Functional Medicine Edinburgh
Ease your body into working with you
and back towards balance (homeostasis; function!)
If your GP has sent you away "all normal" and you're not happy with that,
we should speak to get you back to functional biology

It’s hard to articulate the impact Louise has had on my life! We’re still working on my gut health but have made enormous progress, with my joint pain gone completely, and for the first time in my life my guts are normal, without constant discomfort, bloating, gas and explosions! Amazingly, I didn’t even ask for help with the chronic pain and regular flare ups of trigeminal neuralgia, having been told an artery and nerve were touching in my face, with the side effects of prescription meds not being worth the tiny reduction in pain. While managing my expectations and not giving premature hope, Louise pursued some personalised testing and expertly recommended supplements to address an imbalance, and my TN has completely resolved, after 15 years of constant pain!.

I'm so glad I trusted my instincts this time and decided to embark on a journey with Louise. My health has been deteriorating for the last 10 years or so and it had gotten to the point where I was ready to give up. I was back and forward to the doctors for many years and they just didn't know how to help me. Five months in I am blown away with the difference in myself. I honestly never thought It was possible to feel happy again. I'm singing again, I can concentrate, I'm laughing, and even exercising. I've lost weight, I've lost the bloated belly, my hairs grown back, I have no joint pain but most importantly, I feel like me again. My body is functional again and I will be forever grateful.

About
our approach
Our Promise: There Is Promise.
We offer clarity and compassion, not complexity or criticism.
You will never be blamed, doubted, or dismissed. Your unique antecedents, triggers and mediators are all relevant and any sign or symptom you’re not happy with is completely valid. And we believe there HAS to be a reason for it.
It’s Not Fault-Finding: It’s Root-Cause Analysis
We know that symptoms are messengers, not mistakes.
Our role is never to diagnose, but to investigate the deeper “why”.
We approach every case with:
Compassion - for the person who’s already tried everything
Curiosity - about how the body is currently communicating
Clarity - to help you understand your own biology
Commitment - to finding your root-cause(s)
… CONTEXT - your lab results will always be assessed within the bigger clinical picture, avoiding common rabbit holes (treating every single biochemical pathway) that delay or derail true healing
It’s a humble and structured investigation into the way your biochemistry, genetics, and environment may be shaping your current experience.
You don’t have to live with uncertainty, unexplained symptoms, or chronic dismissal. We can explore, investigate and test for what’s really going on.
