A 90-minute initial consultation followed by follow-up consultations (60 minutes) as agreed.
We fill in as much detail as we can on your FM Matrix to really complete a deep dive into your bodily systems and which ones may be imbalanced and need the most support. We also complete an extensive analysis of Modifiable Lifestyle Factors – nutrition, exercise & movement, sleep & relaxation, stress, relationships & networks.
We may also recommend some functional testing and supportive supplementation.
You will get an outline of your roadmap to wellness, clarity on your goals, the steps necessary to achieve them, and potential obstacles you may encounter on your journey
PLUS a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan, a recommended supplementation plan and testing recommendations to investigate further underlying root causes of your symptoms.
PLUS with the timeline and matrix we take into account everything that may be affecting your past, current and future health including genetics, lifestyle, nutrition, microbiome health, immune health, structure, energy, toxicity, hormone and neurotransmitter balance, hidden infections, environment, thought processes, trauma, relationships, connection, and community. You gain clarity on your symptoms and where they may have stemmed from. You gain an understanding of the multifactorial nature of all illness and disease and where to start when coping with a complex illness.
What health concerns may benefit from Functional Medicine?
Edelle O’Doherty established Knowledge4Health to provide a service to those who were finding no answers in the mainstream medical system and were seeking additional support. Having lost her mother and husband to cancer and having a brother with a traumatic brain injury, her drive is to turn the current medical model on its axis and through Functional Medicine prevent the onset of chronic disease and mental health symptoms, with a whole person, holistic approach.
Edelle is trained in Functional Medicine with the Institute for Functional Medicine, is a Registered Nutritional Therapist, andholds a postgraduate diploma in Statistics and a degree in Chemistry from Trinity College, Dublin
Her special areas of interest are epigenetics, microbiome health, metabolic health, and toxicity and how they influence the development of chronic illness, but especially how they influence the brain and brain health.
She has trained with Prof. Dale Bredesen in the Bredesen Protocol for the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease and has completed ‘Mastering Brain Chemistry’ training with Dr. William Walsh at the Walsh Research Institute.
Edelle has also completed training with Dr. Gabor Maté in Compassionate Inquiry, a psychotherapeutic approach which enables the client to recognise the unconscious dynamics that run their lives and how to liberate themselves from them
