The Root Cause Often Starts in Your Metabolism
Have you been told your blood pressure is creeping up, your cholesterol is high, or you’re “pre-diabetic”?Most people are told to “just lose weight” — but not given the tools to succeed. That leaves you anxious about your future risk of many health conditions, like high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, diabetes or fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
The truth? These are not isolated problems. They’re all signs of metabolic dysfunction — the hidden engine driving weight gain and chronic disease. Unless you fix the root cause, you’ll only be patching symptoms.
Your Health Is a System, Not a Symptom
When your metabolism is out of balance, it sets off a domino effect across your whole body.
Do these signs and symptoms sound familiar?
High blood pressure (hypertension) 🚨
High cholesterol or poor lipid ratios
Pre-diabetes or rising HbA1c
Fatty Liver not related to alcohol use (NAFLD)
Family history of heart disease or stroke
Stubborn belly fat (a warning sign of insulin resistance)
👉 If you have more than one of these signs, it’s time to act before small problems turn into lifelong illness.
The Holistic GP Method: Clinical Precision Meets Functional Nutrition
At The Holistic GP Clinic, we go deeper. Our doctor-led method identifies and resolves the underlying metabolic chaos so your health markers improve naturally.
1. The Doctor-Led Diagnostic Deep Dive
We go far beyond standard NHS checks. Using advanced testing, we assess:
Insulin resistance and blood sugar control
Inflammation and cardiovascular risk markers
Advanced cholesterol (lipid subfractions)
Liver function and fatty liver risk
This blueprint helps us pinpoint why your numbers are rising.
2. Functional Nutritional Therapy Protocol
Using a “food as medicine” approach, we design a plan to:
Lower blood pressure naturally
Optimise cholesterol ratios and protect your arteries
Reverse insulin resistance to control blood sugar
Reduce fat storage in your liver
No fad diets. No one-size-fits-all advice. Only strategies designed for your metabolism.
3. Supported Implementation & Coaching
You won’t be left to figure it out alone. Our expert team provides accountability, motivation, and expert coaching to help you build habits that last.
This Isn’t Disease Management. This is Health Creation.
Imagine:
Your blood pressure, cholesterol, and HbA1c improving at your next GP check.
More energy, less brain fog, and fewer sugar crashes.
Harmful visceral fat melting away as your metabolism resets.
Peace of mind knowing you’ve reduced your risk of heart disease and stroke.
💬 “My GP put me on statins and blood pressure meds and just said ‘see you in 6 months’. I felt powerless. The Holistic GP Clinic found insulin resistance was driving everything. Now my blood pressure is normal, my cholesterol has transformed, and my GP is considering reducing my meds.” — David F, 58

Your Questions, Answered
Can this help with high blood pressure, diabetes, or fatty liver?
Yes. These conditions are strongly linked to insulin resistance and inflammation. By addressing these root causes, many clients see measurable improvements.
Will I need to stop medication?
No. We never advise stopping medication without your GP. Our goal is to improve your health so that your GP may reduce medication when safe.
Is this scientifically validated?
Absolutely. Our approach is grounded in evidence-based functional medicine, with strong research supporting nutrition and lifestyle as drivers of metabolic health.
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No. We can order advanced testing directly, and we’re happy to collaborate with your GP.
Are consultations in person?
Yes — we offer both in-clinic appointments in Cheshire and secure video consultations UK-wide.
Do you prescribe GLP-1 medications (such as Wegovy or Ozempic)?
Yes — but only when clinically appropriate and always as part of a wider plan. At The Holistic GP Clinic, we don’t see GLP-1 medications (like Wegovy or Ozempic) as a magic bullet. They can be a useful adjunct for certain patients, especially where weight and metabolic risks are high, but they are not the first or only step.
Our focus is on restoring metabolic health at the root cause — balancing hormones, blood sugar, gut health, and lifestyle. For some people, GLP-1s can act as a short-term bridge while those deeper changes are taking hold. If we do prescribe them, it is always:
Following a doctor-led assessment of your risks, history, and goals
In combination with a personalised nutrition and lifestyle programme
With ongoing monitoring of your health markers and side-effects
With a plan for long-term maintenance once medication is stopped
💡 In other words: we use GLP-1s as a tool, not a crutch — and only when they are safe, effective, and part of a comprehensive strategy for lasting health.
