Our Services
Functional medicine is a science-based, patient-centered approach that asks not just what disease you have, but why you have it. At the Givat Ze’ev clinic, Dr. Bakarmos examines the intricate web of connections between your nutrition, hormones, genetics, gut health, emotional patterns, and family history. This comprehensive view allows for a level of insight that standard medical appointments rarely provide. Every assessment draws on the latest research in genomics, epigenetics, and nutritional science, ensuring that the care you receive reflects decades of medical innovation rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol. The result is a deeply personalized understanding of your own biochemistry and a treatment plan built entirely around you.
Functional Medicine Givat Ze’ev is particularly valuable for people who have spent years seeking answers without finding lasting relief. Common presentations include chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, digestive disorders such as IBS and leaky gut, hormonal imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, adrenal fatigue, autoimmune conditions, systemic inflammation, and persistent pain. The clinic also welcomes individuals who are not currently ill but wish to optimize their health, prevent future disease, and understand their body at a deeper level. Because the practice is built on the principle of biochemical individuality, every person who walks through the door is treated as unique. There is no standard prescription here, only a thorough, evidence-based investigation into what your body specifically needs to heal and thrive.
The process begins with a free 15-minute introductory consultation to assess your situation and confirm that this approach is the right fit for you. If you move forward, Dr. Bakarmos conducts a comprehensive diagnostic assessment covering nutrition, hormones, vitamins, lifestyle, emotional patterns, and medical history. From this foundation, a personalized treatment plan is built that may incorporate acupuncture, iridology, shiatsu, kinesiology, nutritional counseling, NLP, EFT, and other integrative modalities. All of these techniques are available under one roof, which means your care is coordinated, consistent, and adaptive. As your health evolves, so does your plan. This is not a short-term fix but an ongoing partnership aimed at genuine, measurable improvement in your energy, lab results, and quality of life.
The most important differentiator here is the depth of investigation. Conventional medicine is built around managing diagnoses. Functional Medicine Givat Ze’ev is built around resolving them. Dr. Bakarmos brings together 40 years of hands-on holistic practice with cutting-edge knowledge in functional medicine, genomics, and nutritional research spanning more than 50 years of scientific development. Patients consistently report that they feel genuinely heard for the first time, that their symptoms are understood as connected signals rather than isolated problems, and that the treatment they receive reflects the full complexity of who they are. For those in the Givat Ze’ev and Jerusalem area looking for a practitioner who will go beyond surface-level care, this clinic represents a meaningful and trusted option. Root cause analysis is not just a philosophy here; it is the foundation of every patient interaction.

Yes. The functional medicine approach is adaptable across all age groups. Whether the patient is a child with recurring health issues or an adult managing a long-standing chronic condition, the diagnostic and treatment process is tailored to the individual’s specific biology, history, and needs.
Most specialists focus on a single organ system or diagnosis. At this clinic, the entire body is viewed as an interconnected system. Dr. Bakarmos looks at the relationships between your gut, hormones, immune system, nervous system, and emotional state together, not in isolation. This big-picture perspective often reveals patterns and root causes that individual specialists miss.
Results vary depending on the complexity of the condition and how long it has been present. Some patients notice meaningful improvements in energy and digestion within a few weeks of starting their personalized plan. Others with more complex or long-standing conditions may experience a more gradual progression. Dr. Bakarmos tracks progress through regular reassessments and adjusts the treatment plan accordingly to ensure ongoing improvement.
No referral is required. You can book the free 15-minute introductory consultation directly. If you have existing lab results or medical records, it is helpful to bring them, as they can provide useful background information. However, coming without prior documentation is absolutely fine. The comprehensive assessment conducted at the clinic will build a complete picture of your health from the ground up.
