Private Functional Medicine Consultations
A medically led, whole-body approach for patients struggling with ongoing symptoms, chronic health concerns and unexplained issues.
Led by Dr Mehrdad Bordbar (GMC: 7456052), Olivine Clinic combines conventional medical expertise with Functional Medicine principles to investigate why symptoms may be occurring, not simply manage them in isolation.
Using extended consultations, advanced diagnostics and personalised treatment strategies, we help patients gain a deeper understanding of their long-term health.

What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a patient-centred, science-based approach that looks at how different systems within the body interact and influence long-term health.
Rather than focusing solely on isolated symptoms, this approach explores potential contributing factors such as nutrition, gut health, sleep, stress, inflammation and lifestyle alongside conventional medical assessment.
At Olivine Clinic, Functional Medicine is always grounded in evidence-based healthcare and integrated safely within traditional medical practice.
Who is this Service For?

Microba is Revolutionary
Unlike many standard gut health tests, Microba uses advanced metagenomic sequencing technology to analyse the gut microbiome in far greater detail.
Rather than simply identifying broad groups of bacteria, this technology provides a much more comprehensive picture of the bacteria present within the digestive system and how they may be influencing digestion, inflammation, immunity and overall wellbeing.
This allows for a more personalised and targeted approach when recommending nutrition, lifestyle and supportive treatment strategies.
How This Can Help Chronic Symptoms
For patients experiencing ongoing digestive issues, fatigue, bloating, brain fog or unexplained health concerns, deeper microbiome analysis can sometimes help identify underlying patterns and contributing factors that may otherwise be missed.
Combined with a detailed clinical assessment, this information may help guide a more personalised, evidence-informed strategy to support long-term health and symptom management.
