‘From cell to community!' Lifestyle Medicine is an established approach that focuses on improving the health and wellbeing of individuals, as well as populations.
It incorporates the extensive and highly variable components underpinning modern healthcare practices, whilst recognising the much deeper concept of being a human being; thus creating a society and environment which nurtures health longevity.
It requires an understanding and culmination of the physical, emotional, environmental and social determinants of disease; hence the importance of engaging with the patients and within the limits of evidence-based medicine, with the end result hopefully of a 'health and wellbeing sweet-spot'. All of this enables the individual to be in control of their future health!
