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.

Dr. Stavy’s extensive experience in functional medicine allows for effective management and treatment of various conditions. This patient-focused approach ensures a thorough understanding of each individual’s unique health picture, providing a clear path towards better health.

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.

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! Qualities I value the most! Thank you Dr Stavy for everything, I am lucky to have found you!

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!!!

After a £380 appointment for me and my son over 2 weeks ago, Dr. Stavy has ghosted us. She has not followed through on sending us the tests that we need to take, or reply to any of my emails regarding next steps. During tne 1 hour interview with me and my son, she just read through some of the basic questions that didn’t need repeating. She has a basic Zoom account that cut out after 40 min and she had to dial back in. She promised a comprehensive assessment, labs, homeopathic treatments with no follow through. I have not heard from her since she said she would send instructions for labs and send the labs, over 2 weeks ago. I am disputing her services with my credit card company.

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.

First of all I have to say that Dr Stavy is a wonderful person. She is so kind and trying always to help you. Our relation is very old since last decade and we are very happy to have her in our life. 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.
