Aches, pains and inflammation -

ACHES, PAINS & INFLAMMATION

4 SESSIONS / 8 WEEKS

Functional medicine can support the reduction of joint and body aches by exploring the underlying patterns that drive chronic pain, stiffness, and fatigue rather than focusing solely on symptom relief. By recognising how inflammation, nervous system overload, metabolic imbalance, and impaired recovery contribute to ongoing discomfort, this approach works to restore balance within the body’s systems.

HIPPOCRATES

Identifying your root causes

Modern lifestyles often place the body in a constant state of low-grade strain that gradually shows up as persistent aches and pains, particularly in the muscles, joints, and connective tissues. Long hours of sitting, repetitive movements, poor posture, chronic stress, disrupted sleep, and limited restorative movement can subtly alter how the body moves and recovers, leading to stiffness, tension, joint discomfort, and widespread sensitivity commonly seen in conditions like fibromyalgia and chronic musculoskeletal pain. Many people recognise the pattern of feeling sore on waking, tight by the end of the day, or experiencing pain without a clear injury, symptoms that slowly become normalised and woven into everyday life.

Why is this program for me?

For many people, this description feels uncomfortably familiar. The regular bloating, persistent tiredness, unexplained aches, brain fog, frequent cravings, and feeling ‘run down’ despite trying to cope are often subtle signs that the body is struggling under an ongoing inflammatory load. What makes this especially relatable is how easy it becomes to normalise these symptoms, dismissing them as part of ageing, stress, or a busy life, until they begin to interfere with mood, movement, sleep, and overall quality of life. If you can identify with this, this programme may be for you and could give you the breakthrough you have been looking for to return to wellness and help you thrive!

Chronic constipation

I have attended Mr. Fortuna’s clinic on several occasions and I have found him to be very attentive and caring. He tries hard to understand your symptoms and find a solution to your problem. His advice was very useful and I won’t hesitate to consult him in future for further assistance if required.

Digestion, blood pressure, hypothyroidism, overweight

I thought that because I was getting older, weight gain was something I had to accept. I was also having problems with my digestive system, blood pressure, hypothyroidism and lack of sleep. But then, I met Andrew, a true professional, who is teaching me to make small adjustments in my eating habits. A lifestyle plan, not a diet, which is easy to follow, keeps the weight off and helps with my health problems. Andrew, I cannot thank you enough. This is life changing, and I am over the moon with my progress. With your motivation and guidance, I am happpier, healthier, very positive and losing weight. I am very grateful for your support. Thank you.

Whole body Eczema

After years of poor diet and a period of stress, I had a break out of eczema. ‘Chronic’ was the prognosis of more than one doctor but for all their knowledge, the one thing they couldn’t give me is time often given in a rush. A local dermatologist had no long-term solutions. But after some intelligent analysis from Andrew the issue improved. 5 months later, I’m sold on a new, healthier lifestyle. Andrew offered a break from all of that by taking a deep-dive into my health, before grasping the solution. A thorough questionnaire and a blood test presented him with a complete picture of my health, tailoring dietary and lifestyle recommendations that worked! With Andrew his mind isn’t on the next patient. Andrew’s services are: holistic, competent and slick. He looks at the bigger picture instead of plastering the cracks, and above all, an exceptional attention to detail that you won’t get from any GP. I can’t recommend him highly enough and his long-term programmes!

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (constipation dominant)

“I have been dealing with IBS for over twenty years and have suffered with chronic constipation, food intolerances, chronic gut pains, muscle & bone aches and pains, pins & needles on my extremities, excessive bloating & gas. I had seen a lot of specialists throughout the years but only helped a little bit, which was affecting my mental wellbeing. Although a bit skeptical at first, I came to see Andrew as last resort due to positive experiences from Facebook. The transformation has been life-changing to the point that most of my gut symptoms have resolved, regular bowel movements, no pins & needles, feeling much more energetic, and simply doing things I just could not do before. My GP and gastroenterologist are very pleased and encouraged me to continue Andrew’s recommendations. Thank Andrew for your help, really appreciated.”

Cholecystitis, overweight, pre-diabetes, knee pain, hot flushes, NAFLD, renal angiomylolipoma

In under two years, Andrew significantly improved my health, easing gallbladder, hip, and knee pain linked to excess weight, as well as menopausal hot flushes, pre-diabetes, and NAFLD. My blood sugar is now optimal, and imaging shows mild liver improvement. Pain disappeared as swiftly as the kilos, and hot flushes are nearly gone. Through personalised nutrition and gentle exercise, I lost 12kg in six months and have mostly maintained it. Andrew is direct, highly knowledgeable, and translates his expertise into tailored advice. Nutritional therapy will take effort, commitment and motivation on your part. It is not an easy or a quick fix, but the results can be life-changing. I highly recommend Andrew.

Chronic full body eczema, asthma, anxiety, food intolerances

“I was one of Andrew’s more challenging clients, suffering from lifelong eczema. Despite many GP & dermatologist visits, I felt dissatisfied and misunderstood, with treatment options which overlooked my stress & diet. After two tough Covid years, I turned to Andrew. Through in-depth assessments and lab tests, we identified diet and lifestyle as key triggers for my skin & mental struggles. His dedication to finding solutions is unmatched. My body resisted initial methods, but Andrew researched & adjusted my program until the break- through. The impact on my skin & mental health has been life- changing. After working with Andrew for a year, I can highly recommend his long-term Nutritional Therapy programs.”

Meet your practitioner

Andrew Fortuna studied Nutrition Science (BSc) Hons and Personalised Nutrition (MSc) based on a systems biology approach, a holistic and integrative method used to understand complex biological systems by analysing their interconnected components, rather than studying individual parts in isolation. It involved a deep emphasis on nutritional biochemistry, and the influence of nutrients and food components on cellular and molecular pathways involved in the pathophysiology of a wide range of chronic diseases using evidence-based pathophysiological reasoning. Clinical training, required to meet UK National Occupational Standards, involved being able to apply all this knowledge to four supervised clients experiencing a wide range of chronic health conditions to help ameliorate or prevent disease based on the Functional Medicine Model.
