Renew Lifestyle – Lifestyle Medicine In Practice

I set up renew-lifestyle as I wanted to have more time to deliver more personalised care with lifestyle medicine and education on my own terms. Currently, I am doing a mixture of activities.

I work with a local NHS practice to deliver group menopause consultations every other Wednesday evening; although HRT is available, many women are keen to learn about lifestyle changes they need to do and what measures can help them during menopause.

I also offer online lifestyle and coaching consultations through my own renew-lifestyle website and do adhoc consulting to other companies offering personalised health coaching sometimes with wearables such as a CGM and oura ring.

I work with local businesses to deliver lifestyle advice such as during yoga for menopause sessions or for personal trainers and their clients. When I have time, I also write blogs for my website and have previously written lifestyle related blogs for employers and local teams. I am passionate about educating all on lifestyle medicine. I have given talks in my previous digital health post and also at BUPA locations where I now work as a lead physician.

Details of any successes or challenges:
  • Despite only being running for 3 months, the feedback from individuals and the group sessions has been extremely positive. Those attending workshops and groups are changing the way they are living, moving, eating and sleeping. I have 1 client who has completed 6 sessions with me and has lost weight and reduced her blood pressure, resting heart rate and improved sleep on her tracker.
  • Getting started was a challenge, learning how to build a website and then actually get going. I’m not a fan of social media but luckily through word of mouth and by doing the workshops and webinars, it has meant I haven’t needed to do too much!
