Update for 2025

Oct 2025 I have alot of requests for appointments at the moment. Cancellation list in place. I am booked up a month in advance. When you are ready to book in, email my secretary ei.tugruoyhtiwog@ofni the dates and times that suit you and have €100 deposit ready to pay online via revolut or bank IBAN or card. You are welcome to book a single 1 hour & 15 min appointment for a “general health consultation” anytime for €250 and only 1 area like digestion can be discussed for example. You not obligated to go ahead with any further appointments or protocals. Just let me know this when you book in. To make long lasting progress you’ll need to commit to testing and protocals -see fees list.  I cannot book anyone into my diary without a booking deposit. I work half days with clients and I am doing continous study and courses up to 3 hours a day. I also lecture, visit doctors and primary care to educate and im doing a mentorship with a naturopathic doctor so im extremely busy. Appointments can be online via zoom, skype, google meets, microsoft teams or watsapp video as I do not examine you physically or they can be face to face at F91A2V5 in Sligo

The first consultation includes me getting your full medical history, reviewing any bloods, previous functional tests, your current diet/lifestyle/medication/supplements, giving nutrition, mental health stress management advice, advising how liver and other organs are effecting your health, discussing what we need to look at, what tests, medication and hormonal approaches may be needed to healing and ordering of any tests as well as referral letters for your gastroenterologist or GP for bloods 

Fiona Murphy ADFNP, MSc, BSc, CIDESCO Based In Sligo Healing clients skin gut hormones all over IRELAND, UK, EUROPE AND USA since 2009

I am training to be a functional medicine naturopathic doctor, Im not a medical doctor. Im a root cause functional scientist and iv a long 25 year history of dealing with my own gut health, mental health, skin health and hormonal health issues and healing for a decade. I bridge the gap between the medical and the holistic health models covering areas within my scope of functional medicine, nutritional approaches, holistic treatments, some parts of gastroenterology, endocrinology, mental health, I discuss medication and psychotherapy approaches within psychiatry to calm the enteric nervous system. I teach you how the body works, how to selfcare,  how to heal yourself from the inside out. I also advise or holistic, alternative or unorthodox practices that work to heal the body

There is no point coming to me unless you are ready to invest some time in looking after yourself, allow an hour or more in your day to make necessary changes,  slow down the pace of your life, are ready to change some lifestyle habits, maybe some dietary changes, do a couple of tests and commit to following through with supplements for 1-2 years. Disease doesnt arrive overnight so it doesnt resolve overnight either. Food & Exercise is only a small part of what i recommend. I generally dont recommend supplement heavy protocals (Max 10 daily) because of how they weigh on the liver-the important detoxification pathway of the body. Wellness is not a quick fix as many systems in the body have to be addressed to get well. I help you work on your digestion, absorption, detoxification pathways, your lymphatic, adrenal, enteric nervous system to help your body recover from illness that begins in the gut. It takes time to get ones body into healing mode, it took me 3 years in total to get my gut well and i had a 10 year journey in total to recover from chronic stress numerous deficiencies fatigue, poor sleep and anxiety. I will only work with you if you are serious about taking your health in your hands and if life is too busy maybe just mention this at the start of your appointment so I can address only a select few things for you to do at home and recommend minimal supplements that will have maximum effect

I am available by phonecall, watsapp, or text to 0868439979 midweek days 9am to 4pm and 7pm to 9pm and some saturdays if you have a question related to your treatment programme. Due to limitations on my time I cannot enter lengthy conversations on phone or email. If you cant reach me just leave a voicemail as it is my private personal mobile number, only I will read it. If i havent replied to your voicemail within a few days please send a watsapp message and an email, sometimes internet is patchy and calls are not received. You can also reach me by email ei.tugruoyhtiwog@ofni moc.liamg@3102yhprummanoif,  or on DMs on instagram @gowithyourgutclinic or via Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/gowithyourgutclinic@gowithyourgutclinic
