Dr. Indra Barathan (MBBS, DRCOG, DFFP, MRCGP, IFM [2018]) was a practising GP for over 20 years before ‘a light bulb moment’ saw her deciding to found her own Functional Medicine practice. Originally one of the first multi-disciplinary specialist functional medicine clinics in the North, it is now one of the largest in the UK.
Joining us in the White Fox Talking studio, Indra told us how functional medicine looks into the root causes of illness and doesn’t just treat the symptoms. Often working with patients who have exhausted the conventional approach and are still suffering from symptoms, Indra tells us how Functional Medicine delves deeper. It looks at all of you to understand what is causing those symptoms rather than simply treating them.
We speak about subjects ranging from nutrition, soil health, inflammation, pink pee and stress to mental health and the pressure on the health system. And that’s just as a start!
