What is Lifestyle Medicine
Lifestyle medicine is evidence- based and looks at daily habits inlcuding nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, relationships and reducing harmful substances.
It is not an alternative to conventional medicine. It works alongside it, using evidence-informed lifestyle approaches to support prevention, symptom improvement and long-term wellbeing.
At Flourish Health Clinic, lifestyle medicine is personalised and practical. Together, we explore what may be affecting your health and create realistic steps that fit your life.
I qualified as a medical doctor in Germany. Following hospital training in intensive care and cardiology in Berlin I came to the UK in 2010 and subsequently trained and qualified as a GP in the Mid-Sussex training scheme.
I became increasingly interested in the role of lifestyle medicine in improving longterm health and, studying with the British Association of Lifestyle Medicine passed the internationally recognised Diploma in Lifestyle Medicine in 2022.
As a doctor and mother , I understand the challenges of balancing health, family life, work and everyday demands.
My approach combines conventional medical training with practical, evidence-informed lifestyle support — looking beyond symptoms alone to understand health in the context of daily life, stress, sleep, nutrition, movement and long-term wellbeing.
I believe health care works best when people feel heard, empowered and supported.
