WHAT IS LIFESTYLE MEDICINE?
Lifestyle Medicine is a branch of medicine that focuses on the use of lifestyle interventions to prevent, treat, and manage chronic diseases. It emphasizes the importance of healthy habits such as regular physical activity, a balanced diet, stress management, and adequate sleep. By adopting a healthy lifestyle, you can improve your overall health and reduce your risk of developing chronic diseases.

WHAT I DO:
As a Transformational Health Coach I help you to identify and modify the habits you would like to change across the 6 Pillars of Health promoted by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine in order to achieve your health goals, so you have the vitality to live the life of your dreams.
​
The Lifestyle Medicine 6 Pillars of Health are:
​
1. Nutrition
2. Exercise
3. Sleep
4. Stress
5. Relationships
6. Purpose*
I will not only guide you through the latest evidence-based health practices to help you reduce your risk of developing the chronic diseases associated with Metabolic Syndrome (Hypertension, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease etc), I will help you use various evidence-based techniques and strategies so you can develop new, positive habits and break old, negative ones so that the changes you make are PERMANENT.
​
* The 6th Pillar of Health according to the American College of Lifestyle Medicine is "Avoidance of Risky Substances"; my approach leverages your sense of PURPOSE, aligning your actions with your unique sense of purpose to make it easier for you to make healthy lifestyle choices, ideally reducing the desire for said "risky substances" or other harmful behaviours.
