IFM Trained NutriPath & FitGenes Accredited In-Clinic & Telehealth Glenfield & Orewa

Getting to the root of the problem

Functional Medicine looks past the symptom to ask why it's happening — treating the person, not just the diagnosis. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we combine an in-depth consultation, targeted lab testing, and a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan to address what's actually driving your symptoms.

This page brings together everything under our Functional Medicine umbrella: the consultation service itself, our Nutrition programme, and all seven of our Functional Medicine testing pathways — so you can see the full picture and find the right starting point.

How consultation, testing and nutrition fit together

Most people who come to us for Functional Medicine have already tried the standard approach and want to understand why symptoms are persisting. Your first consultation is about listening — your history, your symptoms, your goals — before deciding whether testing is needed and which pathway makes sense.

If testing is recommended, we choose from the seven pathways above based on your specific symptoms: adrenal and hormone panels for fatigue and stress-related concerns, stool testing for gut symptoms, genetic testing for a lifelong blueprint, toxin and organic acids testing for environmental and metabolic drivers, and food sensitivity/allergy testing when diet may be a factor. Results are reviewed with you in detail, and where nutrition plays a role, our Nutrition programme builds that into a practical, personalised plan — so you leave with a clear next step, not just a list of numbers.

Functional Medicine at Premier Wellness isn't a one-off appointment — it's an ongoing relationship. Many patients start with a single consultation and a targeted test, then return for periodic reviews as their results and circumstances change. Because our Functional Medicine, Nutrition and testing services all sit under one roof at Glenfield and Orewa, your practitioner can adjust your plan without you needing to repeat your history with a new provider each time, and telehealth follow-ups mean ongoing care doesn't require an in-person visit for every appointment.

Common questions

Which Functional Medicine test is right for me?
It depends on your symptoms and history — your practitioner will recommend the right starting point (or combination) at your consultation, rather than you needing to choose in advance.
Do I need a GP referral?
No referral is required for a Functional Medicine consultation. You can book directly, and testing is arranged from there based on what's clinically appropriate.
Can I do this via telehealth if I'm outside Auckland?
Yes — Functional Medicine and Nutrition consultations are available via telehealth NZ-wide, with sample collection kits sent to you where testing is needed.
What's the difference between Functional Medicine and seeing my GP?
Your GP is essential for diagnosis, medication and urgent care. Functional Medicine works alongside that — spending more time on your history and using targeted testing to look for underlying drivers (gut, hormonal, nutritional, toxin-related) that a standard appointment often doesn't have time to explore.
Will testing give me a diagnosis?
No — this testing is for informational and educational purposes and works alongside, not instead of, advice from your qualified healthcare provider. Your practitioner reviews results with you as part of a wider clinical picture.
