Functional Medicine Doctor

At our clinic, we believe in treating the root cause of illness, not just the symptoms. Through functional medicine, we take a personalised, patient-centred approach that looks at the intricate connection between lifestyle, diet, and overall well-being.

Our goal is to support long-term health and vitality by addressing the underlying factors contributing to chronic illness. We work closely with leading functional medicine experts in London, who specialise in immune system support and gut health testing. These experts focus on uncovering imbalances that can lead to conditions such as autoimmune diseases, digestive disorders, fatigue, and inflammatory issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it differ from conventional or general practice medicine?

Conventional medicine often focuses on symptom control (e.g., prescribing medications to relieve pain or inflammation). Functional medicine looks deeper — assessing how genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors interplay, and designing personalised treatment plans.

What happens after the initial consultation?

Based on your test results and health assessment, a personalised treatment plan will be created — possibly involving lifestyle, nutritional, hormonal, or gut-supporting therapies.

What exactly is functional medicine?

Functional medicine is an approach that seeks to address the root causes of disease and imbalance, rather than merely treating symptoms. It integrates conventional medical knowledge with advanced diagnostics, lifestyle, nutrition, and holistic modalities to support long-term wellness.

Can functional medicine help in preventive health (not just when I’m unwell)?

Absolutely. Many people use functional medicine proactively — to optimise energy, hormone balance, gut health, immunity, and to prevent chronic disease, even when they feel “okay.”

What kinds of health issues can be addressed with functional medicine?

This can include (but is not limited to):

  • Chronic fatigue and low energy
  • Digestive disorders (IBS, SIBO, leaky gut)
  • Autoimmune conditions
  • Hormonal imbalances (thyroid, adrenal, reproductive)
  • Metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance
  • Inflammation, allergies, or food sensitivities
  • Mood, stress, or sleep disturbances
  • Detoxification issues and toxin exposures
What types of tests may be recommended?

Tests may include:

  • Advanced blood panels (nutrients, inflammation, hormone markers)
  • Urine, stool, or saliva tests (gut microbiome, detox metabolites, adrenal hormones)
  • Genetic or epigenetic panels (where applicable)
  • Functional biomarkers (oxidative stress, mitochondrial function)
How frequently will I have follow-up visits?

That depends on your condition. Early on, follow-ups may be more frequent (every few weeks). Over time, as stability is achieved, visits typically taper to monthly or quarterly.

What types of health issues can functional medicine help with?
Functional medicine is often used for chronic or complex conditions such as autoimmune diseases, digestive disorders, fatigue, inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and issues related to gut health or immune function.
Can the functional medicine approach replace my existing treatments?
Functional medicine is meant to complement, not necessarily replace, existing treatments. It’s designed to work integratively with conventional medical care, under supervision.
Is functional medicine scientifically backed and safe?
Yes, when delivered by properly trained and licensed practitioners. It draws on evidence-based research in fields like biochemistry, genomics, nutrition, and systems biology. The treatments and tests used are chosen carefully and monitored for safety.
If I already have a diagnosis from another physician, can functional medicine help?
Yes. Functional medicine often complements existing care. We can work together with your specialists or GP to optimise your therapy, reduce side effects, or address residual symptoms you may still have.
What happens in the first consultation?
During the initial appointment, the clinician will:
  • Review your health history, family history, and timeline of symptoms
  • Ask detailed questions about nutrition, sleep, stress, gut health, etc.
  • Examine your current labs or order new diagnostics if needed
  • Begin to map out possible root causes
  • Discuss next steps and a plan (testing, lifestyle, supplements)
How long will the process take?
The timeframe depends on the complexity of the case. Many plans run for 3 to 6 months initially, with periodic reviews and adjustments. Some changes may be felt early; others take time as systems rebalance.
What are the costs and how are they structured?
Our pricing typically includes the consultation fee, cost of tests, and any recommended supplements or treatments (unless otherwise noted).

  • GP/functional medicine in-clinic consultation: £95
  • Video GP consultation: £79
  • Telephone GP consultation: £49
  • Prescriptions: £25
  • Vitamin D / B12 injections: £95 each
Note: specialised tests or additional services may incur extra charges.
