Rohan is a functional medicine practitioner with over 13 years of clinical experience, focused on uncovering and treating the root causes of chronic and complex health issues rather than simply managing symptoms. He has a particular interest in gut health, using detailed clinical assessment alongside advanced functional testing, including stool and microbiome analysis, to better understand issues such as bloating, digestive irregularities, food sensitivities, and gut-related fatigue. Rohan works closely with patients who have often tried multiple approaches without success, taking time to interpret results in clear, practical language and developing personalised, realistic treatment plans that support lasting improvement rather than generic protocols.
