Root-Cause Medicine
Moving beyond symptom management to identify and address the underlying biological drivers of chronic disease.
A Different Paradigm
Functional medicine is a systems-based approach to healthcare that seeks to identify and address the root causes of disease, rather than simply managing symptoms. It recognises that the body is an interconnected system, and that symptoms in one area often reflect dysfunction in another.
Where conventional medicine asks “What disease do you have?”, functional medicine asks “Why do you have this disease?” – and then works systematically to address those underlying causes through personalised, evidence-informed interventions.
At Precision Healthcare Solutions, Dr. Paraze uses advanced diagnostics – far beyond standard bloodwork – to build a comprehensive picture of your biology, and then designs a personalised protocol targeting your specific root causes.

The Process
A detailed history, lifestyle review, and advanced diagnostics – including comprehensive bloodwork, micronutrient testing, hormone panels, gut analysis, and SNP genetic testing – to build a complete biological picture.
Analysis of all findings to identify the underlying biological drivers of your symptoms – whether nutritional deficiency, hormonal imbalance, gut dysbiosis, toxic burden, or genetic variants.
A bespoke treatment plan addressing your specific root causes – combining dietary interventions, targeted supplementation, IV therapy, hormone optimisation, and lifestyle medicine.
Regular follow-up testing and protocol refinement to track measurable improvements and ensure your biology continues to move towards optimal function.
Conditions We Address
These conditions are often poorly served by conventional medicine – but respond well to root-cause investigation and personalised functional medicine protocols.
Identifying mitochondrial dysfunction, adrenal fatigue, viral triggers, and nutritional deficiencies.
Addressing neuroinflammation, gut-brain axis dysfunction, sleep disorders, and hormonal imbalance.
Gut permeability, molecular mimicry, immune dysregulation, and environmental trigger identification.
Comprehensive microbiome analysis and targeted restoration protocols.
Adrenal fatigue, cortisol dysregulation, and stress response optimisation.
Comprehensive hormone panels and bio-identical hormone replacement therapy.
Metabolic testing, dietary protocols, and peptide therapy for metabolic restoration.
Immune rebalancing, neurological support, and mitochondrial repair protocols.
Telomere health, oxidative stress, and anti-aging medicine using SNP-guided protocols.
Identifying and addressing the root drivers of systemic inflammation.
Neuroinflammation, gut-brain axis, toxicity, and nutritional deficiency assessment.
Metabolic dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, and peptide-based weight management.
