What is lifestyle medicine?
An emerging sub-field of Medicine, Lifestyle Medicine is a new way of looking at your health which involves a range of health professionals working together to address those health conditions in which lifestyle plays a significant factor.
In Lifestyle Medicine, GPs, Medical Specialists, Allied Health Professionals, Scientists, Researchers – and Certified Health Coaches - all work together to help educate and address risk factors which could be contributing to these chronic lifestyle-related health conditions.
There are a range of risk factors which may need to be changed including;
- poor or inadequate sleep
- physical inactivity
- poor diet or nutrition
- regulation of emotions
- smoking & overconsumption of alcohol
- mental health and social isolation
When you address these behaviours which increase our risk of a poor health outcome – this is what we call Lifestyle Medicine.
If you find yourself knowing you want to improve these behaviours, but struggle to take the first step, I can help support you.
