About

Professional Integrative Medicine was founded by Dr Tim Hall in 2011, to provide personalised and effective care, especially for patients with complex and chronic conditions.

Our focus is always on you – you are a unique individual with a unique body, which needs unique and personalised care to thrive.

We treat you, not your symptoms

Conventional medicine works wonders. Billions of dollars are invested in developing drugs and treatments. Carefully controlled trials show that these help the majority of patients. That’s fantastic – but it’s not a perfect solution

You may be one of the minority who doesn’t respond to conventional treatment.
You may see positive results initially, but they don’t last over time.
Or perhaps you simply want an alternative to taking medication for the rest of your life.

Our approach is different. We focus on you, your deeper health needs, and the underlying causes of difficult and chronic conditions.

Symptoms are a sign that something is not functioning correctly in your body. Instead of simply managing your symptoms, we seek to understand and correct that root cause.

We ask why

Why is your blood pressure high?
Why is your body resisting the activity of insulin?
Why can’t you lose weight, despite hours on the treadmill and a diet of nothing but lettuce?
Why does your brain need chemicals to support its function? Is something missing which it needs to generate neurotransmitters naturally?
Why is your iron low even though you eat steak 3 times per week?
Why does your gut hurt when your colonoscopy results show nothing wrong?

The answer to the ‘Why?’ varies from person to person. So we need to know all about you and your body. We use your medical history; the results of any previous tests and investigations you’ve had, and further functional testing which we recommend.

Identifying root causes can be challenging, especially if multiple and overlapping factors are driving your symptoms. We can’t guarantee we’ll find the answers – but we will ask, and keep asking.

Fixing the underlying issue is the best way to support your health, energy and vitality.

Our core treatment principles

Our approach is based on two simple principles

GIVE your body what it needs
For example:

If you’re bleeding, you need more iron than someone who isn’t.
If your body struggles to absorb or process certain nutrients, you may need supplements or IV injections to get the volume you need

REMOVE what’s holding your body back
For example:

Something in your diet may be triggering your immune system, leading to increased overall sensitivity and chronic inflammation
You may be absorbing toxins such as environmental pollutants or heavy metals

Our initial consultation and our testing recommendations are designed to help identify how we can apply those principles for you.

We won’t re-invent the wheel, and prescribe something you’ve already tried, which didn’t work for you.

Instead, we want to find out more about your body and how it works. And we want to teach you everything we find out, so you can look after yourself better.

If we succeed, you won’t need to see doctors as often.

Who do we help?

We aim to help anyone who wants to take an informed, proactive approach to looking after their help.

Perhaps

you have a chronic or complex conditions where conventional medicine has not given relief
you’re healthy and you want to stay that way
your family has a significant history of illness and you want to reduce your risk of poor health

Or maybe your family and friends have suggested you should talk to us – a large proportion of our patients come from word-of-mouth. We’re proud that people trust us to look after the people they care about.

Whatever your situation, we’d love to help you achieve your health goals.
