Lifestyle Medicine Consultation

This will always be led by a GP with a special interest in the role of lifestyle on health.

Everything from your sleep, diet, stress-levels, mood, activity levels as well as existing medical problems such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity will impact on your overall wellbeing. It’s therefore vital that we look at all these components together in order to help you understand what you’re doing right, and where we can improve things for you.

We may recommend some blood tests to give us a detailed picture of your health. For example, we will test your full blood count, kidney function, liver function and may suggest lipid profile assessment or thyroid function depending on your age and circumstances. Performing these tests periodically helps you to keep an eye on your health and enables us to detect certain problems when there’s time to do something about it.

Preventative health care rather than reactive health care

This is the essence of preventative health care rather than reactive health care, and the sense of reassurance from normal blood tests results is invaluable.
