Root Cause Analysis
7 Root Causes We Investigate
Hormonal Imbalance
Thyroid, cortisol, insulin, and reproductive hormones evaluated as an interconnected system.
Gut Dysfunction
Microbiome diversity, intestinal permeability, and digestive enzyme function analysed in depth.
Inflammation
Systemic and local inflammatory markers tracked to identify hidden chronic triggers.
Metabolic Dysfunction
Blood sugar regulation, lipid metabolism, and cellular energy production assessed holistically.
Chronic Stress
HPA axis dysregulation, cortisol rhythm disruption, and nervous system overload addressed.
Nutrient Deficiencies
Vitamins, minerals, and cofactors measured at the cellular level, not just serum.
Toxins
Heavy metals, environmental chemicals, and mycotoxins tested and targeted for elimination.
What We Treat
Conditions We Address
Thyroid
Hypothyroid, hyperthyroid, Hashimoto's, and autoimmune thyroid conditions.

Gut Microbiome Analysis
DNA-based mapping of your gut bacteria to identify dysbiosis, pathogens, and opportunities for restoration.
Hormone Mapping
Full cortisol curve, thyroid panel with antibodies, sex hormones, and DUTCH testing for a complete endocrine picture.
Toxicity & Inflammation Markers
Heavy metal screening, mycotoxin panels, hs-CRP, homocysteine, and oxidative stress markers for hidden triggers.
Treatment Modalities
Advanced Therapies
IV Nutritional Therapy
Targeted intravenous blends including NAC, Glutathione, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, and Levocarnitine for rapid cellular restoration.
Ozone Therapy
Medical-grade ozone administered to stimulate oxygen metabolism, modulate immunity, and accelerate tissue repair.

Personalised Therapeutic Diet
Clinically designed anti-inflammatory meal plans calibrated to your diagnostic results, allergies, and metabolic profile.
Ayurvedic Detox (Panchakarma)
Traditional five-step purification under Ayurvedic physician supervision — complementary to functional medicine protocols.
Stress & HPA Axis Rehabilitation
Chronotherapy, adaptogenic protocols, breathwork, and nervous system regulation to restore cortisol rhythm.

Recovery Stories
Real patients. Real results.
“I was on thyroid medication for eight years with no improvement. After three months of functional medicine at Tigris Valley, my TSH normalised and my endocrinologist reduced my dosage by half. I finally feel like myself again.”
“My HbA1c dropped from 9.2 to 6.4 in five months. The team did not just put me on a diet — they found the root cause was gut inflammation and nutrient deficiencies. I am off two of my three diabetes medications now.”
“After years of irregular cycles and being told PCOS is something I just have to live with, the functional medicine team identified my insulin resistance and gut dysbiosis. Four months later, my cycles are regular and I have lost 8 kg naturally.”
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Functional Medicine is evidence-based and conducted by licensed physicians. All diagnostics use accredited labs, and every protocol is reviewed by our medical team. It complements — rather than replaces — necessary conventional care.
Not immediately. Our approach is collaborative. We work alongside your existing physicians and aim to reduce medication dependency over time as your underlying health improves. Any medication changes are supervised by our doctors.
Most patients notice improvements in energy, sleep, and digestion within 4-6 weeks. Significant lab marker improvements typically appear within 3-6 months, depending on the condition and how long you have had it.
Absolutely. We offer comprehensive teleconsultations where our functional medicine physician reviews your history, orders appropriate lab tests through a partner lab near you, and begins your protocol remotely. In-residence stays are recommended but not mandatory.
We specialise in chronic and lifestyle-related conditions: thyroid disorders, type 2 diabetes, PCOS, gut disorders (IBS, SIBO, leaky gut), autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue, skin issues, hormonal imbalances, and unexplained inflammation. If you are unsure, book a free assessment call.
