🔹 About Our Functional Medicine Consultations

 

We offer three levels of Functional Medicine consultations to meet you where you are in your health journey. Whether you’re just beginning to explore root-cause medicine or you’re looking for deep, ongoing support, each session is designed to provide clarity, direction, and a personalised plan.

​

🧭 Discovery Consultation

 

£250 | 60 minutes

A focused, foundational session ideal for those new to Functional Medicine.

We’ll explore your key health concerns, discuss possible underlying imbalances, and identify practical next steps — including lifestyle guidance, recommended testing, or treatment options.

You’ll receive a brief summary with suggestions tailored to your goals.

 

🔬 Advanced Consultation

 

£450 | 90 minutes

This is a comprehensive, deep-dive assessment for those with chronic, complex, or evolving health concerns.

Before the session, we carefully review your detailed intake form and any labs or data you’ve submitted. During your consultation, we’ll connect your personal health story to functional patterns, and co-create a personalised plan — covering diet, lifestyle, testing, and targeted support.

A detailed written summary is provided following the session.

 

🔄 Follow-Up Consultation

 

£150 | Up to 60 minutes

Recommended for clients continuing after an Advanced Consultation.

These sessions focus on assessing your progress, adjusting protocols, reviewing new test results, and supporting your long-term health goals.

​

9. How Is Functional Medicine Different from Conventional Medicine?

 

Functional Medicine takes a root-cause approach rather than just managing symptoms. It focuses on:

 

✔ Identifying underlying imbalances in metabolism, hormones, digestion, and cellular function.

✔ Using personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted supplementation to restore health.

✔ Applying comprehensive lab testing to guide treatment decisions.

 

Unlike conventional medicine, which often focuses on symptom relief, Functional Medicine aims to restore long-term health and vitality.

 

10. Can Functional Medicine Help with Skin & Aging?

 

Yes! We specialize in internal and external approaches to skin health and longevity, focusing on:

 

✔ Collagen metabolism & skin structure

✔ Oxidative stress & mitochondrial function

✔ Hormonal balance & its impact on skin aging

✔ Nutrigenomics & epigenetics for beauty & longevity

 

By addressing the root causes of premature aging, we help optimize skin health from within.
