Lifestyle Medicine
Evidence-based approach to preventing, treating, and reversing chronic disease through healthy lifestyle changes. Your GP will work with you to create sustainable habits for lasting health.
What is Lifestyle Medicine?
Lifestyle medicine is a branch of evidence-based medicine that focuses on the use of lifestyle interventions to prevent, treat, and often reverse chronic diseases. Rather than just managing symptoms with medication, we address the root causes.
Research shows that up to 80% of chronic diseases are caused by lifestyle factors such as poor diet, physical inactivity, smoking, and chronic stress. By making sustainable changes, you can significantly improve your health outcomes.
Our GPs are trained to provide lifestyle medicine consultations, helping you understand how your daily habits impact your health and creating a practical plan for change.
