Functional Medicine
with Mirthe Eckl
Optimise your Health with a Science and Lab Based 360 Approach.
Taking more responsibility for your own health has never been more important, although the ways we can learn more about our body’s needs has multiplied, with direct to consumer blood testing and all sorts of health advice on the internet. You know you should be eating your greens, getting more sleep, reduce stress and exercise, supplement with vitamin D during winter.
But how do you know you are doing it right?
We have partnered up with Mirthe Precision Health Ltd to take the guesswork out of healthy living for you with a lab testing and science based analysis and protocol, bespoke to you.
Functional Medicine is a personalised, lab and science-based approach that seeks to find and address the underlying causes of disease and decline, and to promote optimal health long-term.
It relies on a detailed understanding of each person’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and leverages that data to create strategic personalised treatment or prevention plans. By evaluating a matrix of fundamental causes, we aim to find the roots of pathophysiology, leading to earlier and more effective interventions that not only extend lives but also support optimal wellbeing in those additional years.
The result is an ever-evolving, cutting-edge, systems-biology approach to health that treats each person as a whole. No longer is one seen purely through the lens of a dysfunctional organ system, a disease, or a syndrome, and only addressed once an illness has already established itself, but instead as a person who can be helped on the path to optimal wellness.
You received your lab results back and your doctor says they are fine?
That is great news, however, we take it one step further.
Did you know that most of the lab reference ranges used are based on an average of the population? Not an average of optimally healthy, thriving individuals, but of your average Joe, who may already be pre-diabetic, have high blood pressure, and on their way to a chronic problem in a few years time.
Precision Health Optimisation will look at your conventional blood tests and place them into narrower reference ranges, distinguishing between optimal and suboptimal, look at them through the Functional Medicine 360 degree lens, and give targeted dietary, lifestyle and supplement strategies bespoke to you.
Note: All consultations can be done in person at our Notting Hill Centre, or worldwide online via Zoom.
I just wanted to say how amazing I feel… like a new woman… 10 years younger! I have lost probably about a stone in weight and love eating all the good stuff, plus full of energy! - Nicky

Have any questions?
EmailI had been struggling with IBS for so many years, and tried many diets and approaches, but nothing helped. Every night I was in so much pain, and it really impacted my social life. Within only days of changing to Mirthe’s suggestions, it almost miraculously cleared up, and has been gone pretty much since. - Nicole
