As a highly experienced medical doctor and consultant in Rheumatology, I have spent over 15 years in the NHS gaining in-depth knowledge of arthritis, autoimmune, and inflammatory conditions. But my passion for promoting health and preventing chronic diseases led me to expand my expertise in sports and exercise medicine, as well as further training with the Institute of Functional Medicine.
I firmly believe that our health is a reflection of the choices we make every day – from lifestyle habits to emotional well-being and environmental factors. Unfortunately, the current healthcare system tends to focus on treating symptoms rather than addressing the root causes of chronic diseases. This leaves many people without the proper support and solutions for their unexplained and frustrating symptoms.
Whether you're an athlete seeking to overcome performance barriers or someone living with pain who is striving for optimal health and longevity, I’m here to provide personalised solutions to help you thrive. With a range of in-person and online consulations and testing kits available, I’m here to guide your treatment to a life you want to live.
My approach is rooted in functional and integrative medicine, combining evidence-based practices with a deep understanding of individual needs. I am dedicated to empowering you to take charge of your well-being and live the best life you can.
I will arm you with evidence-based knowledge, tailored to your unique physiology, ensuring that you receive the support you need to create a healthy and balanced lifestyle that enhances your physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
Putting the ‘health’ back into health and fitness.
