PREDIABETES / DIABETES

MULTI SESSIONS / 3 or 6 MONTHS

Functional medicine can improve prediabetes and type 2 diabetes by addressing the individual root drivers of blood sugar dysregulation rather than focusing solely on symptom control. This personalised approach looks at various aspects of your metabolism that may be correcting, not just diet. By identifying and correcting underlying imbalances unique to the individual, functional medicine supports improved glucose control, enhanced insulin sensitivity and more sustainable long-term metabolic health, often reducing reliance on escalating medication over time.

HIPPOCRATES

Identifying your root causes

From a functional medicine perspective, blood glucose control is fundamental to long-term health because it reflects the balance of insulin sensitivity, metabolic function, inflammation and hormonal regulation. When blood sugar remains elevated over time, it contributes to widespread cellular damage, oxidative stress and chronic low-grade inflammation, all of which accelerate the development of cardiometabolic disease, cognitive decline and neurodegeneration. Addressing dysregulated glucose levels early is critical, as insulin resistance has been strongly linked to impaired brain energy metabolism and is increasingly associated with Alzheimer’s disease, sometimes referred to as ‘type 3 diabetes.’ Using a personalised approach and identifying and correcting these imbalances at an early stage, functional medicine supports metabolic stability and helps reduce the risk of progressive complications before irreversible damage occurs.

Many clients reversed prediabetes / type 2 diabetes

I have an excellent track record in helping clients reverse their prediabetes / type 2 diabetes. Read this BLOGPOST about a case study of an overweight client with prediabetes and how using a science-based personalised approach positively changed a wide range of key blood and other anthropometric markers reducing short and long-term risks.

Why is this program for me?

Working with a clinically-trained Nutritional Therapist (NT) can play a pivotal role in improving blood glucose control by providing personalised, evidence-based guidance tailored to your unique biology, lifestyle and health history. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, an NT helps identify hidden drivers of poor glycaemic regulation such as insulin resistance, dietary imbalances, stress, sleep disruption and micronutrient deficiencies. Through targeted nutritional strategies and sustainable lifestyle support, this approach not only helps stabilise blood sugar levels but also reduces the long-term risk of associated complications such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, neuropathy and chronic inflammation, empowering individuals to regain control of their metabolic health and resilience.

Client testimonials

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.
