We dive deep into the fascinating world of Gastrointestinal health during perimenopause and menopause. Dr Fionnula speaks to a system-based approach to gut health how this system is effected by hormonal changes.

Explore the revolutionary world of functional medicine, where prevention is the key to a better life. No more treating the symptoms; it's all about early detection and proactive care to prevent chronic diseases and optimize our well-being.

Dr Fionnula  guides us through evidence-based nutrition protocols, supplements, and lifestyle changes that we can implement today, paving the way for a healthier gut tomorrow. 

Dr. Fionnúla McHale pursued her love of science by studying Medicine at Trinity College Dublin. During that time, she secured prestigious research posts at the University of Ulster, Regenerative Medicine Institute in Galway, the University of Miami and the illustrious Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. However, Fionnula's passion lies in healthcare, how to achieve, maintain and ultimately optimize existing health as a positive entity rather than simply the absence of disease. 

Enthralled by her studies with the Institute for Functional Medicine, she now runs her own private Proactive Health Practice in Dublin City Centre and lectures extensively in universities and private colleges in Ireland. DISCLAIMER Please note that Functional Medicine/Nutrition is a complementary therapy for optimizing health instead of curing disease and, as such, is not recognized as a "medical specialty" by the Medical Council in Ireland. You must first see your GP/Consultant to out rule acute medical illness or more sinister causes of ill health.
