Wellness is a journey, says Dr Zjunaid Khan
The root causes of health concerns will be looked at by considering factors such as nutrition, lifestyle, genetics, and mental wellness.
Ever wondered what functional medicine is all about?
Dr Zjunaid Khan, a general practitioner with an interest in functional and integrative medicine, explained his approach to treating his patients at his beautiful, brand new consulting rooms, WellMed Wellness Clinic at Ocean View Medical Suites in Port Shepstone.
Functional medicine is a holistic approach that goes beyond treating symptoms. He will look deeper to uncover the root causes of health concerns by considering factors like nutrition, lifestyle, genetics, and mental wellness.
Then, a personalised care plan is created that will support the patient’s entire well-being. Dr Khan believes in treating the whole person, not just isolated symptoms. An example is a supplement plan tailored to your needs.
Supplements can play a powerful role in supporting your overall health, but they’re not one-size-fits-all. From a functional health perspective, it’s important to identify your body’s unique needs and create a personalised plan.
At WellMed, your specific needs will be evaluated, whether it’s supporting hormonal balance, improving energy, boosting immunity, or enhancing gut health. It’s a bespoke approach that is designed to provide the best possible health outcomes.
“Prevention is better than cure,” says Dr Khan. He stresses that wellness should be considered as an investment. His motto is: ‘Wellness is a journey’. He also runs a travel clinic.
