Cellular energy
Mitochondria turn food into energy. Infections, nutrient gaps and inflammation can slow them down.
The brain–body–mind connection
Our Philosophy
Your energy depends on three connected systems. When one struggles, the others feel it, which is why fatigue so often comes with brain fog, pain, poor sleep and low mood.
Three systems
Three systems, one energy
Brain
Focus, memory and mental stamina. A tired brain struggles with load, light and noise, and needs longer to recover.
Body
Cellular energy production, thyroid and adrenal hormones, blood sugar, iron and nutrients, the immune system, inflammation and the gut.
Mind
Stress, mood and sleep. After illness or burnout, the nervous system can stay stuck in "alert", draining energy around the clock.
Fatigue rarely has one cause. That is why we look at all three.
Where energy goes
Why rest alone often isn't enough
Persistent fatigue is usually kept going by several drivers at once. Finding them is the first step to recovery.
Immune signals
Ongoing inflammation after infection sends "sickness" signals to the brain that leave you foggy and drained.
Blood sugar & hormones
Swings in blood sugar and changes in thyroid, adrenal and sex hormones cause energy crashes and poor sleep.
The nervous system
A stress response stuck on high alert disrupts sleep, digestion and pain processing.
Three disciplines
How we work
Functional Medicine
A whole-system approach to root causes. We ask why your energy has dropped, then use detailed testing to find out.
Functional Neurology
Assessing how the brain and nervous system are coping, with gentle, paced rehabilitation that respects your limits.
Lifestyle Medicine
Sleep, nutrition, pacing and stress support, so improvements last beyond the treatment plan.
In line with NICE guidance for ME/CFS, we never use graded exercise therapy. Activity advice is built around energy management, so you stay within what your body can recover from.
Working together
Alongside your GP, never instead of them
We don't diagnose disease or replace medical care. With your permission, we share our written report with your GP or consultant, and we never ask you to stop prescribed medication without speaking to your prescriber.
01
Find the drivers
The Brain Performance Analysis, a full history, validated screening and targeted lab testing.
02
Act on them
One written plan covering sleep, nutrition, pacing, stress and targeted supplements.
03
Track progress
Follow-on support and retesting against your baseline.
Close to home
This approach, close to home in Cheshire
From our base in Macclesfield we see people from Macclesfield, Cheshire and anywhere in the UK, with all consultations online. Many people with severe fatigue prefer online appointments, and the process is the same either way.
Not sure where to start?
The Brain Performance Analysis takes about 12 minutes online and scores eight areas, from mental stamina to sleep. Your £12 is refunded in full when you book a Discovery Consultation.
