Welcome to Coho Health - Functional Medicine Manchester

Through our years of experience in helping people to feel better, we know that everyone is unique. 

Whatever your health concern, we start by taking the time to understand you.

Unique genetics and health history, combined with a lifestyle environment, nutrition, and biochemistry that are unique to you, means that unless we understand these factors, we’ll never fully understand, and be able to make a profound difference to, your personal health situation.

We like to call it joined up health.

Before your appointment you’ll be asked to complete detailed health questionnaires and a food diary. 

This means that we can start to make significant progress at your very first consultation.

We then work together to understand what your health has been like in the past and how it is now, what you’re eating, how you are moving, your likes, dislikes and your lifestyle. 

We’ll assess whether you’re likely to have any genetic predispositions and we review any previous clinical test results.

As part of our work together, we may recommend functional testing to help pinpoint imbalances, meaning we can be more targeted in helping you, getting you the results you want, faster.

We change lives

Here’s what people say about working with the Coho Health Functional Medicine team

I initially went to see Dee to see whether I could control my PMS symptoms (mood swings & anger) - avoiding the ‘antidepressants’ route.

To my surprise, after only 2 sessions and implementing the changes to my diet and lifestyle that Dee had suggested (as well as a vitamin supplement), my mood was much more manageable.

Now a few months later, it’s actually not a problem anymore, I am much more calm, and have a lot more energy. As a result, the whole family, not just myself, have benefited from Dee’s help! I would certainly recommend Dee to anyone.

Dee knew before any GP that my issues were caused by hormones.

Now that I have a diagnosis of endometriosis she is who I have gone back to for help and advice.

She is so supportive and has really tailored her approach to suit me, my lifestyle, and my needs. I would recommend her to anyone!
Allanah Ashdown
With the support of Aga, we pretty much worked slowly through every system, going step by step and helping me to understand my body better and learning to listen to it.

With her help, after a year and a half I feel like a completely new person.

We managed to turn around the IBS, get my menstrual cycle back, stop the reflux and congestion. Sore glands are gone, puffy face in the morning is gone, brain fog is gone.

I cant tell you how good it feels to wake up in the morning and feel well!

Thank you Coho Health and a huge thank you to Aga.
Ellen Spencer
She has helped me to feel like a new person, always being on hand with any worries or concerns, sharing all her knowledge with me and educating me on a whole new and more fulfilling way to live my life.

With her help I got my menstrual cycle back after never having had it since I was 16, got rid of brain fog, congestion, reflux, nausea, sore glands, bad sleep, water retention, recurring cystitis, recurring thrush (yes I was this ill!).

I have none of these things in my life anymore and I now wake up in the morning feeling well! Thank you Aga and thank you Coho Health.

I went for the GP blood tests today and it happened to be my diabetic nurse that took them…. was expecting her to be a bit peeved that I hadn’t taken them (prescribed medication for diabetes) and gone elsewhere for advice….

She weighed me and said “oh gosh well something’s working you’ve really lost some weight”. She said she thought my Nutritionist sounded amazing to keep trying what I was doing, it made total sense to her.

That probably 10 years ago my thyroid would have been classified as a problem by the GP but that the boundaries have decreased. She asked me who you were as her sister has low level thyroid issues that are not classified as an issue by the NHS but that are having a negative affect...
PJ - Part 1
My HbA1c in December (after I’d been calorie counting and generally doing the ‘eat right plate’) was 57, this is when the diabetic nurse first suggested I go on the tablets that have a side effect of thrush.

She said the target for me was 48, this seemed impossible as I felt I was trying so hard already. My result today, after roughly just 6 or 7 weeks doing what you’ve said (and not 100% perfectly) is 46!!

I am absolutely delighted!! And surprised!! I just obviously need to keep doing what I’m doing.I seriously cannot thank you enough. I know I am still on a journey but I know feel like I’m on the right path. So glad I didn’t take those extra tablets and contacted you instead.
PJ - Part 2 (7 days later)
Prior to my experience of working with Dee at Coho Health I was suffering from terrible gastro-intestinal discomfort and symptoms.

This was having a profound impact on my health and general well-being, I wasn’t myself and I wasn’t able to do the things I enjoyed.

Since seeing Dee I am at the peak of wellness, fitness and strength and I can’t recommend her expertise enough.

A fantastic investment in my wellness, health and knowledge.
Katie B
For years I have struggled with stomach discomfort and sinus issues and more recently my stress levels have risen due to work and study commitments.

My stomach has had a dramatic turnaround now that I better understand some of the triggers which had previously caused discomfort.

The sessions continue to be an education and even though I’m still a work in progress, I know that with Dee’s guidance I can continue on a healthy path.
Rich
When I came to Coho Health I was unknowingly suffering with SIBO and an under active Thyroid.

I cannot thank Coho Health enough and have already recommended Aga to my friends and family. I feel that this is the future of health and a lot of ill health today has unfortunately been misdiagnosed.

Working with Coho has been an amazing experience and not only am I happy with the results I feel I have also gained an education in the meantime.
TC
The detox is going well - mentally I’ve never felt happier.

Initially it was tough physically due to illness, but I finally think physically I’m starting to feel the benefits too.

I’m slowly getting into cooking different food and loving it, and I feel like I would love to keep this up past January.

So a HUGE thanks for this, it’s been a really big learning curve. Amongst other things it’s stopped me picking at rubbish food and given me the motivation to start yoga again.
Rosie Clark
Coho Health helped me recover to full health after suffering months of fatigue, headaches and other symptoms of a post-viral fatigue condition.

They are very methodical and tailor any testing to the individual to help find any root cause of the problem and help manage you back to health.

It is very professional service, very approachable and even though we had to meet remotely there was a very human and personal presence.

Easy 5 stars.
Stuart Lord-Winnard
I was suffering with horrible symptoms leaving me body ridden and out of alignment. They were a step in the right direction for me to achieve my goal.

By running different lab tests we were able to work together to figure out what was wrong with me and solve the problem.

It has been a true blessing for me.
Madison Brookes
Being on antibiotics really slowed us down over the summer but I feel like we have achieved so much.

I think my leaky gut is now healed as I can now eat avocado without getting stomach ache – which is fantastic as it’s one of my favourite foods!

My hand eczema has reduced significantly and is now more under control.

I’ve learned how to manage my diet, learnt so much about gut health and how it affects EVERYTHING!
Sarah Barnes
I was suffering from huge slumps in energy in the day and struggling to have the energy to train regularly and keep my weight low which is very important for a cyclist.

The nutrition plan that Dee gave me allowed me to lose body fat whilst increasing strength & fitness.

At the same time I was able to maintain my weight without feeling hungry or getting energy slumps. In the race itself I performed much better than anticipated, something I couldn’t have achieved without the help of the team at Coho Health.

Functional Medicine Manchester

By first taking time to listen, and identify the root cause of issues, we can begin to join up the dots to explain how you are feeling and put in place a direct and immediate plan to make things better.

This functional approach means that we look at you as a whole, assessing the systems that underpin health concerns, rather than only dealing with your symptoms.

A comprehensive personal plan will be drawn up and delivered to you within 5 working days of your initial appointment (2 days for follow up appointments). Your plan will summarise everything we discuss in your consultation, along with our detailed recommendations.

If you’re on a Functional Medicine Care Plan, follow-up appointments are scheduled at regular intervals over the length of your plan so we can give you the best support and care. You’ll also have access to support calls with your practitioner if you have any questions.

For those having single, pay-as-you-go initial and follow up appointments, you’ll receive your plan and recommendations as above, but support outside appointments is strictly limited to brief questions directly related to your plan, within 14 days of your plan being sent to you. For all other support, you’ll need to book a follow up appointment.

Your protocol is continuously reviewed and adapted after each appointment, in light of how you are feeling and new test results.

This ensures we continue to work toward your goals in the most effective way. Regular appointments allow us to shift focus from one aspect of your health to another as we make progress, as well as assessing what is or isn’t working for you. It’s important to remember that most chronic health issues evolve over many years, and so getting to the bottom of things can often take time.

This is why care plans usually deliver the best results for our clients.

We also recognise that you are unique. The strategies we put in place are unique to you, and by working closely with you over a period of time, we can deliver better results by ensuring that your protocol will fit in with your lifestyle and personal preferences, motivations and circumstances.

The result isn’t just short term improved health, but prolonged optimal health.

If the time has come for you to take control of your health, you’re in the right place – we’re ready to help you get started today.

How much does it cost?

Our aim is to make taking control and feeling better available to as many people as possible. 

We keep our fees as low as possible, while reflecting the commitment we put into each consultation and client plan, and the incredible value you receive. Your investment with Coho depends on a couple of factors:

  • the Coho Health practitioner you choose to work with
  • whether you choose a single appointment, 12 week, or 6 month Care Plan
