Ahlaam Ali advocates for a holistic approach to medicine, emphasizing that every disease has a cure when viewed through the functional lens. Having dedicated years as a passionate nutritionist, Ali has now earned a prestigious degree in Functional Medicine, which she pursued for four years to deepen her understanding of the interplay between human anatomy and psychology. Amidst global stress and health challenges, functional medicine zeroes in on the underlying causes of what is termed as a state of Disease in the body.
Ali explains that Functional Medicine is universally applicable to any Dis-Ease in the body. She distinguishes between Dis-Ease and Disease, arguing that the former reflects a body out of balance due to lifestyle, dietary choices, and deficiencies in chemicals and nutrients. Recently, Ali was appointed to the scientific advisory board of Cellular Edge, an innovative AI-driven research and solution company. With a profound grasp of the human mind, Ali is committed to alleviating pain and suffering by addressing their root causes.
As a practitioner of Functional Medicine at Harley Street Wellbeing, a published author, and a nutritionist and weight loss consultant, Ali also specializes in hypnotherapy and gut health, practicing in London, Dubai, and internationally. She engages with clients individually, aiming to 'upgrade their biological software.' Ali posits that every ailment has a root cause, and unless addressed, the disease will persist in both mind and body. She believes in rejuvenating the body's chronological age through a blend of cutting-edge scientific and medical research with a fundamental approach.
Functional medicine incorporates Bio Hacking to enhance individuals' health spans, enabling them to remain active in later years. Ali observes a significant shift in UAE residents' awareness towards preventive medicine, emphasizing the importance of managing sleep patterns, brain health, gut microbiome, and overall wellbeing. She stresses the necessity of being mindful of daily habits and regularly evaluating their impact on health.
With her four-year degree, Ali adopts a Root Cause approach to Disease, identifying inflammation as the common denominator. By targeting inflammation, many diseases can be prevented and treated, a principle central to functional medicine. Ali collaborates with patients to develop personalized treatment and nutrition plans, fostering physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. She also collaborates with corporations to deliver workshops and training sessions aimed at enhancing individual and team performance.
