Don’t rely on assumptions—test don’t guess! Laboratory tests, including blood tests and urinalysis, along with advanced clinical testing methods like saliva, stool samples, and urine testing, can help identify issues such as hormonal imbalances, vitamin/nutrient insufficiencies, gut microbiome dysfunctions, and more.
Functional diagnostics can also reveal food sensitivities, gut health concerns, toxicities, and other underlying conditions, providing a clearer picture of your health.
Chronic Disease: Our society is facing a rapid rise in complex, chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, mental health disorders, and autoimmune illnesses like rheumatoid arthritis & thyroid imbalances.
Moving Beyond Acute Care: We look beyond the conventional lens, creating a balanced partnership between the Primary Provider, conventional specialties, and Functional Medicine.
Updated Science: A major gap exists between advancing research and the way medicine is often practiced, leaving many patients underserved. In the case of complex, chronic illness, it can take decades for new scientific discoveries to be fully integrated into clinical care. Why accept outdated approaches when better options are available?
Chronic Care Support: Unfortunately, the acute-care model of medicine is not designed to prevent or treat complex, chronic disease. It often overlooks each individual’s unique genetic makeup, as well as critical influences such as environmental toxin exposure and modern lifestyle factors that drive the rise of chronic illness in western society.
At the Makrides Wellness Centre, we help you achieve lasting health by addressing complex chronic illnesses, mental and behavioural health, preventive wellness, longevity, and the transformative power of “food as medicine.” Our skilled functional medicine team identifies the root causes of disease, using advanced diagnostics and personalized care plans that go beyond symptom management.
We take a holistic approach, combining innovative therapies with supportive coaching to promote mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall well-being. Preventive wellness is central to our philosophy, empowering you with the tools and knowledge to maintain optimal health and prevent future illness.
Nutrition is a cornerstone of our approach, and our licensed dieticians create personalized eating plans that harness the healing power of food to support your unique needs. By integrating these elements, we offer a comprehensive, transformative path toward lasting health and vitality.
We focus on uncovering the root causes of illness, not just treating symptoms. We see health as a continuum, where the body, mind, and environment interact over time. Chronic conditions often develop gradually, and restoring wellness means identifying and correcting the underlying imbalances.
Our practitioners take a 360-degree approach, carefully examining your history, lifestyle, and biology to uncover the factors behind your symptoms. Like detectives, they create personalized care plans designed to restore balance and support lasting health.
