Functional Medicine

Qualifications

I am a Registered Nurse Prescriber and Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner. Using functional medicine model and a thorough physical examination, I focus on health optimisation and disease prevention. I specialise in anti-ageing therapies, skin health and hormones.

Having completed my nursing studies, I had a feeling that the conventional medicine was incomplete and insufficient. Functional Medicine provides the approach that makes complete sense. It views patients in a holistic way, focuses on prevention rather than ad hoc intervention.

By using these common sense principles of Functional Medicine, I started getting incredible results for my patients.

My method

Annual check-up for health optimisation and disease prevention:
Follow-up tests as needed

Consulation fee – £150 (1 hour – physical examination and 1 hour- report with recommendations)

Different Approach

Functional medicine is an approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of diseases, rather than merely treating symptoms. It differs from conventional medicine by taking a more holistic, patient-centered perspective.

Each person is unique, with distinct genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that influence their health. My approach considers a patient’s specific needs, history, and goals.
Instead of just masking symptoms, functional medicine aims to uncover and address the underlying causes of conditions.
I use a wide range of diagnostic tools, including advanced lab tests and detailed patient histories to assess all aspects of a person’s health. This might include testing for hormone imbalances, food sensitivities, micronutrient deficiencies, gastrointestinal health, and genetic predispositions.
Lifestyle choices play a central role in functional medicine – the importance of diet, exercise, sleep, stress management, and environmental factors in maintaining health. By addressing these lifestyle factors, I aim to prevent illness and promote long-term wellness.
I foster a partnership relations with my patients. It empowers them to make informed decisions and take an active role in their healing process. This often leads to better adherence to treatment plans and more sustainable health outcomes.
