What Lifestyle Medicine & Coaching Is
Education + behavior change: We translate peer-reviewed science on nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, social connection, and smoking/alcohol into small, sustainable habits.
Goal-based and collaborative: You choose goals; we help with planning, accountability, and troubleshooting.
Coaching, not treatment: Sessions focus on skills, routines, and decision-making—what to try, how to adapt, how to stick with it.
Culturally aware: Guidance is tailored to real-life constraints (climate, travel, family, work)
Evidence-aligned language: We use EU/UK-compliant nutrient-function wording (e.g., “vitamin C contributes to normal immune function”) and avoid medical claims.
What It Is Not
Not medical care. We don’t diagnose, treat, or manage diseases; we don’t replace your physician, dietitian, psychologist, or other licensed professional.
No prescribing/de-prescribing. We don’t start/stop medications or make changes to clinical treatment plans.
No emergency service. We don’t provide urgent or after-hours clinical advice.
Not psychotherapy. Coaching is future-focused skill-building; it is not mental-health counseling or therapy.
When to Seek Medical Care First
Please see a clinician before coaching if you have uncontrolled chronic disease or new symptoms. Urgent red flags(call emergency services): chest pain, severe shortness of breath, one-sided weakness or facial droop, severe headache, fainting, heavy bleeding, high fever with confusion, suspected deep-vein thrombosis (hot, swollen calf).
Medications, Labs & Supplements
Medications: Only your prescribing clinician adjusts medicines.
Labs: We can interpret general patterns educationally, but lab ordering/diagnosis stays with your clinician.
Supplements: Optional. We discuss potential benefits/risks and direct you to read labels and check interactions (especially with pregnancy/breastfeeding, anticoagulants, seizure disorders, thyroid meds). Do not exceed labeled doses.
