Tired, anxious, can't sleep, skin flaring, gut unsettled, hormones all over the place... and every symptom has been looked at on its own.
Sound familiar? Doctors don't seem to have a name for it.
It's why my specialism is called psychoneuroimmunoendocrinology.
Yes, it's a mouthful but being a "general practice" herbalist is almost impossible to search for.
What it means is the following:
Psycho: your mind and your stress
Neuro: your nervous system
Immuno: your immune system
Endocrino: your hormones
These four are not separate departments. They talk to each other constantly. Long-term stress changes your hormones. Hormones shape how your immune system behaves. Your immune system sends signals back to your brain and nerves. Pull on one thread and the whole web moves.
Fundamentally, it is about seeing the wood from the trees. It provides an opportunity to pull back and look at the big picture. Move away from all the diagnoses and look at what factors led to a state of dis-ease in the first place. It's functional Medicine.
Some think it is complex. I like to think of it as simple enough that even a baby could understand it. And it works. Simple things can make big changes.
There's a real shift happening in mainstream medicine to understand this area better and, ideally, it's the kind of whole-person view every GP used to have time for. But short appointments just doesn't leave room to follow the threads.
A herbal consultation does. I'll give you the time to tell your whole story, I examine, assess, and put the pieces together, and then I prescribe a plan built around you. The aim is simple: to see the wood for the trees, so a confusing tangle of symptoms starts to make sense.
If you've ever felt like nobody has looked at the whole picture, I'd love to help you look at it properly.
People get distracted by specialisms at times. Ultimately, if it is eczema, diabetes, lyme disease, or arthritis; all can be addressed in a similar way. Think of the herbalist as a GP with time to assess the whole you.
