Lifestyle Medicine

Naturopathic medicine has always included personalised and targeted lifestyle medicine, as an intrinsic and essential part of its whole systems approach to healing.

It is an approach to healthcare that emphasises the importance of addressing underlying lifestyle factors that contribute to chronic disease. This includes nutrition, physical activity, stress management, sleep, and social connections. By focusing on these areas, lifestyle medicine can help prevent and even reverse chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancer.

Furthermore, lifestyle medicine can improve overall health and well-being, reduce the need for medication, and lower healthcare costs. By empowering individuals to take control of their health through lifestyle choices, lifestyle medicine has the potential to transform healthcare and improve the lives of millions of people around the world.

In the long run, lifestyle medicine saves you money by helping to prevent future chronic illness, and help reverse many current chronic illnesses. Practically speaking, lifestyle medicine addresses factors such as alcohol consumption, stress, cigarette smoking, lack of exercise, poor sleep, hydration, chronic anxiety, lack of regular sunshine or time in nature, social factors and environmental factors such as exposure to toxins or EMFs.

My approach is always to work with where you are at now and make gentle, achievable lifestyle changes that give you a feeling of success and inspire you to keep moving forward.
