As a child I always wanted to become a private investigator. Luckily I realised early that hiding unsuspiciously was not wasn’t gonna work for me as I was already by far the tallest in our class. So I chose to become a healthcare professional instead – a pharmacist who needs incredible attention to detail in handling potent drugs and poisons (i.e. cytostatica for cancer patients). I reality this often means doctors and pharmacists are trained by the industry to deliver “best practice sick-care” according to the standards stipulated by “key opinion leaders”. I believe there’s no doubt about the fact that doctors and allied professionals should focus on health and wellness more than “disease management”. Also I don’t feel like a manager nor do I believe I’m good at it.
Enter The LivingMatrix – A Functional Medicine Solution for Health Detectives
I consider myself lucky to still have become an investigator – a health detective. Patients trust me with their health inspection. The first duty for a proper detective when arriving at a health crime scene is to dress the wounded and start gathering evidence. Conventionally trained doctor-officers will often not allow anybody at the crime scene. But something goes awry when even the patient-victim is excluded from the scene. In Functional Medicine we keep our eyes wide open and gather every bit of information in a single file. The LivingMatrix serves as my case record and you as my most important side-kick! In fact my aim will be to help you into the driver’s seat on your journey to health.
Functional Medicine is known as the “Medicine of Why”- investigative healthcare to uncover the root causes of your health issues
