FUNCTIONAL AND INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE · PAIN CARE
Finally understand what may be behind your symptoms.
Medical tests do not always show anything abnormal, even though you can feel that something is not right.
At Centre Algos, we look at the systems that interact in your body: digestion, hormones, energy metabolism, the immune system, nutrition and nervous system balance. We combine functional medicine, naturopathy, laboratory testing and integrative pain care to look for the factors contributing to your symptoms and build a personalised plan that fits your body and your life.

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
“We can’t find anything,” yet every day you feel that something is not right.
Many people who come to Centre Algos already have a long medical journey behind them. Along the way, they have sometimes been told:
- “Your test results are all normal.”
- “You’ll have to learn to live with it.”
- “It’s probably all in your head.”
Conventional medicine is essential for making a diagnosis and treating acute conditions. But test results within the reference range do not always explain all of your symptoms.
We complement this approach with a functional assessment that takes into account digestion, hormones, energy metabolism, immunity, nutrition and nervous system balance. Targeted laboratory tests can provide additional information to help us better understand your situation.
Concerns we regularly help with:
- Persistent fatigue, exhaustion and lack of energy with no obvious cause.
- Brain fog, difficulty concentrating and mood changes.
- Digestive problems, bloating, food intolerances and skin problems.
- Hormonal imbalances, perimenopause, menopause and sleep problems.
- Persistent symptoms after an infection, including after COVID-19.
- Autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, as part of complementary care.
- Chronic pain, back pain, osteoarthritis and neuropathic pain.
- Tendinopathies, sports injuries and difficult physical recovery.
- The feeling that something is not right despite reassuring medical results.

Discover our approach and our practitionerWHAT WE TREAT
Disciplines and treatments
From laboratory testing to nutritional approaches, from functional medicine to specialised pain care techniques: we offer a range of therapeutic methods, chosen according to your body’s needs and your situation.
Functional Medicine
Fatigue, brain fog, digestive problems and hormonal imbalances are not always unrelated. These symptoms can be connected, even when standard medical tests show nothing abnormal.
Our approach. We look at all the factors that interact in your body: diet, microbiome, hormones, stress, energy metabolism and mitochondrial function. We look for underlying imbalances in order to build a personalised plan combining functional medicine, naturopathy and complementary approaches.
Concerns we often help with: chronic fatigue, digestive problems, ongoing stress, hormonal imbalances and autoimmune diseases.
Functional Laboratory Testing
Standard blood tests show whether your results fall within the reference range. But normal results do not always mean that every mechanism involved in your symptoms has been explored.
What we test
We use in-depth blood, urine, stool and saliva tests to explore, in particular:
- The gut microbiome and digestive flora.
- Vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
- Iron stores and ferritin.
- Thyroid function.
- Sex hormones and certain adrenal markers.
- Inflammatory markers.
- Energy metabolism and certain markers of mitochondrial function.
Our approach. We choose tests based on your symptoms, your history and any results already available. The information gathered helps us deepen the assessment and build a personalised treatment strategy.
Micronutrient and Orthomolecular Therapy
Deficiencies in vitamins, minerals or amino acids can contribute to persistent fatigue, neurological symptoms or other unexplained complaints. Taking supplements without a prior assessment may not meet your body’s actual needs.
Our method. We first assess your intake and, where relevant, your laboratory results. Based on this information, we build a targeted supplement programme, with nutrients chosen for your needs, in suitable forms and at individual doses.
Our aim. To support cellular function, correct the nutritional imbalances identified and encourage the body’s natural capacity to recover.
Nutrition and Lifestyle
Diet and lifestyle are the foundations of our approach. Without suitable nutrition, restorative sleep and appropriate physical activity, the benefits of other interventions may be limited.
Your personalised programme. We work in particular on regulating inflammation, insulin sensitivity, microbiome health, energy metabolism and weight management.
Depending on your needs, we can include different nutritional strategies: an anti-inflammatory diet, a low-FODMAP diet, a ketogenic approach or nutritional protocols adapted to autoimmune diseases.
The aim is to build practical, lasting habits that fit your daily life.
Hormonal Balance
Hormones influence many essential functions: energy, sleep, mood, weight, the menstrual cycle, libido and resilience to stress. Even relatively subtle changes can contribute to persistent symptoms.
What we test. Depending on the indication, investigations may include blood, urine or saliva tests covering:
- The cortisol rhythm.
- Thyroid function: TSH, free T3, free T4 and thyroid antibodies.
- Oestrogens and progesterone.
- Testosterone and DHEA.
- Insulin and certain metabolic markers.
Our approach. We combine nutrition, lifestyle changes, micronutrients and herbal medicine to support hormonal and metabolic balance, alongside any necessary medical follow-up.
Gut Microbiome and Digestive Health
A large part of the body’s immune activity is associated with the gut. The gut microbiome also plays a role in digestion, metabolism and the interactions between the gut, the immune system and the nervous system.
Disturbances of the microbiome may be associated with digestive problems, persistent fatigue, skin problems or certain inflammatory diseases.
What we look for. Depending on your symptoms, we may use stool tests and breath tests to explore, in particular:
- The composition of the gut microbiome and certain dysbioses.
- Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).
- Certain infections or fungal overgrowth, when testing is indicated.
- Markers of intestinal inflammation.
- Certain markers of intestinal barrier function.
Our approach. We build a personalised programme combining diet, targeted probiotics, micronutrients and herbal medicine, based on the results and the needs identified.
Herbal Medicine
Medicinal plants contain active substances that can be used in different therapeutic approaches. Their selection depends on the goals, the individual situation and any possible interactions with other treatments.
Our approach. We use medicinal plant preparations adapted to each patient’s needs, particularly for certain digestive problems, stressful situations, sleep difficulties or persistent discomfort.
Herbal medicine can be combined with nutrition, micronutrients and other interventions as part of personalised care.
Percutaneous Hydrotomy
Back pain, osteoarthritis, tendinopathies and disc problems can cause persistent pain, limit movement and affect quality of life.
Our approach. We combine an individual assessment with local treatments and integrative care aimed at relieving pain, improving mobility and supporting recovery.
Percutaneous hydrotomy. This mesoperfusion technique uses highly diluted therapeutic solutions, given locally by superficial injections. It aims to improve function and support tissue repair processes, including disc rehydration where relevant.
