Like many doctors, my journey into lifestyle medicine began personally. I experienced firsthand how busy, stressful life and conventional health advice weren’t supporting my own energy, wellbeing, or long-term health. Through my own journey, I began incorporating lifestyle change — particularly nutrition, movement, stress management, and breathing — and saw profound improvements, not only in how I felt but in how my body functioned. That personal experience transformed the way I practise medicine. It’s also why I host the Prescribing Lifestyle podcast and wrote the book Prescribing Lifestyle — to share evidence-based, practical tools that empower people to take charge of their health and create lasting, vibrant wellbeing.
