The Practice
Health Mission
Dr Brown's belief is that everyone deserves optimal health. Functional Medicine embraces the challenge of identifying root causes of symptoms and addressing those, rather than suppression of symptoms using pharmaceuticals. Unless you address the underlying cause of ill-health, you may never achieve optimal health. Dr Brown would be delighted to work with you to uncover your underlying health issues and walk with you on the path to optimal health. Dr Brown is an Holistic Psychiatrist as well as being a Functional Medicine doctor. She believes in the body's innate ability to heal when given the correct conditions and support.
Experience and Professionalism
Dr Brown qualified in medicine from the University of Edinburgh in 2003. She has worked within the field of psychiatry since 2004 and is a metabolic psychiatrist, with specialist training in the use of metabolic treatments for mental health. Dr Brown is also a certified functional medical practitioner and believes passionately that the body needs to be considered as a whole when dealing with any symptoms of ill-health. She is delighted to be able to practice functional medicine with everything it can offer both for mental health and any other physical health complaints that you may have. This includes consideration of circadian health as well as metabolism, genetic variations, underlying infections and toxicities. Additionally Dr Brown has a keen interest in medical ethics and holds a master degree qualification in medical laws and ethics from the University of Edinburgh.
Dr Brown is a member of the British Society for Ecological Medicine and the Institute of Functional Medicine as well as being a Nutrition Network Advisor.
