Dr Isobel Wilson

Isobel is a Functional Medicine medical doctor based in Edinburgh and the first working in Scotland. Having studied medicine at Cardiff University, Isobel became fascinated by the complex, biological mechanisms that lead to disease and subsequently took some time out of medicine to undertake a BSc in Cellular and Molecular Pathology. During this time she came to appreciate first hand the power that the mind had over general well-being and health. Isobel’s search to better understand this led her to qualify as a Hatha yoga teacher, before graduating from Cardiff in 2015.

Since then, she has spent time working in hospitals between the UK and rural South Africa. It was mainly from these experiences that she was struck by the common denominator between many of the most fatal diseases in these countries – namely, the modern lifestyle. Her passion is for developing a new model of healthcare which seeks to address the reasons why we are ill, rather than just treating the symptoms.

Isobel is fully certified with the Institute of Functional Medicine. She has completed additional advanced training modules in Gastrointestinal Health, Cardiometabolic Health, Immune Health, Environmental Health, Hormones and Bioenergetic along with training in Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics. In addition Isobel has completed training with the British Menopause Society. Isobel is a member of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh and The Institute of Functional Medicine.

She now lives in Edinburgh which is the perfect place for indulging her loves of trail running and cycling.
