Melbourne Functional Medicine

I'm happy to write this review to thank Jabe and Jess's wonderful support over the past six months. Before I started treatment with Melbourne Functional Medicine I had been suffering severe insomnia for many years. Out of despair, i joined their treatment program. At the beginning of the program, I have undertaken a series of tests that helped me discover many of my health problems I was not aware before. Jabe gave me a series of treatment plans targeting those problems together with my insomnia issue. Of course those plans are not magic pills to take effect immediately, but they brought me into the right direction. Now I can see the improvement of my progress and I had gradually built up the skills and good habits to deal with the problems. From the experience with Functional Medicine, I learned that health problems are not simply physical issues, they relate to your eating, thinking and living habits. You must take your health seriously, put your health as your first priority and have good self discipline and then you can achieve your health goal. Thank you Jobe and Jess, and I wish more people can benefit from your program.

I’m very happy I decided to invest in doing a program with Rebecca and Jess from Melbourne Functional Medicine, I have had numerous symptoms for years and after they carefully put all the pieces together and based on testing I have now discovered a lot of my symptoms have come from food sensitivites & toxic mold, I have seen a reduction in 80% of my symptoms since working with the team and they have been so helpful in guiding me every step of the way with constant check ins. I highly recommend anyone with health issues that are wanting to get to the root cause of there symptoms to book in with this clinic as I cannot thank both of them enough for all the help & guidance

For as long as I can remember I have struggled with headaches, brain fog, bloating and inflammation. Over the years I have seen several GPs and never had any measurable success in addressing my symptoms. Jabe and Bee have finally put me on the right track and now I have never felt better. They analyzed the way I was living and adjusted the foods I was eating, prescribed supplements, advised on sleep hygiene, exercise, and mental well-being. Jabe and Bee were able to look at my life as whole, treating the cause and not just the symptoms.

I am very glad that I have found this clinic in Melbourne. They helped me to reduce my symptoms, feel better, reduce pain and have more energy. We have already resolved couple of my health issues and are working on reversing my Hashimoto’s decease. Rebecca and Char gave me plenty of great advices which will help me to live healthier, happier and longer life. I wish all people have access to Functional Medicine because it gives more results than traditional medicine. I love team’s approach and looking forward to learn more about healthy habits and my body together with Rebecca and Char. Thank you so much.

I fell into Melbourne Function Centre after watching Mark Hyman on YouTube and loved the idea of taking control and understanding why I am experiencing a lack of health. After having all my amalgam fillings removed I signed up for a 6 mth program with MFM. The support I’ve received from Rebecca and Char, well I can only say that it’s been a fabulous journey of education and self improvement. I couldn’t have done it on my own and look at the experience as an investment in health. They have listened to me, supported me and educated me in so many different ways. Although I have nearly completed the program I am confident the relationship that has been established will continue to evolve over the years to come. Thank you beautiful ladies I am forever grateful to have met you. All the staff at MFM are so kind and supportive an absolute credit to each and everyone of you!

I could not be more happy with the experience I've had with MFM. I originally went to MFM last year with what i thought was an isolated sleep issue. From the initial consultation, subsequent testing and chats afterwards, I learned an incredible amount about myself. With the practical recommendations from the team, I was able to remarkably improve not just my sleep but my life holistically in a sustainable way. I would recommend MFM to anyone seeking to improve themselves. Thanks again!

Wow, what an incredible service this is! Rebecca and the team delved incredibly deep to uncover the WHY behind the issues I presented with. I have been impressed with how they use testing, data and the results to make a customised treatment plan. And of course, the results follow from there. With the support of my health coach, I have been able to address and resolved these issues. Their knowledge and support throughout this period has been like no other I've experienced in the health field!

I highly recommend Melbourne Functional Medicine!
Jabe, Bee and Courtney have been very professional, intellectual and caring.
I am now feeling fantastic and on track to achieving my health goals.
Thank you to everyone at MFM.

I've been visiting Melbourne Functional Medicine and seeing Rebecca and Char for the past 4 months regarding skin and hormone issues. Not only were the reasons behind my issues established, but an effective treatment plan was created and it actually has worked! I am constantly surprised that my skin is continuing to improve and is showing no signs of going backwards, like previous experiences with other practitioners have.
I have nothing but positive things to say about the team and could not recommend them enough.

I have been suffering from gut issues and inflammation for a long time. After trying with so many doctors and specialists and doing many tests, nothing worked.
I had no hope with the conventional doctors and decided to go through a functional one. This is the best decision I have made so far in my life.
It is costly for sure but I know the reason behind that. Doctor Jabe and her assistant Jess are very very knowledgeable and helpful. I was able to find out the main reason behind my condition. And after following doctor Jabe’s 30 day eliminating diet and completely cutting out the gluten (found out I am reactive to gluten only after visiting dr.jabe) my health conditions improved significantly. I am still following his diets and supplements and since then I can feel that I’ve got my life back. I am very thankful to them.

This is the first time I am writing a review very proudly.

I just want to say the level of care and the amount of compassion that Bee and Jabe have is incredible. They have been nothing but amazing even though I’m thousands of miles away the regular calls between Jabe and Bee has been immensely helpful in getting to the root of my stomach issues and finding the best way to get it back on track. It’s been a long hard journey it’s still not over yet for me but with Jabe and Bee by my side i’m very confident i’ll recover from this. Jabe is the man when it comes to figuring out what is going on and Bee is just wonderful when it comes to keeping you on track to with challenges. Working with both of them has elevated my conscience about my body and I’ve gotten to know a great deal about it. Not only thru food but many other aspects as well. And not forgetting about Courtney who is fantastic at getting your supplements to you ASAP. All in all fantastic place to get your health back together.

Working with Jabe and Bee has been the best investment I have made in myself! I have hypothyroid and have gone from feeling depressed, fatigued and much more to being able to work everyday and still have energy to play with my boys. It's is so refreshing to have found people that genuinely want to find the root cause of the problem rather than just treat the symptoms.

Jabe's investigative skills are complimented by his ability to really listen.and to relay info in language that I understood! He was able to uncover things for me that most doctors wouldn't have the knowledge or resources to even consider.

Bee has been invaluable for me! She has a genuine kindness and ability to simplify tasks so they are achievable and even empowering. Bee went out of her way to contact me when I was struggling which helped me tremendously.

To anyone feeling lost or stuck in their health journey, these guys are gold! They have changed my life for the better and I am so grateful. Thanks so much Jabe and Bee ️

After hearing a fair amount about functional medicine for many years, I approached MFM as I was battling with some abdominal pain that the GP and gut specialists could not identify or solve. It was a burning sensation that, whilst was not overly painful, was significant enough to cause concern and desire to get it rectified.

Working with Jabe and Bee has been absolutely fantastic. Not only did we identify (through some very thorough testing) the cause of the pain but were also able to illuminate it with the use of some great supplement’s.

What sets MFM apart is the level of professionalism and really a deep desire to get to the core root of the discomfort and rectify it. They are also extremely aware of the psychological, emotional and environmental impacts can have on your health and make you aware of them. They are extremely supportive, and you always get the feeling that your positive health outcomes are their driving factors - your success is their success, effectively.

I would absolutely recommend MFM to anyone who is not getting the health outcomes that they want from their usual channels. It is a financial investment, but I feel that you get what you pay for and if you don't have your health, the rest of life is impacted too.something I am realising as I get older!

Thanks again, Jabe and Bee.

I am relatively new to mfm but WOW. I am blown away with the level of care, support and genuine interest in my health and the struggles I've been facing for a very long time. For the first time ever, I feel like my concerns are being heard, acknowledged and acted on. I feel like I matter and that I'm not crazy or being irrational in having the concerns I have had regarding my health. Rebecca has been extreamly thorough in obtaining alot of information and developing an actual plan to investigate and address multiple complex issues I have. Now, complex is an understatement. I have many many health problems and they are very complicated, I really do feel that even though I've been dismissed by many doctors and specialists mfm is working hard to find the causes and not just cover up symptoms but rather address the actual problems. Char has been a phenomenal support. Our phone chats and messaging has been outstanding. I have recieved a level of care from char that I have never encountered before. She is genuinely caring and just wants to help in any way she can. To be frank talking with char has had a bigger impact on me than seeing a psychologist! Char is easy to speak openly with and is always able to bring some positivity to the table when you need it most. I can not thank mfm enough. I am so excited to carry out this journey with the team and look forward to a happier, healthier me!

I highly recommend this clinic. The last six months working with Rebecca, Be and the team have been priceless. The knowledge held by these practitioners is broad, up to date and easily applied to everyday life with their guidance. The set up that includes a support coach helped a lot! It keeps you motivated and on the path toward gaining the outcome you want. Diet, environmental influences, emotional concerns, hormones, genetic factors and anything else that comes along with life can be addressed in this holistic integrative program. No stone unturned in differential diagnosis which results in an outcome worth working towards. Life is to short and moments to precious to be feeling terrible, so do yourself a favour and give them a call. I'm so grateful to have been pointed in their direction.

Jabe and his team aren't just good, they're Next-Level good. A deeply passionate and caring naturopath and functional medicine expert with a vast breadth and depth of knowledge to back it up. If you're bloated, not absorbing nutrients properly, have skin problems, can't sleep, or have anything out of whack in your body and you want a natural remedy - he's your man. You will not get better results through anyone else.

His support team add an entirely new dimension to health care as well. The health coach is an absolute diamond, so supportive and encouraging. Their administrator is nothing but helpful.

This is the A-Team in holistic health care and they are well worth every cent.

Such a life-changing experience with Jabe and his Team!

Honestly, I wouldn't believe if anyone told me that in 3 months I'll be able to overcome, understand and solve most of my health issues (both physical and psychological), that I've been living with for many years.

It actually feels like there was a magic switch, when I've decided to try Functional Medicine after reading "UltraMind Solution" book. By that time I was always stressed in the "fight" mode, couldn't gain any weight for almost 5 years (was stuck on 60kgs and felt underweight), was suffering intrusive thoughts in couple with severe depression and didn't see any way out of it.

Since then (May, 2020) - I've understood my Empath nature, learned how to "survive" (or thrive.) as an over-sensitive creature, accepted and believed in myself fully, gained 10kgs (and feeling amazing in my new weight), optimized my nutrition and supplements.

The most "magical" is that after I've made the decision to improve dramatically - right events are literally appearing on the way. Seriously - it's like a switch, turning the life into the new, wonderful direction.

The price seemed a bit heavy (that was the main concern) - but it is completely worth it.

Thank you so much, guys!

I was diagnosed with a lifelong autoimmune condition late last year and was absolutely devastated as I wasn't sure how it would affect my athletic pursuit and everyday life going forward. I needed to see the best in health and wellness and a good friend recommended me to Melbourne Functional Medicine. That is when I met Jabe and Bee. Jabe was so generous, allowing me to have phone call conversations setting out a game plan before I even locked in and paid for the 6 month journey and Bee was always so friendly and so helpful whenever I needed her help. When I first went to Melbourne Functional Medicine, my initial consultation was 4 hours. Jabe and I went in depth into my personal life and tackled a lot of issues that could be impacting on my health and thus, causing health problems. I left with so much clarity and purpose. I was driven to change things around. I stayed quite disciplined with what he told me and immediately saw changes to my health. Whenever I was slipping up, physically, emotionally or mentally, I could lean on Bee for a helping hand which was awesome and much needed. Now that our 6 months is up and we have had many consultations, I am feeling more confident with my health going forward. I believe I will pursue my athletic dreams fully still and live a happy, productive, normal life. I cannot thank Jabe, Bee and Courtney enough! And I cannot speak more highly of their efforts. Please give them a go if you are trying to improve your health/wellbeing. You will not regret it. 10/10.

Rebecca and Char are an amazing team! From our first introductory phone calls, to now (4 months down the track!), they have both been nothing short of stunning. Rebecca has been an expert sleuth in tracking down the causes of where my health was and how I got there. She also literally drew me a diagram linking everything together as well as remembering to explain in layman's terms her detective work. And then she provided a very human (doable) plan for working my way back to balance. Char has been just the perfect coach and her weekly calls have been more than welcome and exceptionally fun, funny and absolutely useful. Char's information and suggestions have all been on point and honed for my particular situation - she's an exceptionally excellent listener! Her genuine enjoyment of our weekly calls demonstrates her authenticity and ability to connect with people. I will miss our weekly conversations once I'm back on track and going solo! I could not recommend these two wonderful people more highly. They are both professional and holistic practitioners of their vocations and it is obvious that they love what they do.

When I first started my health journey with Rebecca and Char at MFM six months ago, I thought I would never be able to overcome my chronic health issues and live a normal, active life again. I was wrong. These ladies and this team are absolutely fantastic and so dedicated to getting the best results for their clients. Rebecca is an excellent practitioner who was able to not only find the many reasons and causes of my health issues but also to successfully treat them. Char is an amazing health coach and I just cannot speak of her highly enough! The support she has provided has been far above and beyond anything I ever expected and I would not be where I am today without this incredible duo. They have listened to my concerns and challenges and helped me overcome them every step of the way. I would recommend Rebecca and Char to anyone who is struggling to get to the bottom of their health issues, you will not regret it!
