Complex Chronic Illness Specialist · Root Cause Medicine
Functional medicine practitioner with 15+ years' experience helping complex chronic cases where conventional tests find nothing. Based in UK & Ireland — working worldwide.
"Paul was very approachable and genuinely helpful in trying to help with my health and lifestyle changes. He provided achievable goals and I feel more comfortable, when I have been struggling with bloating and stomach issues for a long time. I would 100% recommend Paul if you are looking to change your health and wellbeing for the better."
"Paul's health questionnaire really delved into both my physical and mental state like no other I'd ever completed. His thorough approach meant I had blood tests to determine where my deficiencies were. In the 10 months I have been seeing him I have so much more energy and enthusiasm for life. I have now sent my mum to him too."
"Paul is an outstanding practitioner. He is thoughtful, kind and thorough, combining knowledge of conventional medicine with alternatives, and bringing deep expertise in nutrition itself. My own health has improved a lot in his care. I have no hesitation in recommending him."
"Paul's advice has been transformative to my health. His nutrition advice has been greatly appreciated and I have a newfound energy. I highly recommend seeking advice from Paul if you are looking for practical solutions to improve your health."
"Paul helped me analyse blood test results that had been labelled 'normal' by my GP, but clearly weren't optimal. He explained everything in a way that made sense and focused on optimising my levels. The difference in my energy and overall wellbeing is remarkable. Paul is knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely cares about helping you feel your best."
"Since working with Paul I have seen a significant improvement in my health and would highly recommend him and his approach."
"Paul helped me overcome the symptoms of a recently diagnosed under-active thyroid. In the space of just 6 months, my health was turned around. I would unreservedly recommend Paul to anyone who wants to take control over their own health. The depth of analysis he undertakes to understand the cause of the issues is as valuable as the treatments he goes on to recommend."
"Trust. Everything I have tackled so far with Paul's knowledge has made my path easier to deal with. The results I have seen so far are 'proof in the pudding'. No stone has been left unturned. The commitment is worth it."
"Paul has helped immensely with my mycotoxin related health issues and chronic fatigue. He is very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need."
"After years on a ME recovery journey, the past six weeks have been truly transformative thanks to Paul's wise guidance and expertise. If you're wanting to improve your health, I highly recommend reaching out to him."
"I have been dealing with mold intoxification for 7+ years. I didn't have any success with previous functional medicine practitioners. I started seeing Paul 3–4 months ago and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. He created a tailored plan for me and I have had a significant improvement with my health. I feel more energetic, more relaxed, less sleepy."
"I consulted Paul in May — this was the best decision I made. Paul was professional, compassionate and understanding. Here I am 3 months later and 95% back to normal and I know I would not be at this stage without Paul."
"It's with Paul that I've made the most real progress. After my first session, we identified mold and mycotoxins as a big part of the problem. We ran some tests and started a personalised plan, and honestly, I'm doing so much better than I was this time last year. What I really like about Paul is how calm, approachable, and genuinely helpful he is."
"My energy levels have skyrocketed, my sleep has significantly improved, and my digestive issues are now a thing of the past. Thanks to Paul, I'm now in really good health. I would certainly not hesitate to recommend Paul Foley's Functional Medicine Services. Five Star Service!"
"I cannot thank Paul Foley enough for the incredible transformation I've experienced. His holistic approach involved running labs that identified deficiencies, diet analysis and changes, lifestyle support, sleep support, stress management and energy support protocols. I now feel amazing."
"Really helpful — sorted loads out that the local GP couldn't."
"I started seeing Paul when no doctor would believe me and I was losing all hope. He had me feeling so much better in a few short months. Paul is such a genuine and nice guy who made me feel at ease and he really wants to help you. I highly recommend him to anyone suffering."
"Paul is an absolute genius. He has helped my son so incredibly much! Our son suffered with Lyme's disease and Paul has been such an incredible strength for our family, filled us with so much confidence and hope. He gives us so much information, care and guidance. You are in safe hands."
"Paul helped me fully recover from Lyme disease and gave me practical advice that I could use immediately to start seeing an improvement in my health."
"Having suffered with various issues for 30 years and being told after testing by the NHS there's nothing wrong — from our initial consultation it became clear I'd made the correct decision. I cannot recommend Paul's company enough, and I can honestly say, although the dietary changes have been tough, it's been life changing for me."
"Paul did a thorough background check on my daughter and identified two potential causes. She is now thriving on a gluten free, dairy free diet. We have not had any more vomiting since changing our diet. I felt very supported during this process. I would recommend Paul to anyone."
"I received really good advice and a good diet plan to address most of my problems without needing medication. The NHS was completely at a loss and not responsive, but Paul did help me go through all of it. Highly recommended."
"The time that I have spent working with Paul has been fundamentally life changing. I have seen more progress in the last few months than I saw for years when seeking advice from my GP. I now have energy, motivation and clarity. My physical and mental well-being have improved exponentially. With Paul I felt listened to and understood."
"Paul helped me stop losing weight and instead put on weight through a mixed approach of proper diet and supplements. Now I have gained weight and my overall health has improved. Thank you Paul for all your help!"
"I've literally had a miraculous turnaround in health in a matter of weeks following Paul's advice. Having been ill for 4 years, and not finding any answers from doctors or nutritionists regarding chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, interstitial cystitis, IBS and mould toxicity — I am completely amazed at my progress now."
"I came to Paul just over 2 years ago and I can't recommend him enough. He is very thorough and certainly knows a lot about the functioning of the body. Conventional medicine hadn't got to the root cause of my illness but Paul's knowledge and knowing what tests to run has managed to get to the root of my illness. I am now like a different person."
"Life changing!!! Paul's work has improved not only my digestive system but many other parts of my life including sleep, moods, energy and concentration. I had tried many different prescribed medicines and diets and received advice from the NHS that just didn't help."
"It has been a pleasure working with Paul, my first experience with functional medicine. Paul is always thorough and supportive, encouraging me to follow my intuition. It's supportive and understanding healthcare professionals like Paul we need for real wellbeing."
"I have been to see Paul for consultation around diet and IBS related problems. I instantly felt that I can trust him and felt supported in his approach. It has been 7 weeks since I started the type of diet that he has recommended and I can feel a complete change in how I feel."
"Before meeting Paul I was overwhelmed with all of the conflicting information available. Since working with Paul, my symptoms have got better and some have completely disappeared. Paul has given me a personalised treatment plan and I no longer need to obsess over finding the answers on the internet."
"I was recommended Paul as a practitioner who really understands the complication of mold illness and through his advice I am feeling so much better 6 months later. He didn't just give advice on a few supplements but instead addressed the whole issue and gave me multiple ways to rid my body of the toxins, slowly and effectively."
"After 15 years of struggles, pain, tests for celiac, being on tablets for symptom control that did not work — as I started the gluten free diet, the improvement to my quality of life is just impossible to compare to before. My gut is fine, I am pain free and finally off the antidepressants. I only wish I found Paul sooner."
"Paul is without doubt an amazing functional practitioner. His knowledge on finding out what may be wrong and giving you the best advice with supplements and diet are outstanding. When doctors fail, the deeper issues in the biology can be addressed by Paul. Amazing!"
"Paul's knowledge is supreme. He really is a leading expert in nutrition, but it well goes beyond this. His knowledge of herbs and mould, as well as conditions including Lyme, co-infections, ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia is extraordinary. I wholeheartedly recommend Paul, particularly if you are a Lyme patient like myself."
"After many months of declining health, from the very first visit I felt more positive due to Paul's understanding, infectious enthusiasm and whole holistic approach. Paul is very easy to talk to, is extremely knowledgeable and offers a practical and manageable way forward. I cannot recommend Paul highly enough."
"My 15 month old son had severe eczema from birth. We tried everything to help it but neither medicine nor natural remedies worked. With Paul's advice and guidance, his eczema cleared up in two weeks! Truly grateful to Paul and very impressed with his knowledge and skills."
"Paul has been an incredible support to me over the last year. He has helped with my mental health and encouraged me to live a healthier, better lifestyle, which has improved my life immensely. He is smart and affable, and I would highly recommend his services."
"I sought Paul's advice on how to regain and maintain my health following treatment for breast cancer. 6 months down the line after adapting to Paul's recommendations, I have not only gained so much energy, but also have better skin, and my hair is growing back, soft and shiny. Thank you Paul, your advice was invaluable."
"My wife and I booked to see Paul after our little girl was constantly ill with ear infections. We stopped the dairy and Amelia hasn't had an ear infection since — that's two years. Paul equipped us with the correct tools to successfully make Amelia healthier and in no more pain. I highly recommend Paul to anyone."
"I felt desperate before I met Paul, my symptoms were being treated, not the cause of my problems. Paul is very knowledgeable and patient and takes the time to look at the whole of your health history to find out where things are going wrong. By following his advice, diet changes and supplements, within the first few weeks I was feeling better. After two months I felt better than I had in years."
"Paul's knowledge is exemplary. I cannot thank him enough for helping me regain my energy and zest for life! Paul was able to help me achieve my health goals and provided personalised, no nonsense, fad free nutrition advice! Working with Paul is definitely money well spent!"
"I visited Paul to check out naturopathic alternatives. His advice was incredibly effective and motivating. He doesn't just give brilliant nutritional guidance — after a careful review of your whole life circumstances he guides patients to amazing morale uplifting resources. He transformed my life by setting me on a route of continually evolving discovery and appreciation of wellness."
"Paul has really changed my life for the better. His in depth knowledge and individual research means I know what is going to be right for me. Paul's interest and enthusiasm is infectious and highly motivating. I feel really well and for the first time in many years have overcome my mental struggle with food."
"Just off Paul's diet alone I have lost now over 3 stone just by diet alone. It's not all about the weight loss however — the mental and physical vitality I have experienced is exceptional. Paul's plans are highly effective, easy to follow and no nonsense."
"Paul has helped me enormously. He has encyclopaedic knowledge PLUS an immediate empathy which when struggling with late stage cancer is a massive support."
"At 56 I thought I had a great diet but Paul helped me to lose the half stone I couldn't seem to shift. My detox and diet plan and light exercise routine have given me more energy than I had in my 20s. I feel amazing, confident and happy."
"I found great reviews on Paul and immediately booked an appointment for her. My daughter found him to be incredibly knowledgeable, intuitive and very patient. A genuinely nice man with lots of time for his patients, a real find!"
"Having heard of Paul Foley I went along to see him with regard to health issues I had been suffering for years. We identified that maybe gluten was the issue — having changed my diet the results were incredible. I cannot thank Paul enough, this has made an immense difference to my life."
"After years of suffering, within the first session Paul identified that I am intolerant to gluten. Within days of that first session, I felt so much better. Thanks to Paul's advice, I was able to lose a significant amount of weight, and keep it off. Paul is professional, kind and genuine, he cares about the people he meets."
"I came to see Paul for autoimmune support. He immediately identified my weaknesses in my diet and I trusted his knowledge. Since first seeing him in February this year I have had no more autoimmune flare ups and I'm at my ideal weight. I have no hesitations in recommending Paul Foley for thorough holistic healthcare."
"After seeing Paul, so many things made sense; why I eat the way I do, how I can make some simple changes that will transform the way I think and feel about food. There was no judgement, just lots of support and sound advice. I would highly recommend Paul for anyone a bit lost with their nutrition."
"My GP wasn't able to find the cause of my lethargy, weight gain and brain fog so I searched online for a naturopath and found Paul. Within a period of 8 weeks I had lost my puffiness and my brain fog, and had regained my 'sense of self'. It was remarkable! Paul is positive, enthusiastic and professional."
"I'd had asthma and related symptoms that just were not clearing. I followed all the advice and bought all the recommended supplements. It's wonderful to hear the functional approach and lifestyle tools are keeping me well long-term."
"I am so grateful to Paul Foley for helping me with arthritis pain and general health. He is very easy to communicate with. He has been more thorough than any Doctor I have ever seen. I can't believe how much better I feel."
"My son has an ASD diagnosis and I had a consultation from Paul. All the knowledge he passed on to us had an immense impact on my son. He is thriving a lot better now than last year. The best one was introduction of the GAPS diet and mainly the dietary changes."
"Paul Foley's advice has always been spot on and 100% trustworthy. Super experience — any healing process is slow and somewhat complex, but Paul Foley's advice has always been spot on and 100% trustworthy. Highly recommended."
"Since first getting in contact almost a year ago with several different health issues, I am almost symptom free. I couldn't have done it without my practitioner Paul. He has been really helpful in guiding me in terms of diet and lifestyle."
"Paul has been working with my mum for the past few months and the results have been miraculous. She was extremely unwell when we started and I'd say she is already back to 90% of her former self in just a few months."
"What can I say — Paul Foley gave me my life back. After nearly 4 years of pain and anguish with Lyme disease I am making a full recovery. Paul totally understands Lyme and was the first person to listen to me. He treats you as a whole person."
"I've been a client of Paul Foley for over 2 years now and he has helped me immensely. I had a complex case (mold related) and through his well rounded skill set he got to the root cause of my issues and put a strategy in place to get me better."
"I couldn't speak highly enough of Paul. I originally saw him due to severe bloating which he resolved within a matter of weeks but he also helped me with my dermographism which I've suffered from for over 15 years. I've now got it under control."
"We've been working with Paul Foley for a few months to help our nine-year-old son overcome some health issues. The transformation in such a short time has been incredible considering how poorly he was when we first approached. Following the dietary and lifestyle recommendations made a huge difference."
"I consulted Paul for some heavy metal poisoning issues that the NHS did not have the skills to address. Paul is extremely knowledgeable and at the cutting edge of Naturopathic Medicine. I found he was able to help me where the NHS couldn't."
"Paul is very knowledgeable and professional. We have seen genuine results with the protocol that he put in place for our daughter. Would highly recommend! Excellent advice and he was happy to go out of his way to help."
"LCON and their practitioners (specifically my practitioner Paul) have helped me target the roots of my symptoms and steered me away from poor lifestyle choices, giving me the best methods and guidance for finding my best self mentally and physically."
"Two years ago I was diagnosed with Lyme's disease, and shortly after looked to LCON for guidance. Through working with my practitioner Paul I have managed to target my symptoms and put Lyme's disease into remission."
"Our 4 year old son was on the autism spectrum. This is our 5th month since we started intervention with Paul Foley — the results were amazing in terms of my son's behaviour and gut issues. I feel we would not have seen the progress without Paul."
"I am extremely grateful for what I achieved here with my two year old daughter. She was diagnosed with Candida overgrowth since she was 4 months old and we tried everything. After her appointments with Paul she is doing so well."
"I first saw Paul Foley after developing a sudden and severe onset of illness. Over a period of time working with Paul I saw remarkable improvement."
"Paul listened carefully to my concerns and recommended a number of tests that uncovered key abnormalities. He developed a plan that is helping. It's wonderful to feel supported by a qualified consultant for any future concerns."
"During a routine appointment with my MS nurse, she commented on how good my MRI images looked and even had to zoom in to locate some of the older lesions because they had reduced so much. Some were no longer visible. I'm incredibly grateful for Paul's thoughtful guidance throughout this process."
"I have been seeing Paul since my little boy was first born 8 years ago and I trust him with my life. He is my go to and is so full of knowledge. I highly recommend."
"Paul has been incredible throughout the whole process. He really goes above and beyond to understand the root causes rather than just focusing on symptoms. I'm now in a place where I feel much more like myself again. I have more energy than I've had in a long time, my autoimmune symptoms have eased and I feel like I truly understand my body. I would recommend Paul to anyone."

These are the patterns Paul sees most. If several of these describe you, functional medicine may be exactly what's been missing.
Book a Clarity Call →Who I Help
Most people who come to me have already seen several practitioners without lasting results. That's exactly where functional medicine starts.
Persistent tiredness, post-exertional crashes, burnout patterns, and ME/CFS — including mould and mycotoxin-related fatigue.
IBS, SIBO, bloating, food intolerances, leaky gut, microbiome imbalance, and chronic digestive discomfort.
Depression, anxiety, brain fog, mood instability, methylation dysfunction, and the biological drivers behind mental health.
Thyroid conditions, PCOS, perimenopause, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and unexplained weight gain.
Hashimoto's, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), inflammatory conditions, immune dysregulation, and recurring infections that won't resolve.
Mould toxicity, heavy metals, Lyme disease, and the chronic multi-system symptoms that follow environmental exposure.
The Process
Every programme begins the same way — with comprehensive testing and a genuine conversation about what's really going on.
A 15-minute conversation to understand your situation, answer your questions, and confirm that functional medicine is the right fit for you.
15 Minutes →A thorough 90-minute intake covering your full history, timeline, and symptoms. Not a 10-minute appointment — a proper clinical conversation about your whole picture.
90 minutesBlood panels, stool analysis, hair mineral testing, methylation, mycotoxins — the tests that reveal what standard medicine misses.
Evidence-basedA step-by-step plan built entirely around your results, your biology, and your life. Nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle — nothing generic.
Fully bespokeRegular follow-up consultations to review progress, retest where needed, and adapt your programme as your health improves.
