Founded by Dr. Kitova-John, an experienced General Practitioner, Lantern Clinic is an innovative functional medical practice. Functional medicine represents a paradigm shift in the approach to healthcare, focusing on addressing the underlying reasons for illness rather than just treating symptoms.
By exploring the interconnectedness of the body's systems and considering health as a continuum, our clinic aims to address chronic diseases by restoring optimal function to promote overall well-being.
At Lantern Clinic, Dr. Kitova-John takes the time to listen to your health story, valuing your expertise on your own body. We prioritise understanding your concerns and focus on discovering the underlying imbalances, that contribute to chronic suffering, instead of merely addressing symptoms.
Our approach involves interventions, centered around enhancing nutrition, optimising sleep, managing stress, and promoting movement, rather than relying solely on prescribed medication. Dr. Margarita has expertise in conventional treatment approaches but she complements it with herbal medicine, nutritional supplementation, and holistic interventions.
If you are looking for an understanding of how to recover from chronic disease and achieve optimal health, partner with Dr. Margarita and the team at Lantern Clinic to in co-creating your health.
What we work with

Have you experimented with various therapies and medicines in an attempt to alleviate your condition, only to be met with disappointment each time?

The gastrointestinal system is our major interface to the outside world. It is our first line of defence, the place where our first exposure happens and where we decide if we are immune tolerant of the world or inflamed by the world. We can work with you to investigate your gut health issues and uncover the real cause of your symptoms.

Is menopause normal, or does it need to be treated? The information out there is overwhelming, to say the least. Is there such thing as natural menopause? Does every woman need HRT or not?

The human immune system is complex and powerful. It must be on guard at all times to distinguish between friend and foe. The gastrointestinal tract, being the largest surface organ in the human body, is the main defense line and the immune system is concentrated there. Unfortunately it doesn’t always get it right and sometimes attacks the body’s own cells, causing a multitude of “autoimmune” diseases.

Patient Review
“A series of illnesses over the last decade took its toll on my general health. This has been much improved with the help of functional medicine but I felt I needed something to help me recover and boost my energy levels. For the past 3 months I have been taking a tonic which has been personalised for my needs. After a few weeks I found a benefit and I now have a lot more energy and enthusiasm for doing everyday things and enjoying life.”
