Functional Medicine

Patient-Centered Functional Medicine Approach
for Women’s Health

At Galleria Women’s Health, our Functional Medicine approach is dedicated to uncovering the root causes of women’s health concerns by exploring how hormones, digestion, stress, lifestyle, and environmental factors are connected. We prioritize personalized care, taking the time to understand each woman's unique health history and using advanced testing when needed to identify underlying imbalances. Our team works closely with patients to develop customized, practical treatment plans that not only alleviate symptoms but also promote overall well-being. We focus on empowering women to take an active role in their health journey through education and support, helping them make sustainable lifestyle changes. Our goal is to restore balance, improve energy levels, enhance mood, and foster long-term vitality by addressing the whole person rather than just isolated symptoms. With a compassionate and holistic approach, we aim to create a comfortable environment where women feel heard, respected, and confident in their path to optimal health.

Experiencing These Symptoms? Don’t
Delay Treatment Any Longer

Many women we work with experience a range of persistent symptoms like fatigue, hormonal changes, and gut issues, yet standard tests often don’t provide answers. Functional Medicine offers a deeper, personalized approach to uncover underlying causes and restore balance.

  • Persistent fatigue, even after full rest
  • Cycles that are irregular, painful, or increasingly unpredictable
  • Digestive symptoms such as bloating, gas, or post-meal discomfort
  • Changes in weight that don’t match diet or activity levels
  • Brain fog, forgetfulness, or slowed concentration
  • Emotional shifts like anxiety, irritability, or low mood without a clear cause
  • Sleep that feels light, disrupted, or unrefreshing
  • Thinning hair, skin breakouts, or brittle nails
  • Physical and emotional changes during the 40s or 50s
  • Autoimmune symptoms like joint pain, inflammation, or flares
  • Lab results that are “normal,” yet symptoms persist
  • Ongoing stress with signs of burnout or hormonal fatigue

Our Step-By-Step Approach

Our Functional Medicine consultations are designed to go beyond routine testing or short appointments. This process gives us the space to understand your health in a more complete and connected way, so we can create a plan that’s realistic, sustainable, and aligned with your goals.

Comprehensive Initial Consultation

We begin with a detailed conversation about your symptoms, history, lifestyle, and concerns. This includes discussing your daily routine, energy levels, sleep patterns, digestion, hormone balance, and emotional well-being. This helps us understand how your systems are working together and where you might need support.

  • Advanced hormone testing
  • Thyroid and adrenal function
  • Gut microbiome and digestive markers
  • Nutritional deficiencies
  • Inflammatory or autoimmune patterns

We only recommend tests that are relevant and helpful for your case , nothing unnecessary.

Targeted Testing (if needed)

When standard assessments aren’t enough, advanced tests can provide a detailed understanding of your hormonal, digestive, and nutritional health, guiding personalized treatment.

  • Hormonal & Adrenal Mapping
  • Gut & Digestive Analysis
  • Nutritional & Metabolic Assessment
  • Customized Testing Approach

Our goal is to provide precise insights to tailor effective treatment plans for your optimal health and vitality.

Personalised Care Planning

Once we’ve reviewed your results and gathered enough insight, we create a care plan that fits your needs. This may include:

  • Nutritional and lifestyle changes
  • Supplementation based on deficiencies
  • Stress support and sleep guidance
  • Hormonal or gut-focused strategies

Each recommendation is explained in context, so you understand why it matters and how it supports your progress.

Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustments

If additional insight is required, we recommend testing that looks deeper than standard panels. This may include:

  • Advanced hormone testing
  • Thyroid and adrenal function
  • Gut microbiome and digestive markers
  • Nutritional deficiencies
  • Inflammatory or autoimmune patterns

We only recommend tests that are relevant and helpful for your case , nothing unnecessary.

Our Personalized Therapeutic Approach

At the core of our care is a holistic, individualized treatment plan that targets the root causes of your health concerns. We select therapies based on careful assessment of your symptoms, lab results, and lifestyle, ensuring a tailored approach that evolves with your needs.

  • For Fatigue, Brain Fog, and Slowed Focus
  • For Trouble Sleeping or Waking Unrested
  • For Chronic Inflammation or Joint Stiffness
  • For Bloating, Gas, or Digestive Upset
  • For Hormonal Imbalance and PMS
  • For Hair Shedding, Skin Breakouts, or Brittle Nails
  • For Unexplained Weight Changes
  • For Perimenopause and Menopause Transition

For Fatigue, Brain Fog, and Slowed Focus

When energy is low or your thinking feels “off,” we often look at adrenal rhythm, nutrient levels, and stress response. Based on what we find, support may include:

  • Magnesium threonate – helps support brain function and mental clarity
  • Active B-complex (with B12 and folate) – supports energy metabolism, especially in women with MTHFR variants or menstrual irregularity
  • Rhodiola and ashwagandha – adaptogens that support clarity under stress without overstimulation

For Trouble Sleeping or Waking Unrested

When sleep becomes light, broken, or hard to come by, especially during perimenopause, we support the nervous system gently using:

  • Magnesium glycinate – for calming muscle tension and supporting deeper rest
  • L-theanine and glycine – to quiet a racing mind and reduce midnight wake-ups
  • Low-dose melatonin – used selectively to support circadian rhythm in disrupted cycles

For Chronic Inflammation or Joint Stiffness

If you’re experiencing bloating, puffy skin, joint pain, or flares in autoimmune conditions, we may start with anti-inflammatory food plans and use:

  • Curcumin (from turmeric) – to reduce cytokine activity and joint tenderness
  • Omega-3s (EPA/DHA) – for systemic inflammation and hormonal regulation
  • Vitamin D3 with K2 –v to modulate immune activity and support long-term bone health

Food-first strategies are the foundation here, often guided by symptom tracking and lab testing.

For Bloating, Gas, or Digestive Upset

Digestive symptoms are often tied to poor absorption, stress, or gut imbalance. Based on stool testing or symptom history, support may include:

  • Digestive enzymes – to help break down proteins and fats for women with sluggish digestion
  • Probiotic blends (e.g., Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, Saccharomyces boulardii) for women with IBS-like symptoms, antibiotic use, or frequent infections
  • L-glutamine and zinc carnosine – to restore gut lining in cases of leaky gut or long-standing inflammation
  • Herbal antimicrobials (berberine, oregano oil, neem) – if SIBO or dysbiosis is suspected or confirmed

For Hormonal Imbalance and PMS

When cycles become irregular, painful, or emotionally unpredictable, we assess estrogen metabolism, progesterone levels, and adrenal health. We may use:

  • DIM (Diindolylmethane) – to support estrogen clearance and reduce symptoms like breast tenderness or heavy periods
  • Chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus) – to gently regulate cycles and ease PMS-related mood shifts
  • Calcium-D-glucarate – for detox support in women with signs of estrogen dominance
  • Seed cycling – a food-based approach using flax, pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame seeds to gently balance phases of the menstrual cycle

Every cycle-related plan is adapted to your stage of life, whether you’re navigating PMS, PCOS, or perimenopause.

For Hair Shedding, Skin Breakouts, or Brittle Nails

These visible changes often signal deeper nutrient depletion or thyroid shifts. Based on testing, we may support with:

  • Zinc picolinate – to reduce hair shedding and improve skin resilience
  • Iron bisglycinate – in women with low ferritin or heavy cycles
  • Biotin and silica – to support nail strength and repair damaged hair follicles
  • Adaptogens – to reduce cortisol-related hair fall in chronic stress

We also assess liver detox and gut function in skin-related concerns.

For Unexplained Weight Changes

When weight loss has stalled despite healthy efforts, we look beyond calories and focus on:

  • Inositol – to improve insulin sensitivity in women with PCOS or blood sugar instability
  • Berberine – a plant compound that improves glucose metabolism and reduces inflammation
  • CoQ10 and carnitine – to support mitochondrial function and fat metabolism, especially in women over 40

This is paired with blood sugar-focused meal planning and movement strategies, never with crash diets.

For Perimenopause and Menopause Transition

When symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, or night sweats begin to impact quality of life, we explore both hormonal and non-hormonal options:

  • Bioidentical progesterone (oral or topical) – to ease sleep issues, reduce anxiety, and stabilise bleeding
  • DHEA (topical or capsule) – for women with low libido, energy dips, or vaginal dryness
  • Maca, red clover, and black cohosh – plant-based options to gently support estrogen balance
  • Topical estrogen or vaginal DHEA – applied directly to the vaginal tissue to relieve dryness, improve comfort during intimacy, and support overall vaginal health

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What exactly is Functional Medicine, and is it right for me?

    Functional Medicine is a whole-body approach to healthcare that looks at the root cause of your symptoms, not just the surface. If you’ve been feeling “off” but your lab tests are always “normal,” or you’re juggling a mix of fatigue, hormone imbalances, digestive issues, and mood shifts without clear answers, Functional Medicine may be the turning point. It’s especially helpful for women who’ve felt unheard or rushed in traditional medical settings and want a more connected, personalised approach to care

  • How is this different from conventional medicine?

    Conventional medicine typically focuses on diagnosing and treating symptoms with medications or procedures, often one issue at a time. Functional Medicine steps back and looks at the full picture, how your hormones, digestion, stress, nutrition, and lifestyle are all interacting. Rather than masking symptoms, we work to understand what’s driving them. The goal is to restore balance, not just offer temporary relief.

  • What kinds of concerns or conditions do you treat?

    We work with a wide range of health concerns that many women face, especially when they feel stuck between symptoms and solutions. These include hormonal issues (like irregular cycles, PMS, perimenopause, PCOS), thyroid and adrenal dysfunction, chronic fatigue, brain fog, digestive problems (bloating, IBS, food sensitivities), autoimmune flares, stress-related burnout, unexplained weight changes, and skin or hair concerns. If your body is giving you signals that something’s off, we help you listen and respond.

  • Do I have to do a lot of tests? Are they necessary?

    Not necessarily. We only recommend targeted testing if it gives us meaningful insight that can guide your care—never just for the sake of testing. If needed, we may explore hormone panels, gut microbiome assessments, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid/adrenal markers, or inflammation patterns. All testing is explained clearly, and you’re part of the decision-making every step of the way.

  • What does a Functional Medicine care plan include?

    Your plan is completely personalised based on your symptoms and test results (if applicable). We may suggest nutrition changes, therapeutic supplements, stress management tools, sleep support, hormonal or digestive strategies, and other treatments tailored to your life stage and goals. We explain the why behind every recommendation, so you feel informed, not overwhelmed.

  • How long will it take before I start feeling better?

    Healing isn’t a quick fix, it’s a process. Some women start noticing changes in a few weeks, while others need several months to see lasting improvement. It depends on what’s going on beneath the surface and how long your body’s been out of balance. What we promise is that we’ll walk beside you, adjusting the plan as your body responds and helping you celebrate the small (but important) wins along the way.

  • Can I still take my regular medications or work with my current doctor?

    Yes, absolutely. Functional Medicine can be safely integrated with your existing treatments. We’re happy to coordinate with your GP, specialist, or other care providers to ensure your care is cohesive and respectful of your current health plan. Our goal is to fill the gap—not to replace what’s working for you.

  • Do you offer virtual consultations?

    Yes. We understand that not everyone can come into the clinic, and we want this care to be as accessible as possible. Virtual consultations offer the same depth, attention, and personalisation as in-person visits, and we provide clear follow-up, test orders (where applicable), and guidance from afar.

  • Will my insurance cover Functional Medicine services?

    This varies by provider and plan. Functional Medicine is often considered a private or integrative service, so direct coverage can be limited. However, we can provide you with detailed invoices and documentation to assist with reimbursement if your plan allows. We're always transparent about costs and options before you commit.

  • Are supplements required, and will I have to take them forever?

    Supplements can be incredibly helpful, especially when correcting deficiencies or supporting specific systems, but they’re not forever. Our approach is food-first and root-cause focused. Supplements are tools we use intentionally, often for a specific time period, and we always explain why we’re recommending them and when you can scale back.
