Functional Medicine & Longevity Consultation

A functional medicine and longevity consultation is an extended, holistic medical assessment that examines the root drivers of accelerated aging, fatigue, metabolic shifts, and hormonal decline. Guided by Dr Farzana's extensive medical experience as an MD, MRCGP, and British Menopause Society clinician, the consultation bridges advanced preventative diagnostics with bespoke lifestyle, nutraceutical, and regenerative therapies.

Adults seeking to optimise their healthspan, investigate complex or lingering symptoms (such as chronic low energy, brain fog, metabolic resistance, or hormonal shifts), or proactively build a cellular longevity strategy for healthy aging.

Prior to your consultation, you complete a detailed clinical and lifestyle questionnaire. During the consultation, Dr Farzana conducts an in-depth clinical analysis covering medical history, nutritional status, sleep architecture, stress physiology, and toxic burden. Targeted functional blood panels or microbiome tests are curated, followed by a phased, evidence-based health protocol.

Yes. All treatments begin with a private medical consultation so suitability and safety can be assessed individually.

Aesthetic and medical treatments may support your goals in suitable patients, with progress reviewed together. Responses vary, so identical outcomes cannot be promised.

Suitability is confirmed individually at a private consultation. Where a treatment is not appropriate, Dr Farzana will say so honestly and discuss alternatives where helpful.

Standard NHS GP appointments typically last 10 minutes and focus on acute symptom triage or prescribing. A functional medicine consultation with Dr Farzana is an unhurried, 60 to 90-minute investigation that looks upstream at lifestyle, hormonal patterns, metabolic health, and nutritional biomarkers to prevent chronic decline and optimise longevity.

Not necessarily. Many patients find it helpful to discuss their symptoms and history first, allowing Dr Farzana to recommend a bespoke, targeted testing panel rather than ordering generic or unnecessary blood tests.

Yes. In fact, midlife hormonal health is one of Dr Farzana's primary clinical passions. As a British Menopause Society member, she investigates hormone shifts alongside thyroid function, adrenal cortisol rhythm, and metabolic factors to provide comprehensive symptom relief.

Absolutely. Private functional medicine works collaboratively with your existing NHS care. You will always receive clear medical summaries that you can share with your primary GP.
