Why your Functional Medicine Doctor is so happy to see you in person

In a world full of virtual visits, there are still powerful reasons to meet face-to-face, especially when it comes to your health.

Here are 3 reasons why in-person visits matter:

1. A deeper physical assessment
Sometimes your body tells a story that can’t be seen through a screen. Posture, skin tone, breathing patterns, movement, and physical exam findings all help your doctor better understand your overall health.

2. Stronger personal connection
Healing starts with trust. Being in the same room allows for better communication, stronger rapport, and a more personalized approach to your care journey.

3. Hands-on holistic support
Functional medicine often gincludes treatments and recommendations that benefit from direct observation and guidance, whether it’s nutrition, stress management, lifestyle coaching, or physical therapies.

Your health deserves a whole-person approach - and sometimes, that starts with simply being present.

Tired of approaches that only mask the symptoms, but never solve the real problem?
Functional Medicine takes a different approach.
Instead of asking “What medication matches this symptom?” we ask “Why is this happening in the first place?”
Whether you’re struggling with fatigue, gut issues, hormone imbalance, inflammation, stress, poor sleep, weight concerns, or ongoing health problems that never seem to improve, Functional Medicine looks deeper to uncover the root cause.
We explore areas like nutrition, gut health, hormones, lifestyle, stress, sleep, environmental triggers, and underlying imbalances that may be affecting your health.
True healing starts when we understand the whole picture, not just the symptoms.
There is now a new clinic in Tunbridge Wells offering Functional Medicine services and supporting patients with a more personalized approach to health.

Pleased to let you know of the launch of The Integratis Clinic with my colleague Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist Carrie Bartlett.

Persistent Fatigue

Not just needing an early night, but a kind of ongoing tiredness that doesn’t really shift. It can be harder to concentrate, harder to get through the day, and things that used to feel manageable can start to feel like a stretch.

Perhaps your GP has already run tests or looked into possible causes, and you are still experiencing symptoms that don’t feel fully explained.

Functional medicine takes a closer look at what might be contributing overall. This might include sleep quality, nutrition, iron levels, gut health, hormonal patterns, and how the body has been responding to stress over time.

Functional medicine is suitable for children, adults and families. At Integratis, we bring together functional medicine and psychological therapies so that physical and emotional factors can be thought about together, rather than separately.

For some people, it isn’t one single explanation, but a combination of things that haven’t quite been joined up before.

If this feels familiar and you’re thinking about whether some support might help, you can find out more about how we work at www.integratis.clinic or email us [email protected]

Intermittent fasting has been one of the most hyped dietary strategies of the past decade. A new Cochrane review suggests the evidence hasn't kept pace with the enthusiasm.

The review analyzed 22 randomized clinical trials involving nearly 2,000 adults. Alternate-day fasting, periodic fasting, and time-restricted eating were all evaluated. None produced meaningfully greater weight loss than standard dietary advice or no structured intervention at all.

Some people do genuinely thrive on intermittent fasting, but the most likely explanation is straightforward: compressing the eating window tends to reduce total calorie intake. When calories are held equal, the evidence suggests the fasting pattern itself offers no significant metabolic advantage.

The lead researcher noted that enthusiasm for intermittent fasting on social media runs well ahead of the data. That's worth acknowledging, given how confidently this approach has been promoted.

None of this means intermittent fasting is wrong for you. If it's a pattern you find sustainable and it's genuinely reducing your intake, this research isn't a reason to abandon it. The more useful questions are whether it's actually lowering your total calories and whether it's a pattern you can maintain long term. Those two things matter far more than the eating window itself.

Yesterday at the Advisory Group The National Down Syndrome Policy Group Summit I got to show the power of diagnostic overshadowing with James Langford and Nicola Enoch. I played the bad Dr Shadow and used the diagnosis shield to block James! Such a great session and engaged audience!

I was also so honoured to receive an award!!

Well done done to all the presenters and team!
Florence Garrett, Rachel Murray, Harshi, Ben Butcher, Rebekah and many many others!
