Please read this before booking a call. It covers the fees, what the work involves, and whether this is likely to be the right fit for you. The goal is that you arrive on the call with no unanswered questions about the process.
Paul does not offer general wellness advice. He works with people who have a specific health objective — and are serious about reaching it.
Paul takes on a deliberately limited number of new clients at any one time, so that every case receives the depth of clinical attention this work requires.
Entering a functional medicine process is, for many people, one of the most thorough health investigations they will ever undertake. In the initial consultation we cover your history in a level of detail and precision that few other therapeutic approaches attempt — from neonatal period and early life through to the present day. Inflection points, exposures, illnesses, antibiotics, significant stressors, the sequence of how symptoms emerged. The order of events often matters as much as the events themselves.
I have written this page so you can get a clear sense of what the journey looks like before we speak — and so you can decide whether it feels like the right next step for you. I look forward to our call: to hearing what has brought you here, and to beginning to weave together a clinical picture that could help you reach the outcomes you are looking for.
— Paul
This call is not a mini-consultation. Paul will not give clinical opinions, interpret results, or suggest investigations during it. It is a focused conversation to establish clinical fit — before either of you commits further time. There is no obligation to proceed.
From first contact to a working clinical programme — eight steps. You are at step one.
Laboratory investigations and supplements, if recommended, are costed separately and discussed before anything is ordered. There are no hidden charges.
Supplements are a key part of most treatment programmes. They are sourced privately, and full instruction is given on product, source and dose.
A typical engagement over the first 3–4 months involves the initial consultation and two to three follow-up appointments — from £1,000 in professional fees. Laboratory testing, where clinically justified, is costed separately and agreed before anything is ordered (typically £300–£1,200).
If this level of investment isn't realistic right now, The Root Cause Letter is the right place to start.
