Rob is a GMC registered medical doctor who uses Functional/Integrative Medicine. Having studied medicine at Bristol University, he went on to complete hospital speciality jobs in both the UK and New Zealand before settling back in the West Country.
With over 20 years as a Doctor and GP, Rob recognised that many chronic health conditions are complex intertwined areas which do not always respond to conventional treatment. Leading him to study new research and integrative health approaches. Including the combined interactions of the gut and nutrition, our immune system, hormonal systems, toxin clearance, and the powerful links these have to the brain, emotions and autonomic nervous system. He became fascinated by how our health is so powerfully impacted by both the genes we inherit and the lifestyle exposures that we experience.
Rob uses a functional medicine and a systems-based biology approach – looking for root causes as to why the symptoms are occurring and new approaches to support the body in repairing itself, to provide a personalised and holistic approach to health.
