Dr Caroline Butler
Over more than twenty years working as an NHS Doctor, I’ve seen how often insulin resistance sits at the root of fatigue, weight gain, poor focus, and many long-term health conditions — from type 2 diabetes to heart disease and cancers.
In my NHS practice, I’ve supported hundreds of patients to improve blood sugar control and lose weight through medication optimisation and lifestyle support, often using a lower-carbohydrate approach. Over time, I realised the most powerful results came when people truly understood why their body was behaving as it was — and learned how to work with it, not against it.
The greatest gift I can offer my patients is the knowledge and confidence to take control of their own health.
Moving beyond quick fixes
Approximately 70% of GP consultations relate to preventable diseases, yet traditional care often treats symptoms rather than causes.
For many people, the root causes include insulin resistance, inflammation, and hormonal imbalance.
Modern tools such as Mounjaro™, Wegovy™, Hormone Replacement, and Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) can be incredibly effective — but they work best when paired with meaningful lifestyle change.
Without that foundation, progress is temporary.
That’s why my approach combines evidence-based medical care with practical lifestyle medicine — helping you achieve better, longer-lasting results and, in some cases, reduce or stop medication altogether.
Elevate Metabolic Health
Recognising the limitations within NHS practice, I founded the Elevate Metabolic Health clinic to offer the kind of care I wished every patient could access: time, clarity, and expert guidance to address insulin resistance at its source.
I work with both men and women, recognising that metabolic health challenges can differ:
For women, key hormonal challenges such as PCOS, gestational diabetes, and menopause can drive insulin resistance, weight gain, and low energy.
For men, increasing abdominal fat can lower testosterone, affect libido and sexual function in addition to raising the risks of heart disease and diabetes.
Whatever your starting point, we’ll work together to restore your energy, rebalance your metabolism, manage weight and protect your long-term health.
My aim is to simplify the science and make it personal to you.
I’ll help you connect the dots and take confident steps towards lasting change.
When you understand insulin resistance, you hold the key to unlock your energy, focus and long-term health
