Dr Bernadette - Your Empowering Functional G.P.

Dr Bernadette - Your Empowering Functional G.P. I want to empower people, to maintain good health and live happy vibrant lives. It is based on symptom treatment rather than finding the root cause.

I believe in the power of the body to heal by empowering people to understand that we are not just a physical being but a thinking , feeling/emotional and a spiritual being working not in isolation but in constant communication with each other. I want to inspire aspiring young health workers and doctors to train in Functional Medicine. I am committed to the vision of Functional Medicine becoming

mainstream and becoming part of the medical curriculum. People are getting sicker and the current medical system has failed to curtail chronic degenerative diseases. It looks at the body as separate organ systems rather than an integrated whole that work together in harmony.Treatments are mainly pharmaceuticals rather than a holistic mind, body and spirit approach. I believe in nutritional medicine, the gut brain connection, the influence of environment and lifestyle in our health. I believe that Functional Medicine holds the key to empowering everyone to heal themselves!

Attending the MINDD 3 day training at Randwick from April 30-May 2, 2026 has been mind blowing for me.

The theme of the training was A Functional Approach to Brain and Mental Health & the speakers I was most amazed at was Dr Robert Mellilo.

He explained that the problems with rising epidemic of Autism, ADHD, Tics, OCD and mental illnesses is a functional disconnectivity of the brain circuitry and he has pinpointed specific anatomical and physiological areas of the brain that are not developed or are overdeveloped. He speaks of a right brain or left brain dominance and underdevelopment . There is a delayed development of the brain due to the presence of primitive reflexes impeding brain development.

By identifying the areas of the brain that is affected and the mechanisms that bring them so, which is backed by his own researches over 25 yrs and shaking the world by his pioneering work ,He has helped helped over 50,000 kids with autism and ADHD thru his BRAIN BALANCE centres in the USA where his Mellilo Method is applied .

He is not only a neurologist with a PhD and a prolific author of 8 books ,
but what drove him more personally to do his work is that he is the father of 3 kids affected by autism and ADHD .

He wanted to know what exactly is happening in the brains of his kids and how can he helped them!
I came out of the conference humbled at what I did not know, but equally thrilled that there actually are a lot more HOPE for recovery and more modalities to help the brains of kids and people with these conditions recover!!!

For parents of these kids, there is hope for you!
Take hold of the book, Disconnected Kids by Dr Robert Mellilo. He has a podcasts too.

A big shout out to MINDD , a not for profit organisation that supports integrative and holistic practitioners and families of kids with autism & ADHD and other mental conditions . Check them
on their website!

I shall share more insights with you another time.
Meanwhile, smile… there is hope out there!
