What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine is a modality that addresses the healthcare needs of the 21st century, by shifting from a traditional disease-centred focus to a more client-centred approach.

It addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. Practitioners spend time with their clients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health. In this way, it supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.

The Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), the global leader in providing clinical education in this approach, is pleased to announce Jo Gamble as a member of the first graduating class of certified practitioners.

As a graduate of The IFM’s Certification Program (IFMCP), Jo Gamble is uniquely trained in the functional medicine model. To achieve the designation of IFM Certified Practitioner, Jo Gamble has completed 7 onsite training seminars and passed stringent written and case study evaluations.

Jo Gamble was the first UK-trained practitioner to graduate from the Institute of Functional Medicine in 2013.
