I’m Dr. Steve Resic and I’ve been practicing in healthcare for the past 10 years and I have qualifications in Osteopathy, functional medicine and nutrition.
The inspiration for Western Functional Medicine stems from my personal journey towards healing. After experiencing anxiety, depression, gut issues, autoimmune skin conditions, and musculoskeletal pain, I sought solutions through western medicine, including antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, cortisone creams, and antidepressants. While these treatments provided temporary relief, the symptoms always returned once the medication was discontinued. This led me on a decade-long quest to understand the root cause of my health issues and the interconnectedness of the body’s systems in creating overall health
Throughout my journey, I discovered the crucial role of the gut microbiome – the microorganisms that live in the digestive tract – in influencing digestion, gut health, gene expression, mood, immunity, skin, and more. The gut microbiome is estimated to be responsible for up to 70% of the immune system’s overall activity. An imbalance in the gut microbiome has been associated with a weakened immune system, making the body more susceptible to illness and disease. This realization cemented my belief that what we eat plays a vital role in our health.
In my free time, I enjoy pursuing my passions such as skateboarding, rock climbing, traveling, reading, and listening to podcasts.
