The Vitality Method is our 12-week specialist, functional medicine programme, for deeper root-cause understanding and closer working. This can be carried out face-to-face, a hybrid of face-to-face and virtual/online, or completely virtual (with some minor modifications). While we can work with you in individual consultations, there are times when a programme is far more appropriate. Without a doubt, this method is proven to lead to greater insight, sustainable change, and dramatic results.

The Vitality Method Model
(Template credited to the Genius Model by Simon Bowen)
A key pillar of our method is a bespoke step-by-step Elimination Diet, which has numerous benefits to a patient looking to improve their health and uncover triggers. This requires a thorough consultation and detailed programme to design the appropriate elimination diet for you, help you prepare and coach you the entire way. Not only can this identify food sensitivities, it can reduce inflammation, promote gut healing, support weight loss, improve digestive health, help with mood disorders and enhance cognition. It is a complete gut reset. The gut plays a crucial role in overall health, including immune function, nutrient absorption, and the elimination of toxins. An elimination diet can give the gut a chance to rest and heal by removing foods that may be contributing to allergy, IBS, gut dysbiosis, leaky gut syndrome, GERD, or other digestive and gastrointestinal issues, immune function, autoimmune disease, skin problems, joint pain, arthritis, headaches, insulin resistance, unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight, hormone imbalances, mood disorders such as anxiety or depression, brain function and much more...
Alongside a thorough review of your health, we provide clarity, support and education, and coach you all the way, helping you make changes for life, redefine your wellness and achieve balance, vitality and longevity. Our method is underpinned by the IFM accredited Functional Medicine approach. Visit our Functional Medicine page for more details and what to expect on your consultation process.
