Dr Lucia Batty 

FRCP FFOM AFMCP DipIBLM

Dr Batty has been practising medicine in London (UK) for almost three decades, as a consultant in occupational health and wellbeing, in the NHS and privately.

 

She is also a founder and director of Wellbeing Medicine Ltd (nominated as Wellbeing Service Provider of the Year in 2025) - a company with significant focus on prevention, empowering people to build resilient health and wellness, stabilising or even reversing chronic illnesses and optimising vitality and longevity, using evidence-based Lifestyle Medicine, Functional Medicine, innovative Functional Screening technology and personalised nutritional and integrative interventions. 

 

Her vision is to spark lasting health transformation wherever people work, live and thrive.



In the NHS, she led one of the largest multi-disciplinary, award-winning and nationally accredited clinical training departments in a central London teaching hospital for over two decades, successfully shifting its focus on preventive, people-focused wellbeing, rather than reactive disease and sickness management.

 

Dame Carol Black opened up and described her transformed OH & Wellbeing service as being at the forefront of developments in OH in the UK. 
 
Dr Batty is trained and fully qualified in Functional Medicine, which identifies and addresses root causes which fuel chronic diseases, with a specific interest in autoimmune conditions and gut microbiome restoration. 


She is one of the first accredited Lifestyle Medicine physicians in the UK and also a trained facilitator of the Complete Health Improvement Program CHIP programme. Lifestyle Medicine is designed to prevent, arrest and, where possible, reverse chronic lifestyle diseases with a focus on epigenetics, as genetics is estimated to be accountable for only 20% of disease development. In simple terms, epigenetics can reverse the effects of your environment and behaviours, which can influence which genes are turned on or off, and how strongly they are expressed, without changing the underlying DNA code. These changes can affect your health and development, and some can even be passed down to future generations. 

​

Dr Batty was a co-founder and the Chief Medical Officer of Bodyscan360 Ltd (UK and Ireland), a company that used cutting-edge non-invasive functional wellness screening technology to identify underlying biological mechanisms of diseases (inflammation, vascular age and health, insulin resistance, oxidative and stress levels among others), present many years before disease develops.

 

The company was selected to represent the UK as one of the most innovative in healthcare solutions at the Dubai EXPO (2021).

​

Dr Batty specialises in prevention and potential reversal of chronic diseases and gut restoration, prescribing Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) as an innovative therapy that reduces inflammation and improves immunity, hormones and neurotransmitters. One's own Serotonin/Melatonin, Dopamine and GABA (or gamma-aminobutyric acid, a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system), can lead to a positive impact on sleep, mood, energy and conditions such as Long Covid Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, as well as many chronic autoimmune diseases and mental health conditions.

 

Dr Batty has contributed to the latest LDN Book "New Horizons: Celebrating 20 Years", which was published recently in the USA and Europe.


She has advanced mental health training in CBT, NLP, Emotional Intelligence, Stress Management and Positive Psychology, as mindset, choices and beliefs shape quality of life and even prognosis in illness.

​

Dr Batty has held several senior leadership roles at the Faculty of Occupational Medicine, London Deanery and the National School of OH over the years (Chief Medical Examiner for the Workplace Based Assessments since 2006, London and KSS Deanery Training Programme Director on two occasions, HSA Blood Borne Virus Committee, DipOccMed examiner, Brunel University scholar, lecturer at the DLU OEM Manchester,  Trainer of the Year at King's College Hospital for Educational and Clinical Supervision and research, among others).

 

She is an HSE Appointed Doctor for ionising radiation, asbestos and lead and has set up various health surveillance programmes in multiple industries.

Functional medicine emphasises a definable and teachable process of integrating multiple knowledge bases within a pragmatic intellectual matrix that focuses on functionality at many levels, rather than a single treatment for a single diagnosis. Functional medicine uses the patient’s story as a key tool for integrating diagnosis, signs and symptoms, and evidence of clinical imbalances into a comprehensive approach to improve both the patient’s environmental inputs and his or her physiological function.

The Institute for Functional Medicine teaches health care professional’s how to apply these principles in practice through an intensive 5 day training course called Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice™.

I attended and completed the AFMCP™-UK training in London in 2018.

​

​"My goal is to help people live their healthiest lives and enjoy healthy ageing, by stabilising and, whenever possible, reversing chronic lifestyle diseases."​
