In this episode of The Cosmetic Cast, we talk to Dr Mayoni Gooneratne, a functional medicine doctor, aesthetic practitioner and former NHS surgeon with a passion for female wellness.
The aesthetics industry is increasingly recognising the importance of a holistic approach that integrates treatments with lifestyle and wellness advice. This approach considers the whole person and seeks to enhance not just physical appearance, but also overall quality of life.
Together with Hamilton Fraser's founder and CEO, Eddie Hooker, and journalist Vicky Eldridge, Dr Gooneratne explores how this fusion of aesthetics and wellness has created opportunities for practitioners to diversify their service offering. Tune in to find out about her journey from aesthetics into functional medicine and how you too can integrate this into your practice.
Dr Mayoni Gooneratne is co-founder of the British College of Functional Medicine and founder of Human Health Clinic, both of which are referred to during this podcast.
