Frequently Asked Questions
A Holistic GP combines traditional medical expertise with integrative, patient-centred approaches to health, addressing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Unlike a regular GP, who typically focuses on diagnosing and treating symptoms, a holistic GP digs deeper to uncover the root causes of health issues, such as chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalances, or poor gut health. By integrating natural therapies, lifestyle changes, and preventative care alongside conventional medicine, a holistic GP provides a comprehensive approach to improving overall well-being, supporting long-term health, and optimising vitality.
