In my clinic, I take the functional medicine approach as basis and follow it with a holistic process that takes care of the balance of body, mind and spirit. 

Accordingly, you can find detailed information about the processes, goals and treatment approaches I performed in my clinic below.

The Functional Medicine approach is a new generation medicine movement that targets the permanent health status of individuals in chronic health problems. The foundation of practice is to discover the root cause of the patient's dysfunction and then apply individualized treatments. Preventive medicine, which is not only the treatment of complex diseases, but also the prevention of diseases before they occur, is also within the scope of functional medicine.

Recently, despite all scientific advances and our increasing technological infrastructure, we see a rapid increase in the incidence of many chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, chronic constipation, chronic diarrhea, migraine, heart disease, cancer, neurodevelopmental problems (autism, ADHD, etc.), allergies, hashimoto etc. autoimmune diseases. This situation is accompanied by a decrease in the age of incidence of diseases. Our generation has been condemned to a life with chronic health problems and drug addiction since childhood.  

Although the classical medical approach is successful in treating ACUTE diseases, unfortunately, it is inadequate in treating CHRONIC diseases. Among the main reasons for this inadequacy, it is possible to count the ignoring of the individual's genetic characteristics, living conditions, environmental factors, nutrition, previous illness and treatment processes in the classical medical approach. With an approach that focuses on suppressing the problem, not the health, which is a complete cure, such as complaints, possible diagnoses, a short examination and providing temporary solutions to stop the disease in 5-10 minute patient interviews, a permanent state of health cannot be achieved. .

Incomplete analyses, reproducible problems and inadequate solutions in this and similar examination and treatment journey will cause problems, deficiencies and malfunctioning functions in the body to turn into chronic diseases.

First, I do a comprehensive research in cooperation with our patient. 

I take a detailed look at our patient's history and evaluate the genetic heritage, lifestyle and environmental factors that may affect the chronic disease. I search for the root causes of the existing condition by focusing on the current complaints and the patient rather than the disease from a broad perspective, going beyond symptomatic treatment. 

The treatment methods I apply aim not to suppress the symptoms but to create a long-term healthy vitality. 

The balance between body, mind and spirit is precious. According to the principles of FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE, health is a state of complete well-being as bio-psycho-social-bioenergy and I focus on this as a functional medicine physician.

In my Functional Medicine and Holistic approach, I do patient-centered personalized treatment practices, not disease-centered general treatments.

I plan and program not only to prolong the patient's life expectancy, but also to increase the quality of health. 

My goal is not a drug-dependent temporary well-being, but a full recovery.

DIAGNOSIS

I have enough time for my patients. I listen and analyze the whole story of our patients, whom I see for the first time, from the womb. I review his illnesses and treatments and learn comprehensively from birth to the present. In other words, I get to know my patients' aspects before making a treatment plan.

Functional medicine follows scientific protocols, completely PERSONALIZED in a holistic way.

I conduct a comprehensive analysis and look for root causes of symptoms, taking into account genetic, biochemical, psychological, lifestyle factors, family, medical history and much more during the examination. Root causes are essential for the treatment of the disease.

For example, in treating the patient who applied to me for migraine attacks, trying to relieve the headaches and suppressing the pain without eliminating the leading cause means that the disease recurs and even comes back as new diseases. Suppression is not a cure.

In my treatment processes , I open up space to connect with my patients and focus on their stories with empathy. With this approach, I identify the precursors, triggers and mediators for the analysis and diagnosis of clinical imbalances and chronic health problems in our patient.

These illuminate possible root causes of the disease. Thus, I create a completely personalized examination and treatment protocol regarding the dysfunctions in our patient.

EXAMINATION

In my medical practice, I use holistic and specific techniques to find the root causes of complex diseases within the scope of Functional Medicine. All tests in Turkey and abroad can be applied in my clinic. In this process, I look for multiple factors causing a problem.

For example, obesity may have numerous causes or triggers.

Many precursors, triggers or mediators are seen, such as inflammation, hormone imbalances, genetic and epigenetic factors, nutritional and physical activity deficiencies, microbiota disorders, mood disorders, etc. Therefore, I work on permanent solutions that eliminate common problems in this process.

Some of our applied tests are:

Routine Biochemistry Tests

Genetic Scans

Microbiological Tests

Allergy Tests

Food Sensitivity

Heavy Metal Scanning

Bowel Health Scans

Microbiota Analysis

Persistent bowel problems, 

Autoimmune Diseases, 

Hashimoto 

Thyroid Diseases,, 

Diabetes 

Persistent Allergies, 

Histamine Intolerance, 

Fibromyalgia

SIBO, 

Migraine, 

Asthma,

Skin problems: Acne, eczema, psoriasis

Chronic Fatigue,

Chronic Diarrhea and Constipation, 

Digestive disorders: IBS, GI issuesı

Personalized Healthy Nutrition, 

Personalized Diet Programs, 

Personal Detox

In addition:

Chronic health problems such as Hyperactivity, Attention Deficit, Autism are followed up with the NEURODEVELOPMENTAL team as a HOLISTIC APPROACH. For our steps that require neurodevelopment follow-up, we have an exceptional multidisciplinary and coordinated follow-up system with an expert team.  

My examination time is much longer than a standard medical examination because I want a detailed data analysis. With a 2-3 hour interview with our newly arrived patients, we create data that can make accurate analyses by establishing a bond with our patient and collecting the right clues.

In my clinic, I apply a personalized treatment protocol. Even in 2 people with the same disease, treatment protocols must be completely different. Each individual and their story is unique, the universe in their body is unique to themselves. Even different forms of the same vitamin can significantly affect the course of the disease. Applying the diet we give to a patient to a different patient with the same disease may cause her problems. Therefore, both the examination and treatment processes are entirely singular.

I take a holistic approach. Migraine is much more than just a headache problem for me. During the examination, I examine what the migraine is trying to tell us, what and where. Otherwise, suppressing migraine will not bring health, since its root cause continues, it will appear as a different disease in another period. The most precious step for me in our examination and treatment processes is the effort we give in cooperation with my patients.  

. This step is very valuable and necessary as I have observed over the years that this step in the patient-doctor relationship is an exciting, motivating and strong bonding process for both our patients and us . Thanks to the patient's active participation and effort, we achieved outstanding results with which we carried out a great team work, and we saw happy faces thanks to this cooperation. 

Functional Medicine is a multidisciplinary medicine. It integrates knowledge and tests in physiology, biochemistry, genetics, immunology, microbiology, neuroscience, pharmacology, psychology, toxicology and many more. 

It has a multifaceted discipline of science. Nutrition is one of the main elements of health, and proper nutrition is an important part of our treatment processes. For this reason, follow-up and regulation of nutrition by our expert Functional Medicine dietitian and Phytotherapist is an important step in our journey to health. We use food as medicine. Reviewing other factors affecting health is also an essential part of treatment.

Promoting a healthy state of vitality should be the primary concern of medicine. I continue to work on all scientific healing paths by targeting this.
