Metabolic and functional medicine is the treatment of disease using the body’s natural biochemistry with the latest evidence-based scientific research, to find the root causes of a specific or multiple chronic health disorders. With the aim of reversing such conditions, this methodology combines dietary & lifestyle modifications with the prescription of nutraceuticals.

DSY Wellness specialises in metabolic and functional medicine, and the study of how and why the root causes lead to a variety of chronic health problems. Jonathan Chew, a senior consultant at DSY Wellness, explains that the centre uses natural remedies to bring the body back into balance, reverse the condition and allow the body to function optimally again without the reliance on chemical medication.

The team at DSY Wellness understands that each person has a unique genetic makeup that reacts differently to the environment, so extensive lab testing is done to determine what is not working well for the patient. Personalised recommendations are given regarding what foods work best with your body and what supplements can optimise its functioning.

Apart from addressing chronic health disorders, DSY Wellness also partners with the Institute of Complementary & Traditional Medicine (www.ictm.org.my) to provide various courses of personal health empowerment. The centre believes that education is key to address the rising prevalence rate of chronic health disorders both locally and internationally.
