What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease. It views the body as one integrated system, not a collection of independent organs divided by medical specialties. This approach shifts the traditional disease-centered focus to a more patient-centered approach.
Functional medicine practitioners spend time with their patients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. This allows for personalized treatment plans that address the unique needs of each patient.
Instead of treating just the symptoms, functional medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease. For example, two people with the same condition might have very different treatment plans, tailored to their specific genetic makeup, biochemical imbalances, and lifestyle factors.
Functional medicine uses a science-based approach to understand how all the components of a person’s life—nutrition, stress, sleep, and more—affect their overall health. It involves advanced diagnostic testing to gather comprehensive health data. This data helps in creating precise treatment plans that often include dietary changes, supplements, and stress management techniques.
Patients seeking functional medicine often do so because they have not found satisfactory results with conventional medicine. Whether dealing with chronic conditions or seeking preventive care, functional medicine offers a thorough approach that emphasizes long-term health and well-being.

I have been treated by Dr Stavy for a few months now. She has a kind and gentle approach, which is invaluable when talking about something as sensitive as health. She listens to what I say and takes my concerns seriously, which is wonderful and refreshing.There is still some way to go, but through changes to diet, my IBS, which I had for about 15 years has gone, my sinus issues have greatly improved and I am no longer dizzy. I’ve also lost quite a bit of weight, which is a great and has improved my confidence.
Having a previous bad experience with homeopathy doctors, I was sceptical. Dr Stavy though is an excellent practician, hit the point from our first meeting, but most important she is an uderstanding person, with great instinct and very supporting towards me!

It was 20 years ago, that I met Stavroula! Kidney stones and extracorporeal lithotripsy did not work. The large stone did not break and I was getting ready for surgery. Stavroula took it upon herself to help me! About a year later, with patience and persistence and a lot of colic, the stone came off and came down! That’s how we started and “tied”!!!Since then, whatever problem I had, pathological, orthopedic but also psychological, I went to Stavroula!!Always with a sweet talk, with patience but also with scolding whenever needed!Thank you my dear!!!Be strong!!!
Dr stavvy is the best! I Couldn’t recommend her enough! In 2021 I was at a point where I was going to need a life altering operation then I come accross dr Stavy and within 3/4 months I was back to my normal self and pregnant! All with natural and homeopathy treatments. I still have a routine check up with Dr Stavy to this day to make sure everything’s as it should be. I owe this lovely lady my life and she has changed my whole outlook on modern medicine. If I were ever to be sick again Dr Stavy would be the first person I would call before any doctor!!!

I have been in touch with Dr Stavy for 5 or 6 years now and find the Functional medicine approach very helpful. I’ve had ME for a long time and conventional medicine is only able to treat/suppress the symptoms whereas the tests I’ve done for Dr Stavy have helped pinpoint some of the causes of my symptoms. She is easy and sympathetic to talk to and always very encouraging. She feels like a friend and it is good to know that she is there to support me when needed. I have also found her homeopathic treatment helpful.

I started alone as a single person and now we are seeking her advice as a family. Even that she is not close to us, as she is living in UK, our relationship is very strong.
Dr. Stavy has been treating me since November 2020 and since my life has only been better. Her engagement with her patients, the professionalism, the genuine support and compassion make Dr. Stavy a special therapist that one can trust primarily as a human and definitely as a doctor.
