Advanced, root-cause medicine for complex and chronic health conditions. I am Jarrod Cooper ND, a Naturopathic Doctor and Functional Medicine Practitioner with extensive experience managing complex, unresolved health cases.
Most patients I work with have already seen multiple practitioners, tried protocols, supplements, or medications, yet still lack clarity or sustained improvement. My role is not to guess or chase symptoms, but to:
This work requires time, data, and clinical oversight, which is why all care is delivered through program-based consultations, not single appointments.
The model
Functional medicine is not a single appointment or quick fix. It is a process. Your body did not reach its current state overnight, and meaningful, lasting change requires a structured, phased approach. For this reason, I work exclusively within program-based care, ensuring your case is properly assessed, implemented, and refined over time.
Most people seeking functional medicine have complex, multi-system issues that developed over years, not weeks. A single consultation rarely provides enough time or data to:
This is why I work exclusively within program-based care, so your case is assessed properly and not treated in isolation.
While every case is individual, most follow a similar hierarchical pattern:
Testing and treatment are prioritised based on what will move your case forward first, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Consultation packages
Explore the consultation options below to find the package that best suits your health goals.
A diagnostic and direction phase. This program is designed for patients who want their case assessed, clarified, and strategically mapped before committing to longer-term care. Over three months, we focus on understanding why your symptoms are occurring and implement a comprehensive treatment plan.
This is not a symptom-only or quick-fix consultation. This is a serious diagnostic and strategic case review designed to determine what your body actually needs next.
At the end of this program, one of three outcomes typically occurs:
If ongoing care is recommended, a $1,500 credit may be applied toward a 6 or 12 month program.
This program is designed for patients ready to move beyond assessment and into active implementation and healing.

This program is suited to complex, long-standing, or multi-system conditions that require sustained oversight and iterative refinement.

This program is available by invitation to patients who have completed a minimum of 12 months of care and wish to remain under long-term clinical oversight.
Case studies
Standard medicine calls them “idiopathic” or “incurable.” We call them unsolved. Here is what happens when you stop treating the diagnosis and start treating the system.
The diagnosis: Idiopathic hypersomnia. “We do not know why you are sleeping.”
The standard care: Stimulants for life.
The FMS outcome: “Completely changed my life.”
“I was diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia… which basically means ‘we don’t know why.’ I was about to go on medication to keep me awake. Jarrod found the underlying cause, parasites and gut dysfunction and imbalances with brain chemistry. Treating the cause changed everything.”
Molly
The diagnosis: Progressive interstitial lung disease.
The standard care: High-dose steroids to slow the inevitable decline.
The FMS outcome: Stabilised and medication-free.
“I was on high-dose steroids. I didn’t feel better; I felt worse. Through Jarrod’s process, I stabilized my condition to the point where I chose to stop taking the steroids. I haven’t been on them for quite some time. I got my life back.”
Maureen
The diagnosis: Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, and high blood pressure.
The standard care: “You will be on medication forever.”
The FMS outcome: 15kg lost and off blood pressure medication.
“My energy levels are dramatically increased. I’ve lost 15kg. My thyroid antibodies are trending down. And most importantly, my blood pressure dropped to a point where I stopped medication, and I’ve been off it ever since.”
Janelle
Most practitioners practice protocol-driven care. They wait for a diagnosis, then match it to a drug. It is designed to manage symptoms.
We practice capacity-driven care. We map the timeline, sequence the treatment upstream, and restore your body’s ability to heal itself.
Proof of process
Rather than relying on single anecdotes, my approach is built on repeatable clinical process.
Across cases, this typically includes:
This process allows us to move beyond guesswork and into measurable, data-informed care.
Outcomes
While results vary by individual, patients commonly report:
Testing is always personalised. Depending on your presentation, this may include:
Testing is recommended strategically, not excessively, and discussed during your consultation.
I work best with patients who:
This work is not suited to those seeking quick fixes or symptom-only care.
Apply
The application takes about five minutes. It is presented in three short steps so a long form never reads as a wall, and it tells me enough to judge whether program-based care is the right fit before we speak.
If you already know which program you want, book directly.
Please note: supplement costs and functional testing are not included in program fees.
Build note (deliberately deferred, tracked separately): the multi-step application form (Slot B of the package CTA) is not yet ported here. It needs to become a Gravity Forms form rather than a hand-rolled JS form, per the site’s “port 5 Gravity Forms” outstanding item, so it is not being rebuilt twice. Placeholder until that migration happens.
