Lifestyle Endocrinology consultancy

Lifestyle medicine practice requires an understanding and acknowledgement of the physical, emotional, environmental and social determinants of disease. Lifestyle Medicine practitioner engage with patients and clients operate within a boundary of evidence-based practice.
Endocrinology is a branch of internal medicine dealing with the endocrine system,
hormones and conditions caused by any abnormalities of this system. Endocrine system is a series of internal glans (endocrine glands) which produce and release hormones. The body uses these hormones for a wide range of functions. Hormones play extremely important role in the physiology of a body. Hormones control all main bodily functions including respiration, metabolism, reproduction, growth and sexual development, inflammation etc.
The regulation of the endocrine system and interaction of hormones are extremely
complicated. Production of hormones varies dramatically during the life cycles but also the year and even the day. Production and release of hormones depends on the sex, age and health condition but style of life, physical and mental activity, etc.
There are many pathological conditions and diseases caused by abnormality of the
endocrine system called endocrine diseases. The specialists dealing with these diseases are endocrinologists.
I practice a complimentary Lifestyle endocrinology health advice/ consulting practice. I work alongside clinical practitioners and endocrinologists when needed. My practice is not a clinical practice but a Lifestyle health consultancy, advice and coaching.
I do not diagnose endocrine diseases or prescribe any medications. My knowledge in
medicine and endocrinology allows me to help my clients to realise any potential health problems that should be addressed by clinical consultants and healthcare professionals.
By spending time during the initial health audit sessions, I help identify and make my clients better understand the course of their health issues. These health issues are often at the stage where just a change in lifestyle, routine, everyday eating habits and physical activity will help them to prevent further damage to their health. I work both with the individuals, families and the family doctor when needed. Family is the
best team to discuss and address each other’s health issues. Together we ca build an effective team to create health and happiness for all the family. Genetic and advanced hormone tests.
