Founders

Built with Purpose

We created FunctionAlps with one mission : Help people rebuild their health by understanding their own biology and taking effective actions through personalised protocols.

Alessandra leads the clinical work, after fifteen years in microbiome and hormonal health and over five hundred clients walked through it.

Thomas brings the medical rigor, the system architecture, and a long-running passion for optimisation, innovation, and human performance.

What we share is a fascination with innovation, with the latest precision testing and tracking, and the conviction that every person deserves a protocol shaped by their own biology.

Health is shifting from reactive to proactive.

The science of biology is moving faster than the system can absorb.

The tools for real personalization finally exist, and we want them in everyone’s hands.

After a decade in European politics, I learned that real change comes from understanding what people actually need.

That same instinct led me into functional nutrition and microbiome health.

I kept meeting people stuck inside fifteen-minute appointments, cycling through doctors who couldn’t address root causes.

Today I work with clients on microbiome restoration and hormonal balance through the latest functional testing, personalised protocols, and the kind of ongoing partnership the standard system isn’t built to give.

The menopause nutrition counselling with Alex at Boddhi Clinic was truly a lifesaver. She gave me a clear and insightful understanding of what I need to support myself through perimenopause not just nutritionally, but from a broader lifestyle perspective. Her knowledge, combined with her calm and reassuring demeanour, made the experience incredibly valuable.

Alexandra est une super thérapeute, elle connaît hyper bien son sujet et est très professionnelle. Elle m'a beaucoup aidée pour remettre sur pied ma digestion en lien avec une maladie auto-immune. Grâce à elle, j'ai éradiqué l'H. pylori et le Giardia naturellement alors que les médecins prescrivent normalement des antibiotiques. Je la recommande à 1000 % à n'importe qui souhaite se soigner naturellement.

The Origin

From Nutrition Therapy to FunctionAlps

From Practice to an Ecosystem

FunctionAlps is the next chapter of Alessandra Ginsburg's work with Nutrition Therapy.

For years, Alessandra has helped clients move beyond generic diet advice through functional nutrition, advanced testing, microbiome-focused care, and deeply individualized support. Her approach has always started with listening: understanding the person, their history, their lifestyle, their symptoms, and the terrain in which those symptoms appeared.

FunctionAlps brings that same philosophy into a new physical ecosystem in Crans-Montana.

With Dr. Thomas Convent joining the project, the practice expands from one expert-led nutrition clinic into a medical-grade functional health hub: a place where nutritionists, doctors, wellness professionals, selected technologies, and carefully validated products can work around one shared goal.

Not just helping you choose a plan. Helping you understand your body, build the right support around you, and experience functional health in real life.

Questions

Frequently asked

Yes. Our co-founder Dr. Thomas is a medical doctor specialising in human physiology. Every protocol is reviewed through a clinical lens, and we work with specialist partners when deeper medical oversight is required.

Most clients see meaningful changes within 3 to 6 months. But functional nutrition is not a quick fix. It is a sustained, evidence-based process. We stay with you for as long as it takes to see real, lasting change.

No. Our programs are designed to work remotely. Test kits are delivered to your home, consultations happen online, and our app keeps everything connected. When our clinic opens, you will have priority access, but it is not required.

Three things: the depth of diagnostics (six validated tests, not one), the expertise of interpretation (Alessandra reads all results together, not in isolation), and the sustained support (a dedicated team, not a single appointment).

Alessandra is accredited with ASCA and EMR, so most Swiss complementary health insurance plans cover her consultations, partially or in full depending on your policy. Tests, supplements, and the program itself are not reimbursed by basic insurance. We provide the documents you need to claim what is reimbursable.

Roughly two to four hours a week, most of which goes to the lifestyle and nutrition changes themselves. Sessions are scheduled around your week, the app keeps the protocol in front of you, and the coaching team handles questions in between, so you do not have to hold it all in your head.

A one-hour consultation with Alessandra, online. She reads your questionnaire and any existing labs in advance, so the time together goes straight into a deep clinical conversation about your symptoms, your history, your priorities, and what is realistic for your life. You leave with a clear picture of what is going on and a recommended path forward.

A standard blood panel looks for disease. Functional testing looks for imbalance well before disease. The six tests we use map gut, hormones, mitochondria, methylation, micronutrients and inflammation, and read together they show patterns no single panel can catch. That is what allows the protocol to actually be personalised, not generic.

Yes. Our Discovery has a variant for clients arriving with recent bloodwork. Alessandra reads the panel ahead of the session, identifies gaps, and only proposes additional tests if the existing data is not enough. The fee is the same, but you save on testing you do not need to repeat.

Functional nutrition works on biology, not motivation, so the timeline is honest. Most clients feel a shift within the first few weeks and meaningful change between months three and six. The protocol is adjusted at every Alessandra checkpoint, and we rerun the relevant tests when needed. If after six months nothing is moving, we will say so plainly and help you find what will.
