Integrative Medicine is all about your lifestyle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here at The Maas Clinic we help our clients to make lifestyle choices which are aligned with their optimal health and wellness goals.<\/p>\n

Integrative Medicine is, as Laurens Maas shares, based on: nutrition, fitness, behaviour and lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Through the tests we run in the functional aspect of our clinic, we are able to develop a lifestyle plan which will help you to become the healthiest version of you possible, for now and for the future.<\/p>\n

We look at your nutrition, your sleep, fitness, behaviour, supplements and more, to make sure that every day is aligned with your long-term health goals.<\/p>\n

Integrative Medicine works hand in hand with Functional Medicine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Functional and Integrative Medicine are great friends. Through a combination of the two we create treatment plans which transform our clients\u2019 health for the better.<\/p>\n

The functional element is all about testing; we gather scientific data on your unique biochemistry.<\/p>\n

The integrative element takes in to account the lifestyle choices you make, and how they impact your health.<\/p>\n

We combine information from both aspects to give us a 360 degree picture of your health, so that we can develop a thorough treatment plan for you.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s exactly where we want you to be!<\/p>\n
