Dr Anne Chappel, BSC HONS, MBBCH, FAARM, ABAARM
Functional Medicine Doctor. Focused on improving quality of life through a balanced, personalised approach
Dr Chappel has always had an interest in nutrition and Integrative Medicine. Hippoctrates, considered to be the father of modern medicine, said "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food" This showed his belief that eating good food was the basis for good health. Dr Chappel has held to this belief and bases her treatment strategies around it. She has worked in family medicine and also in the field of allergies and food sensitivities. She then began focusing on metabolic and functional medicine, working to enhance her patient's metabolic functionality, whilst she engaged in further studies in these areas. Dr Anne has always been a pioneer, and was in the first group of doctors trained by Dr Bredesen at the Buck Research Institute in the Recode Protocol, amongst the first doctors to become ProdromeScan certified, and was personally trained by Dr Walsh. She cofounded Evergreen Doctors with her son.

Your Health is in Your Hands
Small consistent changes in our habits can work miraculous change in our health and well being. As such, Dr Chappel considers biochemical individuality and everything that impacts on it to provide an anti-inflammatory treatment approach, after comprehensive review of blood and pathology markers of ill health. Her analysis will also provide insights and strategies for ongoing management and prevention of possible future conditions.
Dr Chappel's passion is to provide personalised, individualised, integrated health care
Being healthy is more than the absence of disease. Treatment is aimed at increasing quality of life and may therefore include special attention to areas such as hormone balance, diet and nutrition, lifestyle factors and of course, early detection and prevention or minimisation of degenerative disease. It also includes maintenance of cognitive function and attention to epigenetics. In this way Dr Chappel seeks to provide a comprehensive balanced approach to enhancing well-being and providing total personalised health care.
Maximising Health and Wellness for Every Individual
This involves so much more than taking a drug for the rest of one's life. We are all different and therefore we all need a personalised approach that looks at factors affecting us including family history, current issues, diet and lifestyle, stress, sleep, medications, life satisfaction, and much more.
Addressing WHY and HOW disease develops in each individual
Dr Chappel focuses on the biochemically unique aspects of each individual and then tailors a personalised intervention to restore physiological and structural balance. This includes assessment of environmental inputs as well as the genetic predispositions that influence health and disease so that health plans are focused on treating the underlying cause of the problem rather than masking the symptoms. Dr Chappel is also trained in Pfeiffer-Walsh Protocol which can be used to address a variety of mental health issues, and the Bredesen Protocol which may improve cognition and reverse cognitive decline. Dr Chappel was traditionally trained but has always been interested in nutrition and lifestyle, and has gone on to attain fellowship with the American Academy of Nutritional and Metabolic Medicine (A4M).
