Restorative Health & Functional Medicine
A Personalised Approach to Whole Health, Especially for Women Living Complex Lives
Modern life can be demanding — emotionally, physically, hormonally. For many women — particularly those in the public eye, senior leadership roles, creative industries, or high-net-worth families — the external appearance of success often masks an internal struggle with energy, vitality, hormonal balance, and wellbeing.
At BTB, we recognise that true health is far more than the absence of illness. It’s about restoring the body’s natural balance, vitality, and resilience. This is the heart of our Restorative Health & Functional Medicine programme.
Designed with sensitivity, privacy, and precision, our approach brings together advanced functional medicine with compassionate, deeply personalised care — particularly for women navigating the layered pressures of modern life.
What Is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a science-backed, integrative approach to health that looks beneath surface symptoms to uncover the root causes of physical, hormonal, emotional, and metabolic imbalance.
Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, functional medicine examines:
- Nutrition and gut health
- Hormonal and thyroid function
- Endocrine system balance
- Stress response and adrenal health
- Sleep patterns
- Inflammation and immune function
- Environmental and lifestyle factors
- Emotional wellbeing and trauma history
This whole-person lens is especially powerful for women whose health concerns are often minimised or misunderstood in traditional settings.

Why This Approach Matters — Especially for Women
Women’s health is complex, layered, and deeply impacted by hormones and lifestyle. For women in the public eye, in positions of leadership, or living within high-net-worth family systems, the challenge is amplified by:
- Relentless stress
- Image and performance pressures
- Disrupted routines and sleep from travel
- The emotional toll of high visibility or constant responsibility

"When I arrived in Barbados, I did not want to see or speak with anyone due to my severe anxiety and depression. I have been suffering for 10 years, and nothing has worked. The team in Barbados lfound that I had been suffering from an undiagnosed medical problem causing hormonal issues alongside some psychological issues. After 6 weeks of care, compassion, and extraordinary therapy I finally have my life back thanks to this amazing team. I even went on a jet ski for the first time ever!"
"I have literally been pulled out of the gutter (I stopped enroute from the airport to be sick – ask Karen). I found any sort of treatment so difficult to begin with and being asked to work with horses was a little confusing, but I trusted Karen, and the team so went with it. After 5 weeks of extraordinary therapy and embracing the programme, my whole outlook has changed. I had never eaten anything green before and never exercised! But now I have a healthy food plan and a physical exercise regime and I can even run for a short while. I also have an amazing tan and look and feel great and the therapy has really helped me put things in perspective. After all my paranoia about being seen, I now hope the paparazzi are at the airport for my journey home!"
