Functional Medicine

If symptoms are clues, the real question is: What are they telling you?

Real change begins when we start asking why, not just what. 

This is for you if…

Does that sound like you?

Beyond Quick Fixes: A Plan for Lasting Change

Imagine your health like a roof with ten holes.

Prescribing a medication may patch one hole – but if the other nine remain, the roof still leaks.

Functional Medicine steps back to look at the whole roof. We work together to identify and fix as many root causes as possible – so the leaks stop, the house dries out and real healing can begin.

With a clear plan and the right ongoing support, your body’s capacity to make progress is amazing. Do you want to start fixing the roof?

From stuck to thriving:

This is personalised medicine with a purpose: to help you feel like you again.

What happens after a Strategy Session
Membership

Membership

After an Initial Consultation, some people feel confident to continue on their own — and that’s great. We’ll still be here if needed in the future.

But for many, lasting change takes time. Life happens. Needs evolve. Plans may need adapting. Expert guidance along the way can make all the difference.

That’s where Membership comes in.

Using our proprietary About You Compass™ framework, we bring clarity to your goals, what’s driving your ongoing symptoms and where to focus next – so you can move forward, step by step.

We offer three membership tiers, based on how much 1:1 time you need. To guide this, we use your Medical Symptoms Questionnaire (MSQ) score plus clinical judgement.

The Benefits of Membership

Momentum matters – and this is where it builds. Each session draws on the About You Compass™ framework to give you focused guidance, data-driven decisions and a clear route to lasting, meaningful change – not just short-term gains.

Monthly sessions include:

* Laboratory test fees are charged separately

Frequently Asked Questions

Not at all.
The first step is always a low-cost Strategy Session to explore whether we’re a good fit. If we decide to work together, the next step is a full Initial Consultation.
Only after that, when we’ve gathered the right information and know what your body needs, will we discuss membership. You’ll have all the information you need to decide, without pressure.

We’ll guide you.
You don’t need to decide this upfront. During your Initial Consultation, we’ll use your Medical Symptoms Questionnaire (MSQ) score and clinical insights to recommend a tier that matches the support you need.
This ensures you’re not overcommitted — but not under-supported either.

It’s evidence-informed — and rooted in sound clinical science.

Functional Medicine is guided by the best available research, particularly in the field of Lifestyle Medicine (an evidence-based medical specialty). It also draws on the science of systems biology, biochemistry and clinical expertise.

Not every intervention in Functional Medicine can be tested in pharmaceutical-style, randomised, double-blinded trials – nor should it be. For example, you can’t “blind” someone to whether they’re sleeping better, reducing stress or improving their diet.

Instead, we take a holistic, science-informed approach, using personalised strategies that reflect how real people live – and how the body really works. This approach is endorsed by institutions like The Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) and is used by thousands of clinicians globally.

Absolutely.
This is not either/or – it’s both/and. About You Medical is designed to complement your NHS care. We’re very happy to share relevant information with your NHS GP (with your consent) so your care stays joined up. Many clients find the two approaches work powerfully together.

We understand that investing in your health is a big decision.
But here’s the truth: unresolved symptoms, constant trial-and-error and months of guesswork can cost far more –  in time, energy and quality of life.

Our approach brings clarity, direction and results by getting to the root of what’s really going on. And with three tiers of membership, we’ll help you choose a path that fits your needs and budget.

Every person is different — and that’s the point.
We don’t offer cookie-cutter protocols or generic plans. Instead, we spend time understanding your unique history, goals and biology before recommending anything.

We’ve supported people with a wide range of issues – from fatigue and digestive problems to hormone imbalances, autoimmunity and unexplained symptoms.

While no approach can guarantee results, we’re confident in the power of personalised, root-cause care to unlock progress where other routes may have stalled.

Only what’s relevant — and we’ll always discuss it first.
Functional testing can be incredibly helpful, but we don’t believe in scattergun panels or one-size-fits-all testing.

Any lab tests are chosen through consultation and only when clinically justified. You’ll also benefit from wholesale pricing, with no markup – and we’ll always talk you through the options and costs in advance.

Lasting results come from steady steps in the right direction and that’s what we’ll focus on together.

Every person is different – and so is the timeline for making progress. Some people feel noticeable improvements within a few weeks. For others, especially with more complex or long-standing issues, it can take longer.

What makes the biggest difference is consistency: when people engage with the process, follow the plan and take small steps over time, results tend to come. The good news? You won’t be doing it alone – we’ll be there to guide and adjust things as you go.

Because real change takes time.

Many people we help have been feeling unwell for months – sometimes years. Symptoms don’t appear overnight and they rarely resolve overnight either. The six-month minimum gives us enough time to go deep, track progress and make smart, data-informed adjustments as we go. It’s also when people start to feel real, sustainable improvement.

Behind the scenes, a significant amount of work happens outside your appointments – including case reviews, research, planning and personalised summaries. This investment of time and care happens right from the start, so we ask for a clear commitment in return.

We believe six months is not just realistic – it’s what gives you the best chance of achieving lasting results.

It’s your choice — continue, take a break, or shift to lighter-touch support.
Some people choose to stay on their current tier because they’re still progressing and value the regular check-ins. Others feel ready for a different kind of support — and that’s where the Motivate tier comes in.

Designed for those who no longer need monthly 1:1 appointments but still want to stay connected, Motivate offers weekly group Q&A and an Annual Online Health Check-In. It’s a 12-month subscription that keeps you supported at a lower cost, while ensuring fair use and sustainable access for all.

And of course, if you’re ready to continue independently, that’s always an option too. There’s no pressure – just structure, support and a clear path forward when you need it.

We understand that circumstances can change and we want you to feel confident in your decision. That’s why we offer a 14-day cancellation window from the date you join Membership. If you change your mind during that time, you can cancel with no further obligation.

That said, by the time you’re invited to join, you’ll have already completed a Strategy Session and Initial Consultation. These first two steps give you the time, clarity and experience to decide whether the process feels like the right fit for you.
