Functional Medicine
with Mirthe Eckl
Optimise your Health with a Science and Lab Based 360 Approach.
Taking more responsibility for your own health has never been more important, although the ways we can learn more about our body’s needs has multiplied, with direct to consumer blood testing and all sorts of health advice on the internet. You know you should be eating your greens, getting more sleep, reduce stress and exercise, supplement with vitamin D during winter.
But how do you know you are doing it right?
We have partnered up with Mirthe Precision Health Ltd to take the guesswork out of healthy living for you with a lab testing and science based analysis and protocol, bespoke to you.
Functional Medicine is a personalised, lab and science-based approach that seeks to find and address the underlying causes of disease and decline, and to promote optimal health long-term.
It relies on a detailed understanding of each person’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and leverages that data to create strategic personalised treatment or prevention plans. By evaluating a matrix of fundamental causes, we aim to find the roots of pathophysiology, leading to earlier and more effective interventions that not only extend lives but also support optimal wellbeing in those additional years.
The result is an ever-evolving, cutting-edge, systems-biology approach to health that treats each person as a whole. No longer is one seen purely through the lens of a dysfunctional organ system, a disease, or a syndrome, and only addressed once an illness has already established itself, but instead as a person who can be helped on the path to optimal wellness.
You received your lab results back and your doctor says they are fine?
That is great news, however, we take it one step further.
Did you know that most of the lab reference ranges used are based on an average of the population? Not an average of optimally healthy, thriving individuals, but of your average Joe, who may already be pre-diabetic, have high blood pressure, and on their way to a chronic problem in a few years time.
Precision Health Optimisation will look at your conventional blood tests and place them into narrower reference ranges, distinguishing between optimal and suboptimal, look at them through the Functional Medicine 360 degree lens, and give targeted dietary, lifestyle and supplement strategies bespoke to you.
Note: All consultations can be done in person at our Notting Hill Centre, or worldwide online via Zoom.
I just wanted to say how amazing I feel… like a new woman… 10 years younger! I have lost probably about a stone in weight and love eating all the good stuff, plus full of energy! - Nicky

Do you have a health concern you would like to find and address the root cause for, or would simply like more depth to your prevention strategy?
Dive into your health history, symptoms and goals, decide on specialised testing* such as food allergies, hormones, gut microbiome, heavy metal load and more.
Initial Consultation Includes:
- Up to 100 minutes consultation
- Deep dive into health history, concerns, goals and any previous test results (if present)

- Preliminary bespoke diet, lifestyle & supplement protocol
This will be refined and made more bespoke once testing is back.
Follow Up Strategy Consultation - £250
Discussion of new test results, adjustment of protocol & strategy accordingly.
If there are several test results and/or you have many questions, we might have to schedule several consultations to get through it all.
This can often be the case if people are very well educated in that matter already and have very in depth questions, or on the contrary too, if the person is very new to and unfamiliar with healthy habits.
(Once test results are back)
- Up to 70 minutes
- Discussion of test results and refined strategy
- Updated protocol
It is very common for questions to pop up over the course of the initial months.
In order to easily navigate the new diet and lifestyle, weekly/ fortnightly or at the very least monthly support calls are highly recommended.
This is to avoid you becoming overwhelmed, discouraged, forget why we decided on certain strategies, and ultimately 'fall off the wagon
Q&A’s / Support & Educational consultations - £150
It is very common for questions to pop up over the course of the initial months.
In order to easily navigate the new diet and lifestyle, weekly/ fortnightly or at the very least monthly support & educational consultations are highly recommended.
This is to avoid you becoming overwhelmed, discouraged, forget why we decided on certain strategies, and ultimately 'fall off the wagon'. I will also educate you on different topics for you to get a better understanding of why we are doing certain things and for a more comprehensive lifestyle overhaul from all angles, which is most often needed for healing to occur and health to persist if health span optimisation is your goal.
These sessions do NOT include changes to the protocol/ ordering new labs/ supplements etc. If these are required, it will have to be charged as a strategy call as it will require Mirthe to spend time after the consultation to prepare this bespokely for you.
How do I organise my own Test Results?
For ‘normal blood tests’, you can bring your latest annual test results that you have done via your GP or a private provider. Optionally (UK only) we can organise a blood draw kit to be sent to you to take to a local nurse - to be paid privately.
Some examples of costs when booked by us include:
Basic health check panel with 55 biomarkers £280
Food allergies and intolerances test kit £299
Urine heavy metal test £100
Some specialty tests such as food allergies, gut microbiome, heavy metals etc will be discussed and posted to you, to be done by yourself at home (available worldwide).
Have any questions?
EmailI had been struggling with IBS for so many years, and tried many diets and approaches, but nothing helped. Every night I was in so much pain, and it really impacted my social life. Within only days of changing to Mirthe’s suggestions, it almost miraculously cleared up, and has been gone pretty much since. - Nicole
