At our functional medicine clinic, we are dedicated to empowering our clients on their journey towards optimal health.
The functional medicine approach focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of chronic illness, rather than simply managing symptoms.
At our clinic, we move beyond the traditional disease-centered model and embrace a patient-centered approach that focuses on treating the whole person, not just a collection of symptoms.
Functional Medicine blends the latest advancements in genetic science, systems biology, and a deep understanding of how lifestyle and environmental factors drive health and disease.
This forward-thinking approach allows our practitioners to deliver proactive, predictive, and personalized care, empowering you to take an active role in your journey toward optimal health.

Chronic health conditions are often multifaceted, influenced by a range of interconnected factors. In your initial deep dive consultation, your functional medicine practitioner will carefully assess your symptoms, medical history, and laboratory findings to identify meaningful patterns and correlations.
This process begins by exploring potential drivers of imbalance—such as gut health which is the most important aspect of keeping healthy, environmentally toxins, nutrient insufficiencies, or hormone imbalances, and designing a focused plan to investigate the root causes of your health concerns.
With this evidence-based, systems-oriented approach, you’ll receive a personalised roadmap aimed at restoring balance and supporting lasting, sustainable wellness.
Managing ongoing health concerns involves more than just identifying root causes — it requires the right support to create meaningful, lasting change. That’s why our approach is designed to provide both clinical insight and practical guidance through your dedicated functional medicine practitioner.
Your practitioner will take the lead in uncovering underlying imbalances, pinpointing triggers, and crafting a personalised treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. They’ll also guide you in translating those clinical insights into achievable steps, helping you integrate changes that support real, long-term progress.
With expert care and a personalised roadmap, you’ll gain the clarity, tools, and confidence to take control of your health and start feeling your best again.

Alex
Managing Director
Working with Rob was a truly transformative experience. Their guidance not only helped me navigate a wide range of symptoms but also gave me the knowledge and tools to build lasting, healthy habits. I feel more empowered and informed about my health than ever before. Edinburgh CFM is setting a new standard for how healthcare should be delivered — I can’t recommend Rob highly enough.
Rebecca
Edinburgh CFM has been life-changing for me. Living with eczema was overwhelming — it felt like it was taking over every part of my life. I joined the 6-month program hoping for some guidance, and what I got was so much more. With the support of Rob, I now understand the specific foods and lifestyle triggers that were making things worse. For the first time, my eczema is under control without relying on steroids — and I finally feel empowered in my own skin
Joan
My daughter was having health challenges and someone recommended the centre. She received a diagnosis of gut issues and found out she had SIBO. With the help of our practitioner, we were able to get her back to school so she could continue her studies for her exams. Highly recommended “
Marcus
“I came to the Centre with a diagnosis, (Hashimoto’s,) I hadn’t been able to find a clinic that would provide understanding and how to approach the disease without just suppressing symptoms. I feel like I matter and so do my symptoms. Progress made has been far greater than I have had through any other treatment options and I know that at each appointment I am able to share where I am and look at options of the next steps in my progression. I would highly recommend this clinic…”

Functional medicine offers a comprehensive healthcare approach that encompasses numerous factors that may influence disease or health conditions. Rather than focusing solely on treating symptoms of chronic illnesses, functional medicine considers a patient’s complete picture, including their personal background, family dynamics, lifestyle choices, medical history, genetic predispositions, social factors, and nutritional status. This holistic perspective provides patients with a broader understanding of their health, enabling healthcare providers to tailor treatments that address the underlying causes and promote overall well-being.
Functional medicine adopts a comprehensive approach to tackling health challenges by delving into a variety of factors, including genetics, environment, nutrition, and lifestyle. Instead of perceiving the body as a collection of isolated systems, functional medicine embraces a systems biology-based methodology, aiming to uncover the fundamental causes of a condition and administer treatments that target these causes. This approach yields long-lasting benefits, as it focuses on resolving underlying issues, thereby promoting sustained well-being.
A one off consultation is £285 and invovles looking at past medical results & history, current medication or supplements, the consultation itself, a detailed report including testing recommendations, nutriton&dietary advice and lifestyle advice.
Our 3 month plan is £850. This option is best for those who want to commit to a period with a functional medicine practitoner to get a deeper understanding of the root cause of their symptoms. Typically, we see a period of between 2 to 3 months for an improvement in symptoms.
The Edinburgh Centre for Functional Medicine sees a considerable number of patients who suffer from persistent symptoms and have not obtained favorable outcomes from prior healthcare providers. To identify the root causes of their condition, we implement a comprehensive treatment approach that prioritizes educating each patient about their body and symptom management. Our functional medicine methodology takes into consideration various factors that contribute to the imbalance and highlights the necessity of accounting for different factors to achieve long-term positive health outcomes.
