About Us

Our founder Edelle O’Doherty established Knowledge4Health to provide a service to those who were finding no answers in the mainstream medical system and were seeking additional support. Having lost her mother and husband to cancer and having a brother with a traumatic brain injury, her drive is to turn the current medical model on it’s axis and through Functional Medicine prevent the onset of chronic disease and mental health symptoms, with a whole person, holistic approach.

Edelle is trained in Functional Medicine with the Institute for Functional Medicine, is a Registered Nutritional Therapist, and also holds a postgraduate diploma in Statistics and a degree in Chemistry from Trinity College, Dublin

Her special areas of interest are epigenetics, microbiome health, metabolic health, and toxicity and how they influence the development of chronic illness, but especially how they influence the brain and brain health.

She has trained with Prof. Dale Bredesen in the Bredesen Protocol for the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease and has completed ‘Mastering Brain Chemistry’ training with Dr. William Walsh at the Walsh Research Institute.

Edelle is currently training with Dr. Gabor Maté in Compassionate Inquiry, a psychotherapeutic approach which enables the client to recognise the unconscious dynamics that run their lives and how to liberate themselves from them

Our philosophy

Functional Medicine practitioners are experts in supporting those with various health conditions from brain health concerns, to chronic digestive conditions, skin concerns, allergies and autoimmune diseases. We work to bring your body back to balance through a number of modalities including nutrition, targeted supplementation, lifestyle changes and compassion for the psychological and autonomic root causes of illness.

Knowledge4Health provides highly qualified practitioners who practice an evidence-based approach using a Functional Medicine based model. We look at the whole person and not just a set of symptoms. We take into account everything that may be affecting your past, current and future health including genetics, lifestyle, nutrition, hidden infections, environment, thought processes, trauma, relationships, connection, and community. Whether you are struggling with a current health issue or looking to optimise your health and future-proof it, we will deliver a programme specific to you.

Prevention of disease is one of the driving factors behind the establishment of Knowledge4Health and we provide exceptional support for those who wish to be proactive about their future health.

How we work with clients

 

Our Initial Consultation lasts 1 hour and 15 minutes, where we listen and gather information which we use to create a timeline and matrix of your life. We take our time to consider all the areas of your health history to allow us to understand YOUR STORY and connect relevant antecedents (family history, genetics etc.), triggers (infections, surgeries, life events, etc.), and mediators of your health (stress, nutrition, sleep deprivation, isolation, etc.).

Our goal is to identify the very beginning of the development of your symptoms and what conditions allowed it to further develop.

We use cutting edge diagnostic lab tests that offer a deeper understanding of how your different bodily systems are functioning and interacting with each other.

Your progress is monitored at follow up consultations and your programme reviewed and updated. The number of follow up consultations required depends on your health concerns and the level of change required. Most clients see us for an initial consultation and 2-3 follow ups over a period of 4-6 months. Clients often return 6 monthly or annually for progress reviews.

 

The Therapeutic Partnership

Although Functional Medicine is a relatively new concept in Ireland, its basis and foundation in holistic therapy has been used for decades, if not centuries. It addresses the underlying causes of disease using a system-oriented approach and engaging both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership.

We use a combination of nutrition approaches, targeted supplementation, lifestyle changes and talking therapy to support your body’s innate ability to restore health and balance.

We provide continued support to empower you to be in control of your own health.

Happy customers

“Thank you sincerely for the very informative presentation you delivered yesterday. Quite a few of the staff stopped me in the corridor to say how much they got out of it. They also remarked that the in-depth but understandable knowledge that you imparted, made them stop and think about positive changes they could make.”

“As both my parents were diagnosed with Dementia a few years ago, I felt this was a course I had to attend. Having read Dr Dale Bredesen’s Book The End of Alzheimer’s, Edelle presented the course in simple terms which meant that it was easy to comprehend and follow. Reversing cognitive decline is not a myth it’s a reality. By following her notes and getting the answers to the questions that I’ve wanted, she has given me a simple template to adhere to, in managing my Physical, Mental, Psychological ,Gut and Nutritional Health as well as my sleep, ensuring that the chances of me contracting this illness have reduced significantly.”
Ray Attendee Brain Health Programme
“I have recommended the programme, not only to friends and family, but also to clients. I got so much personally out of attending the course, expert researched knowledge (eg. nutrition, inflammation and chronic illness, brain stimulation, stress reduction etc.), as well as the tools to attain lifestyle changes for optimising brain health. I revisit the course notes from time to time, to motivate myself to get back on the road to living a healthier life.”

“Very engaging presentations from Edelle and Gemma who gave our DLR Chamber members ways and means to boost productivity with inspiring food recipes to keep us healthy and thus focused!”
Gabby MallonChief Executive, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Chamber
Edelle was one of the speakers at our 2019 conference on Nutrigenomics with Keynote Speaker Dr Jeffrey Bland. Edelle spoke on genetics in Alzheimer’s disease and her expertise and clinical experience were evident throughout. The talk was incredibly well received by an audience including members of the general public, a variety of healthcare professionals, consultants and research scientists. Edelle is a very engaging speaker and is able to make complex concepts understandable for her audience, whilst ensuring her material is evidence based throughout. Her talk also included plenty of practical clinical elements for the healthcare professionals. It was a pleasure to work with Edelle, she was incredibly professional and amenable to our needs, helping ensuring the conference was a great success. I would not hesitate to invite her speak again
Suzanne LaurieIHS Director and Conference Owner
Best presentation I have ever seen in IN. A high level scientist with clear explanations on the chemical / biochemical / neurological / metabolic etc. Explaining nutrition and its benefit / consequences. Many thanks for bringing the necessary science to the nutrition, as we are confronted with too many "nutritionists" lately. Chapeau!

Powerful presentation and hosted superbly by Carmen. I would highly recommend for those who did not attend to ask for the recording. Slides were very clear and professional. 5 star event, easy to digest
Anthony AAttendee Brain Health 101

MariaAttendee Brain Health 101
One of the best presentations I have attended. Incredible job Edelle. Thank you very much indeed.
RudigerAttendee Brain Health 101
I found Edelle at Knowledge 4 Health super informed with a deep knowledge of my symptoms and health issues. I’ve been dealing with my GP and Hospital over the last few months trying to get to the source of my symptoms, while I have no problem with the medical industry, I however sometimes feel that they want the quickest fix, for example a pill rather then to find the source of the problem and start to work on correcting the problem from the base rather than suppressing. “ I believe in quenching the fire, rather than opening the windows” If you want to get to your best health I highly recommend Edelle.
Julie AnnClinic Client

Michelle KellyPharma Nord Ireland
