is not only to defend against pathogens but also to promote tolerance to the body's own tissues. However, the balance between defence and tolerance can become disrupted leading to over or under-activation of the immune system.
​
How Micro-Immunotherapy Works
Unlike traditional immunotherapy, which uses high dose pharmaceuticals to stimulate or suppress the immune system, micro-immunotherapy uses precise, low-dose formulations of the communication molecules that coordinate immune cell response in a gentle, harmonising way, mimicking the immune systems natural physiological response and enhancing its ability to self-regulate allowing it to better recognise and respond to threats like pathogens or abnormal cells. This makes it easy to integrate into any personalised plan and is safe to use even for children.
Key Benefits of Micro-Immunotherapy
-
Supports Immune System Balance
By targeting specific immune signaling pathways, it can modulate responses that are either hyperactive (as in allergies and autoimmune diseases) or weakened (such as in chronic infections or cancer). -
Minimizes Side Effects
Unlike high-dose immunotherapy treatments, micro-immunotherapy is based on low doses, making it well tolerated and minimizing the risk of side effects. This makes it especially beneficial for patients who may not tolerate stronger medications, such as those with compromised immune systems, elderly patients, or individuals with multiple sensitivities. -
Addresses Chronic Conditions
Chronic illnesses often involve prolonged immune dysregulation, where traditional treatments may fall short. Micro-immunotherapy can provide long-term immune support, helping patients with chronic inflammatory diseases, infections, or autoimmune conditions maintain a more balanced immune state. -
Integrative and Complementary
Micro-immunotherapy can complement other medical treatments, such as conventional therapies, naturopathic treatments, and nutritional support. Its gentle, non-invasive nature allows it to work alongside other approaches without causing interference, creating a holistic strategy for immune health. -
Promotes Immune Resilience
Micro-immunotherapy doesn’t just treat symptoms but strengthens the immune system's resilience, and regulatory function which may help reduce the frequency of future illnesses. Through careful modulation, it encourages the immune system to return to a balanced state and maintain it over time, even in the face of environmental stressors or pathogens.
​
Applications of Micro-Immunotherapy
Micro-immunotherapy applications include:
-
Autoimmune diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis)
-
Chronic infections (like viral infections, including EBV and HPV)
-
Long term fatigue conditions such as long Covid, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
-
Allergies and asthma
-
Chronic inflammatory diseases (such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and eczema)
Each formulation is crafted to address specific immune imbalances, making it a flexible and adaptable option in the management of various health conditions.
Is Micro-Immunotherapy Right for You?
If you’re experiencing energy or immune-related health challenges, micro-immunotherapy may offer a supportive solution, particularly if you are seeking a more balanced, gentle approach to immune health.

Nutrigenomics
Unlock your potential
What is Nutrigenomics?
​Nutrigenomics is the science of understanding how food and nutrients affect gene expression and how individual genetic makeup influences the body's response to specific nutrients. By analyzing a person’s genetic profile, nutrigenomics provides insight into unique nutritional needs, metabolic tendencies, and potential health risks, creating a pathway to highly personalized nutrition.
As part of a functional medicine approach, nutrigenomics supports a more holistic view of health, focusing on the root causes of disease rather than just symptoms.
How Nutrigenomics Works
Nutrigenomics uses DNA testing to identify genetic variations, also known as polymorphisms, that affect nutrient absorption, metabolism, and overall health. These insights are used to create personalized dietary recommendations, addressing the specific ways each individual’s body interacts with certain nutrients. By fine-tuning nutrition based on genetics, nutrigenomics can play a pivotal role in preventive health, weight management, chronic disease support, and overall well-being.
​
Applications of Nutrigenomics in Functional Medicine
Functional medicine practitioners use nutrigenomics to take a root-cause approach to health and wellness, focusing on the whole person rather than isolated symptoms. Common applications include:
-
Understanding hormone imbalances
-
Identifying vulnerabilities in biological pathways linked to chronic illness
-
Optimising histamine tolerance
-
Supporting detoxification pathways
-
Weight management through personalized dietary adjustments
-
Managing chronic conditions by reducing inflammation and supporting immune function
-
Enhancing mental health with nutrients that support brain function and emotional balance
-
Maximising healthy ageing
