Take Charge of Your Health and Wellbeing with Lifestyle Medicine
Do you suffer from a chronic condition and wonder if there are lifestyle choices you can make to improve your quality of life?
Are you wondering what the best strategies are for health but confused by all of the information on the internet?
Do you have a desire to improve your health but are unsure of where or how to start?
Then you are on the right page! I am an NZ based doctor with a passion for helping people gain clarity around all the confusing nutrition and lifestyle information on the internet. I interpret the research for you and create a lifestyle medicine plan (in conjunction with medications where necessary) to improve your health conditions based on your individual needs.
Lifestyle medicine focuses on evidence - informed nutrition, movement, sleep, mind states, social connection, connection to nature, online & advanced technology and health coaching techniques to help people achieve wellbeing. It’s a growing global movement, tackling the root causes of disease.
I provide lifestyle medicine consultations for:
People who want to reduce medications for chronic health conditions (where safe)
People who have a chronic health condition and who wish to use lifestyle approaches first or in conjunction with medications (eg high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, osteoarthritis)
People who would like to use lifestyle approaches to help with their mental health.
People who wish to reduce their risk of disease based on family history
People who wish to achieve sustainable healthy weight
People who wish to engage in evidence based lifestyle behaviours to prevent a range of health conditions
Together we assess your health, with a full medical history, examination and blood work (where necessary) to create an individualized plan going forward with the aim of optimising your long term health.
“The Doctor of the future, will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.”
