The Advantage of Having Functional Medicine On Your Side [news]

Personal training in essence is, individualising fitness, nutrition and training methodologies to suit your client or athletes ability to maximise a pre-determined goal or outcome. The key here is to maximise their ability. Often the mentality of “eating less and exercising more” is not enough to maximise their results or even obtain a result in some people. Functional medicine teaches you the skills to identify which area in your clien'ts life has to be addressed, enabling you to truly maximise their results. I have countless case studies where issues such as gluten sensitivity, GI dysfunction, sleep disorders, vitamin and mineral insufficiencies, food intolerances and acidosis have been overlooked by personal trainers only to have these issues completely stop the client from obtaining any results.
