Dr Lanelle Dunn
Naturopathic Physician/Anthroposophical Physician
"I started my practice in natural medicine as a primary health care practitioner with an evidence-based approach. My journey started at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) in Toronto, followed by a five year Post Graduate Medical Training (IPMT) in India, and a four-year training in the UK. I have been practising medicine now for 20 years, 8 of these in Dubai.
An evidence-based approach allows us, through science, to have a thorough understanding of the pharmacology of medicine and the physiology and functionality of the human body.
The first half of my career, I had a practice that was focused on weight-loss, hormones, and paediatrics. Almost 20 years later I am still doing hormones, as well as gut health, the treatment of autism, mental health, and autoimmune disorders. I am becoming an expert in CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory response syndrome), which is the most challenging thing to treat as a natural physician. After practicing for all these years, I have come to understand healing in a much deeper way.
As a functional and naturopathic doctor, I work a lot on chronic illness, which always has a connection with the nervous system. I learnt over the years, that chronic illness has to do with our thinking and feeling. Your nervous system- this is the most important thing I’ve learned in my life and my practice- is a receptor. For every thought and feeling you’ve ever had, it produces reactions down your spine. Peptides and chemicals cause your physiological responses, which cause certain hormones and patterns to be made in your nervous system which then manifest into clinical symptoms, disharmony, and/or disbalance. That means, if you always tell yourself “I’m never good enough” that’s the belief that starts running the human body and your body becomes a manifestation of that. As you get older, you become more of that manifestation. Your consciousness produces diseases and illnesses and I’ve gotten to the place where I experience much more of a profound change when I focus more on the inner human."
