How We Work Together: A Functional Medicine Approach

Are you tired of suffering from ongoing symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, chronic pain, allergies and poor gut health?

Do you feel as though conventional medicine has been unable to get to the root cause of your symptoms? Dr Margarita is uniquely positioned to guide you back to optimal health and wellbeing so that you can start feeling like you again. With over 10 years of clinical experience as a GP and extensive functional medicine postgraduate training, Dr Margarita provides evidence-based and personalised, holistic treatment plans based on your individual needs.

Start feeling like yourself again

Founded by Dr. Kitova-John, Lantern Clinic has grown to include a diverse team of functional practitioners dedicated to your health and well-being. When you start a treatment plan with us, you will receive undivided attention and support throughout your journey to better health.

Your treatment plan will be completely personalised, designed around your individual symptoms and health history. We believe that no two patients are alike, and your care will reflect that.

If evidence-based, innovative functional testing is appropriate, Dr. Kitova-John or one of our practitioners will recommend it only if it is key to uncovering the root cause of your symptoms. We ensure all testing is relevant and purposeful.

Our team takes a lean, targeted approach to supplementation and medication, ensuring that only what’s truly necessary is prescribed to support your recovery. We focus on wider lifestyle interventions, including nutrition, movement, stress management, and sleep optimisation, to support your overall health and long-term wellness.

At Lantern Clinic, we are committed to helping you achieve optimal health and wellness. We ask for your full dedication to this journey as we work together to reach your health goals.

Not sure which plan is for you?

After 10 years of searching for an answer to an answer to my gut problem, chronic pain and fatigue, I found the answer in Dr Margarita. After being told by the NHS and private consultants that they couldn’t find a problem, certainly one which could be fixed surgically, I was beginning to question my sanity! Finding and meeting Dr Margarita was the last roll of the dice for me.
