You’ll build the knowledge, confidence, and skills needed to take ownership of your health — now and into the future.
  • What is Autonomy?
    Autonomy is a personalised health transformation clinic combining advanced testing, functional medicine, and medically-led coaching. We uncover the root causes of your health concerns and create a tailored plan to change them. No guesswork, no quick fixes—just clear insight, real support, and lasting transformation built around your life.
  • Who is Autonomy designed for?
    Autonomy is designed for people who are ready to take control of their health—intelligently, proactively, and with purpose. It’s for those who: · Feel something’s off, even if their tests say they’re “normal” · Want more than quick fixes or symptom management · Are curious, committed, and willing to do the work · Want clarity—not overwhelm—in a system that often feels rushed or dismissive · Are navigating midlife shifts like burnout, weight changes, or menopause · Are high-performing but feel like their health is holding them back · Want to prevent, reverse, or delay chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or cognitive decline · Are tired of starting over and ready to build something that lasts Whether you’ve tried everything and nothing’s worked—or you’re just starting to question the standard model—Autonomy gives you a new path: one grounded in precision medicine, deep insight, and real partnership.
  • How does Autonomy differ from other traditional health programs?
    Unlike traditional health programs, Autonomy integrates doctor-led care with habit science to address root causes, not just symptoms. It’s highly personalised, data-driven, and focused on long-term results.
  • What is Functional Medicine 3.0?
    Functional medicine 3.0 is a personalised, systems-oriented approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease rather than just treating symptoms. It combines aspects of conventional medicine with holistic practices, considering the whole person — including lifestyle, genetics, environment, and physiology.
