Functional Medicine Practitioner

Natalia Otero Sancho

Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner (IFMCP) & Nutritional Therapist BSc (Hons), MBANT

Member of CNHC, IFM, IMI, and the British Society of Anti-Ageing Medicine

Natalia specialises in gut health, hormonal and cardiovascular balance, and longevity, helping clients understand how nutrition, lifestyle, genetics, and environmental factors interact to shape long-term well-being.

Her philosophy is to see every client as a whole person, addressing underlying causes of imbalance rather than simply managing symptoms.

She works collaboratively with medical and holistic specialists, including doctors, physiotherapists, counsellors, and wellness practitioners, integrating functional and conventional approaches to provide comprehensive, evidence-based, personalised care.

Her clinical focus includes women’s health and menopause, as well as men’s cardiometabolic health, addressing issues such as lipid imbalance (e.g., elevated LDL cholesterol or altered lipoprotein profiles), elevated blood pressure, insulin resistance, and stress-related fatigue. These concerns are addressed within a collaborative, integrative framework alongside the medical team, ensuring appropriate clinical oversight while focusing on modifiable lifestyle and metabolic drivers.

Natalia places strong emphasis on practicality and long-term sustainability. Her recommendations are tailored to each person’s daily routine, preferences, and life circumstances, ensuring they are realistic and achievable. She also aims to empower clients to better understand their bodies and develop the skills to adapt their nutrition, lifestyle, breathing techniques, and supplementation over time, fostering lasting self-care and resilience beyond the consultation process.
