What is Lifestyle Medicine

Lifestyle Medicine is evidence-based, clinical care that supports behaviour change through person-centered techniques to improve mental wellbeing, social connection, healthy eating, physical activity, sleep and minimisation of harmful substances and behaviours.

 

 

How we can help

Our Lifestyle Medicine specialist, Dr Hannah Kendall, will explore your health concerns, be that current medical issues or the desire to prevent future ones.

 

We will work with you in a holistic way to understand the full breadth of your health in the context of your wider lifestyle, exploring areas such as sleep, stress management, diet and nutrition and movement, in combination with the best of modern medical practice, through medical examination and blood work.

 

We will work together to help you take control of your health and wellbeing, by incorporating a combination of behaviour change and practical solutions that fit in with real life to promote long term change in a sustainable way.
