Lifestyle Medicine In Bristol
What Is Lifestyle Medicine?
Lifestyle medicine is an individualised and whole-person approach to health that takes into account many different areas of health and well-being including, diet and nutrition, physical exercise, sleep, mental wellbeing and healthy relationships. We offer lifestyle medicine in Bristol, where our doctor will take a holistic approach to your consultation.
It is an approach that takes an evidence based look at what changes we can make in our day to day life to improve our health and wellbeing. While it is primarily focussed on lifestyle improvement it does not preclude the use of medications which are more often associated with western medicine.
There is extensive evidence that lifestyle medicine as an approach not only significantly reduces the risk of developing chronic health conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity, but can also reverse them.
