As an NHS GP, Asha has a wealth of experience in General Practice and Acute Medicine. She spends her working time as a GP partner in her local town and is the medical director of her lifestyle medicine practice, which was launched in 2017. Qualifying as a medical in 1996, and a GP in 2004, she has spent several years learning the art of medicine, through her NHS work in numerous hospitals around London and within Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, as well as time spent in Australia.  Born out of a frustration with the conventional approach to chronic health and a belief in good nutrition being the foundation of good health (growing as much meat, eggs, fruit and vegetables as she can herself), she has developed a grounding (AFMCP 2017) and comprehensive understanding in Functional Medicine. Alongside this education, and the experience in the differences that can be made by introducing changes to lifestyle factors that can fundamentally improve all aspects of chronic health and in particular gut health, she continues to offer a scientifically based holistic approach to health and vitality and will help empower clients to take back control of their wellness. Outside of work, Asha is a busy mother of two girls, a runner and yoga participant. To help her relax and sleep well she can often be found in the polytunnel at home or in the kitchen. Find out more about her here: www.drashaherbert.life
