Functional Health Canberra’s Game Changing Approach
By Melissa Kovacevic
As the Founder of Functional Health Canberra, I am an accredited Functional Nutrition Consultant and a Clinical EFT Practitioner (Emotional Freedom Techniques). EFT is a powerful stress management tool sometimes referred to as “tapping” or emotional acupuncture without needles.
My mission is to educate and inspire others to live an optimal healthy life. I am not about fads, low calorie or restrictive diets but believe in nourishing our body with delicious nutrient-dense whole foods.
My previous studies taught me the fundamentals of nutrition, and then when I studied with the Nutrition Academy I was able to gain a broader appreciation of health. I was taught the latest breakthroughs in epigenetics, functional testing and gut health and guided by the philosophy of vitalism and concepts of giving our body the right tools, from nature to heal and thrive. I have carried this philosophy with me into my own life and business.
Incorporating EFT with nutrition has been a gamechanger for me personally; and for my clients. More often than not, I was finding the resistance most clients face when it came to health, was due to self-limiting beliefs and negative patterns of behaviour.
EFT helps my clients get past these beliefs. Sometimes we have fears that remain in our subconscious minds and EFT may help let go of the emotions surrounding certain experiences, allowing our body to heal. It has helped my clients resolve a range of issues including workplace stress and anxiety, food cravings and emotional eating patterns as well as improving athletic performance.
When it comes to emotional eating, sometimes we have emotional anchors linking eating to positive feelings, or we eat to shut down feelings altogether. EFT is proven to reduce stress in the body by at least 24% and gives you a safe way to feel your emotions and break unhelpful behaviours.
I have found EFT to be a phenomenal tool, when combined with Functional Nutrition really helps my clients achieve their Functional Health Goals.

If motivation has never worked for you in the past, it`s because your motivation hasn`t transformed into intrinsic movement in your life. If you want to welcome a change into your life, scaffold it to the structure you`ve already created. And remember to be patient and keep trying.
Metabolism isn`t a mysterious process that happens in the body, where you wish it would go faster, or maybe go slower. We can follow the physical processes that happen in the body to create the metabolic effect through metabolimics!

After recording this, Cyndi said "the sunglasses thing will really get them!". Did this video change your perspective on the sun, sun protection and tanning in summer?
This short clip is from a video years ago where Cyndi was talking about skin care, and an interesting perspective many of us may not have thought about. What products do you wash into the waterways going swimming, showering, cleaning your house and washing your dishes?
Although we can`t be there, we are super excited to be sponsoring Nourishing Australia`s Summit on November 1st in Sydney. If you can get to Sydney on Saturday 1st November, use code Cyndi20 to get 20% off ticket prices and have your questions answered! Purchase your tickets via Humanitix or via the link in our bio!
Getting older doesn`t mean getting weaker, sicker, more tired or less independent: how you treat your body NOW will impact how you feel as you age. Don`t wait for the symptoms of old age to catch you before taking care of your health, start today!
As Cyndi has said in a reel before, it is wrong to think of yourself as separate from the world and separate from each component of yourself. The phytochemicals found in plants helps protect the human body from disease, inflammation and illness. How amazing is the system we`re a part of?
Slow and steady wins the race when it comes to your health!
Even when the dietary guidelines tell you something, corporations will still act in pursuit of profit and nothing else. If you are feeding your baby formula, make sure you`re taking the time to read the ingredients and find an option that works for you.
