About Dr Gayetri
A holistic approach
Functional Medicine practitioners, like Dr Gayetri, consider the whole person holistically when looking to treat illness and disease.
Dr Gayetri will take the time to look at every aspect of your life, arrange appropriate Functional Medicine tests, and assess the results to create a tailored effective treatment plan for you. She will be able to answer any questions you may have throughout this process.
Taking responsibility
Functional Medicine is an active form of treatment, and it is important that you are ready to commit to a new and better way of living.
Dr Gayetri’s experience has shown that patients who take responsibility for their health and fully engage in their treatment plans will see the most improvements.
Most patients need to develop new habits and stop doing things that are not helpful. Dr Gayetri and her team will support you through this transitional period and help to keep you on track if you have an off day or a setback.
Testing and coaching
As a science-based practitioner, Dr Gayetri may order one or more lab tests, the results of which are used to clinically inform the course of action she prescribes for you.
As well as benefitting from Dr Gayetri’s expert medical advice, you will work with one of our Health Coaches who will help you learn how to embed a new set of healthy habits into your daily routine.
A healthier, happier you
Feeling healthy isn’t just about absence of disease; it is about being free to live the life you choose and deserve, it is about allowing your body and mind to be happier and healthier, and it is about thriving and achieving optimal health, for today and the future.
The fact that you are reading this is a sign that you are ready to take this responsibility and move forward, in every aspect of your life.
My team and I are here to walk with you on your journey to a healthier, happier life.

Dr Kerry Aston
Associate Functional Medicine Doctor
MBBCHBAO, MRCP, FFSEM, Dip SEM, AFMCP
I am a medical doctor specialising in rheumatology with over 15 years of experience in the NHS. I have also expanded my expertise in sports and exercise medicine and received additional training from the Institute of Functional Medicine.
I believe that our daily choices, including lifestyle habits, emotional well-being, and environmental factors, greatly impact our health. Unfortunately, the current healthcare system often focuses on treating symptoms rather than addressing the root causes of chronic diseases, leaving many people without the proper support that they need.
As an advocate for functional medicine, I emphasise the importance of lifestyle changes in preventing and reversing chronic diseases. Whether you’re an athlete looking to overcome performance barriers or someone striving for better health, I’m here to identify the reasons for your health challenges and provide personalised solutions to help you thrive.
My approach is rooted in functional and integrative medicine, combining evidence-based practices with a deep understanding of individual needs. I’m dedicated to helping you to take control of your well-being and reach your potential.
Dr Sarah Elson
ASSOCIATE FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE DOCTOR
MBCHB, MRCGP, DRCOG
I am an experienced General Practitioner and have worked in the NHS for 16 years. I have a holistic approach to healthcare and place immense value on treating patients as individuals, recognizing the unique circumstances and needs of each person.
In 2018, driven by a passion for deeper, more comprehensive patient care, I began studying Functional Medicine. This advanced approach allows me to work collaboratively with patients to identify the root causes of their health concerns. By fostering therapeutic partnerships, I empower my patients to find sustainable solutions and achieve optimal health outcomes.
Throughout my career, I have observed the significant impact of lifestyle, relationships, and stress on overall wellbeing. My practice is dedicated to supporting patients in making meaningful, sustainable changes that enhance their quality of life.
I believe in the power of a patient-centred approach, where the focus is on improving not just physical health, but life satisfaction.
