Most people are making health decisions based on generalized recommendations without ever truly understanding their bodies. Your health is too important for a one-size fits all approach.

Our goal is to empower people to reach their ideal level of health. For each patient, we need to figure out their story, their triggers, their mediators and eventually develop a plan that can heal them or get them closer to functioning on an optimal level.
We use a patient-centered approach that incorporates aspects of allopathic medicine, nutrition, behavioural therapy, supplements, and other disciplines. The influence of genetics, the environment, and lifestyle on overall health are considered. We have a saying of “test don’t guess” and therefore our treatments are very personalised and aimed at each individual’s own results and needs. Functional medicine treatment often starts with the gut, where a lot of the healing starts. We help our patients move towards a diet and lifestyle that is supportive of healing. This plan differs from person to person.
Treatment sometimes involves eliminating and reintroducing foods to see what’s causing inflammation or other symptoms in the body. Medical doctors, dietitians, and life coaches often form part of the team to ensure optimal care. Sometimes, we want to promote gut healing, and other times we may want to support the body’s detoxification processes. Depending on where the key imbalances are in terms of body metabolism and different kinds of functions of the body, we can therapeutically use the diet to help support healing. Other parts of a patient’s lifestyle like sleep, physical activity and stress are also considered.
Since functional medicine looks for underlying causes and treats the whole patient, healing can take time. The most successful patients are willing to invest time and energy into the process. Patients starting this healing journey need to be motivated. They may have to change their diet, lifestyle and their habits without just taking a pill to mask all the symptoms. When it comes to true healing and health, there is no quick fix or instant solution. It takes commitment, willpower and routine.

A Registered Dietitian is associated with a variety of nutritional roles. Yes, weight loss is one of the roles, but it is not the only one. During the consultation, the dietitian will assess to determine a nutritional plan based on scientific evidence.
At RevitaHealth, we believe in providing personally-tailored nutritional advice that incorporates realistic goals, ongoing progress monitoring, and focussed plans that boost your overall health.
What is the process during your consultation?
The dietitian will assess your health, to determine your nutritional goals.
It can be achieved, by learning about you, your health history, your favourite (and worst!) foods, your eating routines, and your exercise habits. Using this information, we can understand where to push and where to pull, allowing us, both, to embark on a life-changing journey.
To ensure we achieve our collective goal, you will receive a comprehensive nutritional guide—personally tailored to you. Depending on you, as a person, this guide can either be: a strict plan; strong guidelines that still provide you with freedom and creativity to take control of your food menu; or a balance of both.
Your consultations can cover any of the below topics. (Depending on the wellness goal.)

Your genes don’t work in isolation – they work with each other and the body’s environment. What we eat, how we move, our stress levels and our emotional lives affect how our genes behave. Understanding our individual genetic blueprint can guide us to make health choices that help us to live happier, longer and better.
With knowledge about your unique epigenetics, your individual journey to optimal health suddenly has a clear roadmap.
The field of epigenetics is fascinating and ever-evolving and sure to provide some much-needed answers to many of our unanswered questions when it comes to health, wellness, and ageing. Epigenetics affects how genes are read by cells, and subsequently whether the cells should produce relevant proteins or not. In other words, epigenetics actually controls genes. Epigenetics literally means “above” or “on top of” genetics. It refers to external modifications to DNA that turn genes “on” or “off”. These modifications do not change the DNA sequence, but instead, they affect how cells “read” genes.
But what does that mean?
Cells are the baseline working units of every human being and they get all their instructions from DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) which consist of four amino acids- we have about 3 billion of these bases in our bodies with 20 000 genes in them. The sequence or order of the DNA basis is what determines our life instructions that trigger various biological actions to carry out life functions.
Epigenetics affects how genes are read by cells, and subsequently whether the cells should produce relevant proteins or not. In other words, epigenetics actually controls genes. This is done through nature where it determines a cell’s specialization (eg. hair cell, liver cell, skin cell, etc) and through nurture where environmental stimuli can also cause genes to be turned on or off.
What you eat, where you live, how you handle stress, who you interact with, how you exercise, how much you sleep, the supplements you take- all of these can cause chemical modifications in genes that will switch them on or off over time.
In certain diseases, various genes will be switched into the opposite state, away from the normal/healthy state as is the case with cancer or Alzheimer’s disease. The different combinations of genes that are turned on or off is what makes each one of us unique.
With more than 20,000 genes, the possible arrangements are endless. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are a type of polymorphism involving variation of a single base pair.
Researchers have found SNPs that may help predict an individual’s response to certain drugs, susceptibility to environmental factors such as toxins or risk of developing certain diseases. SNPs can also be used to tract the inheritance of disease genes in families.
With epigenetic testing we can now map many of these different combinations and strive to keep the good while eliminating the bad. By doing so, we can possibly slow aging, stop obesity, and so much more.
