Dr. Gayetri has been incredibly helpful in my health and wellness journey. I have noticed increased energy levels and focus. Dr. Gayetri has always given me space to express my concerns, and together we decided on a plan of action. I feel safe and listened to and am excited to continue this journey, knowing I am in trustworthy hands.
I have been receiving excellent treatment for a year now with Dr Gayetri and I am more than satisfied. I did some research to begin with and chose Dr Gayetri because she covered gut health and all illnesses, treating the whole person not individual issues.
I’ve had health problems for many years, diagnosed with heart failure and having a pacemaker and defibrillator fitted 10years ago, hypothyroidism, severe asthma and allergies, vertigo type attacks plus gut health problems. I am amazed at how much better I feel a year on , it’s a long process and life changing but so worth it. Dr Gayetri is professional, patient, kind and so helpful. She has the most calming effect on me, giving me such a sense of well being. Thank you so much Dr Gayetri and team with special thanks to Jo for her help and patience.
“I have been getting ‘virus’ type symptoms for 3 years (fever, migraines, sore throat, low energy etc.) Since i saw Dr Gayetri 5 months ago, i have not had any of the symptoms and have felt so much clearer, more energetic and just a lot healthier! i have lost weight and my skin has improved too.
All from making some simple but important changes to diet and lifestyle. A lot of people have told me how much healthier i look! The functional medicine concept makes so much sense and it has been refreshing to have Dr Gayetri pinpoint the cause rather than treat the symptoms of my illness. Very highly recommended! Everyone should have a functional Doctor..”
“I wish I had taken my health into my hands years earlier and contacted Dr Gayetri much sooner than I did. After I had my second child, I was felling exceptionally fatigued and felt that even the most menial of tasks left me exhausted.
As all mothers, I though this was normal, of course I would feel tired having two young children to cater for, but then as the years went by, I felt gradually worse and worse. I had already been diagnosed as a Coeliac five years earlier, I then went on to discover another autoimmune sign and started suffering from an irregular menstrual cycle.
When I discussed my symptoms with my GP, they told me I had been ‘unlucky’ and would only carry out a routine blood & hormone test which yielded no abnormalities.
After extensive research and recommendation, I found Dr Gayetri. She was extremely concise, informative, and pin pointed the areas I was having the most problems. I had finally found someone that really understood my symptoms and did not make me feel foolish for voicing them, it was a huge relief.
She provided detailed reports following our consultations, with clear information to follow and was available to contact if I had any questions. I really appreciated that Dr Gayetri only advised the tests that were actually going to lead us to discover the cause of my symptoms, to keep the cost sensible.
Within three months, following the customised advice from Dr Gayetri which she adapted after the results of each test, I felt completely restored! I was waking up full of energy, which continued throughout the day. My skin looked clearer, my menstrual cycle regulated back to normal, I was sleeping better, my mood was vastly improved and everyone around me noticed the improvement also.
I could not recommend Dr Gayetri enough as your functional health doctor, she has enhanced my life completely.”
“I decided to see Dr Gayetri mainly because my lifelong prescription medication, which I unfortunately have to take, was damaging my liver. I’m a strong believer in good diet, exercise and supplements, but you need a professional to guide you. It’s a highly complex area with huge amounts of information to try and decipher.
Dr Gayetri will examine it for you, suggest the exact tests you need and put together a comprehensive report and regime for you to follow. The results are already very promising and my liver has already fully recovered. We are now working on improving many other aspects of my health. I highly recommend Dr Gayetri”
I have been undergoing support from the practice since the start of the year and the transformation in 3 short months has been immense. The care and personalised attention to my health needs I could not have asked for more. Being new to functional medicine I was apprehensive at first but honestly the best thing I have done for my health and wished I had started this journey sooner. Thank you to all the team at the practice.
Working with Dr Gayetri such worthwhile time and money spent. Together we dug into my health and personal history and she provided insights along the way and helped me connect the dots between health challenges that I’ve dealt with for a long time as well as come up with a plan to start remedying some of those challenges. Working with Dr Gayetri (or any Functional Medicine Doctor) requires a willingness to change some habits and consider new options but it is well worth it. And Dr Gayetri is the best professional and guide you could ask for!
I have had eczema since childhood. It was sometimes managed but often flared up in times of stress. When I first contacted Dr. Gayetri I had had such a bad flare up that I was having to bandage my hands and wear gloves constantly. I was on my third course of antibiotics in as many months and was feeling terrible. The GP was sympathetic but told me that it would be a two year wait for a dermatology appointment. In the first appointment, Dr. Gayetri really took time to listen to me and find out about my whole medical history, not just related to my skin.
That in itself made me feel a lot better and gave me hope that there was a solution. She suggested some supplements, an elimination diet and several ways to manage stress.
Following all of her guidance was difficult in the beginning but I was determined to do everything she suggested. I could see and feel the difference in just a couple of weeks. In follow up appointments she tweaked the supplements, helped me to reintroduce most foods and gave me lots encouragement.
10 months on and I am completely free of eczema, despite starting a new, stressful job. I am eating a nutritious, healthy diet. I have so much more energy. My skin looks amazing. I have lost weight (this wasn’t one of my goals but is welcome). I have embraced breathing techniques and yoga. Going to see Dr. Gayetri was a life-changing decision and I really can’t thank her enough.
“Last year I was unable to walk, deeply fatigued and looking at a rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis – now my recent blood tests are normal, I’m pain free and taking on new gardening work!
“I had been feeling unwell with a host of unresolved symptoms for several years before consulting Dr Gayetri – joint pain and swelling, muscle weakness, fatigue, weak, congested chest, hives and debilitating headaches to name some of the worst. Having thought myself a previously strong and healthy person, at 49 years of age I had to give up the gardening business I had built over the past 10 years.
I reached a point where I could barely stand or walk, had high inflammation levels in my body and was looking at a rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis.
Within a couple of months of treatment with Dr Gayetri my energy levels had returned, chest problems resolved and joint problems were steadily improving! Six months on I now have normal blood results, am pain free and am taking on new gardens. My 10 year old daughter says she has her mum back! How can I put a value on that?”
I had been suffering with eczema for about 5-6 years when I went to see Dr Gayetri. I had never suffered with it as child and I was having to use stronger topical steroids. The patches of eczema would never seem to go away and I was getting it over larger parts of my body and more severe flare ups. I knew there must be something in my lifestyle that was contributing to this as it only started in my late 30s.
I found out about Dr Gayetri after doing some research into functional medicine and what appealed to me was the fact she had also been a GP so will know about the conventional treatment as well as the functional medicine side.
The initial consultation was very in depth and identified a change in job and resulting stress was a likely trigger. I had a few tests done which showed where my nutrition was lacking and did a guided elimination diet which identified a couple of food triggers.
Dr Gayetri suggested several supplements based on the test results, increasing exercise and also meditation to help with relaxation. I had 4 or 5 in person and virtual consultations in total and over time my skin cleared up and I stopped using topical steroids at all! I was so happy as I had tried so many different creams and trying to eliminate food groups myself before this and was feeling very self conscious in the summer when people could see my skin but with the treatment under Dr Gayetri I had finally got on top of it and could carry those tools forward into the future.
Had a wonderful experience with Dr Gayetri. I worked with her team (Dr Gayetri, health coach, nutritionist) and especially enjoyed working with Dr Gayetri and the health coach. They were both very helpful and came very prepared to our meetings each time.
My health has improved a lot working with them. If you are looking for ways to improve your life with chronic illnesses, I’d recommend getting help from a functional dr on top of your normal doctor.
“I have been visiting Dr Gayetri now for the last 5 months, and her help, support and knowledge have made such a difference to my health. I have suffered from an under active thyroid for the last 8 years and my weight and general health were suffering .
Since seeing Dr Gayetri, I have lost 2 stones, have learnt about my holistic health and benefited from her advice and suggestions of how to deal with sleep, and help with healing my gut. I will continue to live a healthier life now that I have the knowledge of how to succeed.”
During the lockdown I wasn’t able to personally see Dr Gayetri, however I did have webinar appointments with her. These appointments were an hour long, once a month for 3 months and then every week during the 3 month I had 30 minutes webinar sessions with Carmen, the health advisor, who provided great support, encouragement and advice on diet, exercise, mindfulness, breathing etc.
My experience with Dr Gayetri as a Functional Medicine Doctor helped deal with many issues I was dealing with where my local GP wanted to deal with each issue separately with medication.
Working with Dr Gayetri I found out I have a sensitivity to gluten, eggs and dairy.
I also found out how my high stress level was affecting my digestive system along with my poor sleeping habit. My health has improved unbelievably and I have learnt so much about the little changed I make such a different to how I feel. I was made to realise that I had to make a lifestyle change in order to get better and working with Carmen week by week made it easy. I would definitely recommend seeing Dr Gayetri. It has been money very well spent”.
I have been under the care of Dr Gayetri for approximately six months on the Gold Plan.I initially went to her with a range of non-specific symptoms that I have been experiencing for the past couple of years.
Having been to number of other doctors previously, my symptoms were still persisting.
However, on my first consult with Dr Gayetri, she completely understood my symptoms and was very understanding. She then set about writing a testing and treatment protocol to help improve my condition.
I have had regular follow-ups with Dr Gayetri, where she went through test results and took the time to explain the implications of these, in detail. She then amended my treatment protocol as a result of this. Throughout this time, Dr Gayetri has answered questions and queries that I have had and has been very professional and supportive.
Many of my symptoms have improved and I am very thankful to Dr Gayetri for her help, support and guidance. Her knowledge and expertise, especially in the field of functional medicine, is second to none.
