It’s 3 pm and like clockwork, you notice that you suddenly feel tired, sluggish, irritated, and ready for bed.
You’ve tried everything and yet the scale still won’t budge. This can sometimes make you feel hopelessly frustrated.
Your lab work is “normal” but you know you should be feeling better. Right?
Your hormones are a hot mess and you don’t even know where to begin to balance them.
All day long you dream about going to bed, but when it’s finally bedtime you suddenly have a burst of energy and can’t fall asleep.
You have chronic inflammation and pain that is preventing you from living life on your terms.
You’re exasperated by the overwhelming amount of seemingly conflicting “health” information everywhere, making you wonder how on earth you are supposed to eat, sleep, and move your body in the “correct” way.
If you can relate to any of these, you are going to LOVE the freeing and life-giving habits you will easily be able to incorporate into your daily life from The Living Light Reset™ Program!
Does any of this sound familiar?
Imagine Your Life Where..
You lose 20+ lbs in just 6 weeks and feel better than you did in your 20s, even if you’ve tried everything and nothing has worked.
You get to play with your kids, grandkids or nieces/nephews and pick him up without worrying about aches and pains.
You get a full night’s sleep and wake up 5 minutes before your alarm goes off feeling calm, well rested, and ready to take on the day.
You combat stress and find inner peace even in the most challenging situations.
You understand your emotional patterns and how to avoid triggers that make you reactive or explode on those around you.
You catch your reflection in the mirror as you walk down the hall, pause, smile, and think, “Heck yes! I look good!”
You balance your hormones and say goodbye to that stubborn belly fat for good.
You walk up the stairs or run 5K without wincing because of knee or back pain.
You say goodbye to inconsistent bowel movements that leave you feeling bloated and sluggish.

Let’s begin this incredible journey today!
My name is Margarita Kitova-John, and I’m here to help you reclaim your health and live your most vibrant, fulfilling life!
After more than a decade as a front-line GP in the NHS, I saw the limitations of conventional medicine. That’s when I discovered the principles of Functional Medicine and witnessed the incredible power of the body to heal itself—without relying on pills.
I believe that learning how to be truly healthy is far more valuable than a quick fix. Building healthy habits creates a lasting transformation that stays with you for life!
To support this journey, we offer Personalised Functional Medicine plans and holistic GP appointments.
In collaboration with Dr Sachin Patel from the Living Institute we bring you the Living Light Metabolic Reset Program—a proven approach designed to empower you to take charge of your health.
Are you struggling with a digestive health problem that just won’t seem to go away?
Have you tried various therapies and medicines in the hopes of finding relief, only to be left disappointed time and time again?
Are you tired of relying on pharmaceuticals to address issues like sleep deprivation, low energy, anxiety, and constant discomfort?
Do you feel like your doctor is only focused on managing your symptoms, rather than uncovering the root cause of your condition?
What Problems Do We Treat?
-
The gastrointestinal system is our major interface to the outside world. It is our first line of defence internally, the place where our first exposure happens and where we decide if we are immune-tolerant of the world or inflamed by the world.
We can work with you to investigate your gut health issues and uncover the real cause of your symptoms.
-
At Lantern Clinic, we view common conditions such as PCOS, Endometriosis, and Perimenopause as signs of underlying hormonal imbalances rather than distinct, isolated conditions. Our approach delves deeper into the intricate hormonal pathways, analysing the complex hormonal cascade to uncover the root causes. We are fortunate to offer innovative, high-end hormonal testing, such as the DUTCH test, which provides detailed insights into hormone function. Dr. Kitova-John has extensive experience with body-identical hormones and natural menopause herbal therapies. At Lantern Clinic, you won’t just receive a prescription; you’ll be provided with a personalised solution and treatment plan designed to support your unique hormonal health.

The human immune system is complex and powerful, constantly working to distinguish between friend and foe. The gastrointestinal tract, as the largest surface organ in the body, serves as a primary defence line, with a significant portion of the immune system concentrated there. However, this system doesn't always function perfectly. In autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism for example or rheumatological diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis), and autoimmune skin conditions (like psoriasis), the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues, leading to chronic inflammation and damage. Increasing evidence shows a strong connection between gut health and these autoimmune disorders, suggesting that addressing gut health can be a key component in managing these conditions and improving overall health outcomes.
-
At Lantern Clinic, we don’t accept that heart attacks (MI), strokes(CVA), or even dementia are simply down to bad luck. We take a functional approach, recognising the interplay between genetic predisposition and environmental factors, also known as the exposome. This includes lifestyle, diet, and stress—all of which play a role in cardiovascular health and, increasingly, in the progression of conditions like dementia. By addressing these influences through a holistic approach, we aim to reduce future risks and optimise your long-term health outcomes, offering personalised strategies to improve heart and brain health.
-
Obesity and diabetes are complex conditions rooted in metabolic and hormonal imbalances. Obesity, in particular, drives insulin resistance, which not only increases the risk of diabetes but also raises the likelihood of cancer. Chronic inflammation often accompanies these imbalances, further complicating the picture. At Lantern Clinic, we take a functional approach, focusing on identifying the underlying imbalances, such as insulin resistance and inflammation. We utilise advanced functional testing, including Metabolomix and Theriome, to gain deeper insights into your health. By pinpointing key triggers and mediators, we aim to help the body regain balance, reduce inflammation, and support long-term health.
-
Low testosterone and erectile dysfunction (ED) are common concerns that can significantly impact men’s health and quality of life. From a functional perspective, ED is often an early sign of cardiovascular disease, making it crucial to address the root causes early. At Lantern Clinic, we offer a holistic approach through our Testosterone-enhancing lifestyle program, delivering transformative results for men. This includes access to our Emsella treatment, designed to improve pelvic floor health and sexual function. Dr. Kitova-John has extensive clinical experience in sexual health and combines conventional medication, lifestyle modifications, and holistic health advice to provide comprehensive, personalised care for men.

Testimonials
“An excellent experience with the Lantern Clinic. Dr. Margarita is an encouraging practitioner with an
insightful understanding of the client’s needs. She listens fully and carefully responding accordingly. The Functional Health Transformation Package was an in-depth experience guided by Dr. Margarita. I felt supported each step of the way taking the natural supplements and following a bespoke efficient protocol on this healing pathway. I cannot recommend the Lantern Clinic and the wonderfully inspirational Dr. Margarita highly enough.”
