YOUR GOAL

 

I want to improve my health and age well

If you are thinking more seriously about your long-term health, you are not alone. Many people reach a point where they want to move beyond reactive care and take a proactive approach to ageing well.

You may be considering your energy levels, weight changes, hormonal shifts, cardiovascular risk, sleep, stress or overall resilience. It can be difficult to know where to begin.

Frequently asked questions:

Who delivers lifestyle medicine appointments?

Lifestyle medicine services are delivered in collaboration with Dr Ellen Fallows, a GP with a clinical focus on preventative health, wellness and healthy ageing. This ensures care is delivered within a regulated and clinically governed setting.

 

This service is currently in development and will launch following regulatory approval.

What is lifestyle medicine?

Lifestyle medicine is an evidence-based medical approach that focuses on preventing and managing chronic disease by addressing underlying drivers of health. It includes structured assessment of nutrition, movement, sleep, stress and metabolic risk factors, with personalised planning to support healthy ageing.

Can lifestyle medicine help with weight management?

Yes. Weight management may form part of a broader lifestyle medicine plan. However, the focus is on improving metabolic health, reducing long-term cardiovascular risk and supporting sustainable change rather than short-term dieting alone.

Do you offer menopause support as part of lifestyle medicine?

Yes. Perimenopause and menopause care can be incorporated into a personalised plan where appropriate. This may include symptom assessment, risk evaluation and discussion of evidence-based management options.

Will I need blood tests?

Where clinically appropriate, targeted blood testing may be recommended to assess metabolic risk, cardiovascular markers, hormonal changes or potential deficiencies. Testing is discussed during consultation and tailored to individual needs.

Is lifestyle medicine evidence-based?

Yes. Lifestyle medicine is grounded in clinical research and focuses on measurable improvements in risk factors such as blood pressure, glucose regulation, lipid levels and weight. It is not alternative therapy; it is structured, preventative medical care.

Is lifestyle medicine the same as functional medicine?

Lifestyle medicine and functional medicine share some principles, such as addressing root causes. However, lifestyle medicine is rooted in established clinical guidelines and evidence-based practice, delivered within a regulated medical framework.

How do I get started?

The first step is to book a consultation. This allows us to assess your current health, understand your goals and develop a structured, personalised plan focused on healthy ageing and long-term wellbeing.
