About Us
Dr Shilpa Davé
MBBS BSc MRCGP DFSRH
My roots in Indian tradition and ayurvedic medicine had always fascinated me and I discovered Functional Medicine as I sought out strategies for coping and recovery from my own health challenges. As a Functional Medicine Practitioner my goals for my patients are to use lifestyle factors, nutrition and wellbeing as treatments alongside the latest conventional medical guidelines.

Functional medicine can be very suitable for conditions that relate to inflammation and more fundamental body systems good examples include:
- Digestive problems
- Human issues such as menopause polycystic ovarian syndrome
- Skin issues such as eczema
- Mental health problems
- Thyroid disease
- Fatigue and burnout
Choose either: Core, Comprehensive, Platinum or Platinum FDX.
As well as taking standard measurements such as BMI, our comprehensive body composition analysis allows you to understand your baseline %body fat, bone and muscle mass, to help you build health goals which are tailored to you. We also include an ECG as well as a cervical smear for female patients.
Many patients want a simple suite of blood tests to screen for common conditions, others need or prefer more in depth analysis for example vitamin and mineral analysis. For some patients specific health concerns might drive more complex testing such as:
- Detailed hormone analysis for the menopause
- FDX biomarker blood testing
- Genova Diagnostic stool testing
- DUTCH hormone testing
- Allergy testing
- DATAR clinical genetics liquid biopsy (in association with cancer specialist)
If we identify a serious medical condition we will treat it immediately or refer you quickly to one of our preferred specialists. Common referrals include, breast, gynaecology, dermatology, cardiology and gastroenterology.
We work closely with local specialists and with centres of excellence such as the Cromwell Hospital, where more specialised tests or expertise can be offered if needed.
We complete your health screen by working with you to highlight priorities for your health and then, if you wish, we will also help you agree and set personal health goals. Some patients may want to engage with personal training while others take up yoga or breathing and mindfulness sessions. Others embark on a functional medicine journey working with our Nutritional Therapists to address key health concerns. Examples of conditions where a Functional Medicine approach is considered include:
- Food intolerances and digestive problems
- Thyroid disorders
- Menopause
- Skin problems
- Mental health issues
- Fatigue and burnout

Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture
Dr Yen Yen Khor Dr Yen Yen’s special interests are women’s health and sexual health. She also uses her knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture to help patients in many other health areas.
At the follow up appointment many patients simply are reassured and discharged. For some patients who tests reveal medical conditions we may recommend further tests.
A good example of this is the Cardioscan myPatch remote Holter device. More information about the myPatch device can be found here. Some patients will need referral to a specialist, and we may make suggestions for more detailed testing (such as gut testing). Our platinum health screens include a 60 minute appointment to review the results of your FDX biomarker panel blood tests. The FDX test results and comprehensive report usually take 3 weeks to come back as the report is very detailed.
Some will choose to use our wellness team to pursue their health goals and improve their overall health and you can book appointments for personal training, Yoga or Nutritional therapy once your health screen results have been discussed with you.
