📢 Exciting News! 🎉 Thrilled to announce the publication of our latest medical article alongside the esteemed Dr. Callum Leese & Dr Blair Smith! 📄✨ Our article explores whether tackling a single lifestyle intervention or simultaneous interventions is more impactful. There is an escalating global burden of lifestyle-related diseases, which significantly contribute to chronic conditions and premature mortality. Despite the proven benefits of lifestyle interventions targeting physical inactivity, nutrition, alcohol, and smoking, these are still underutilised in primary healthcare settings. We delve into the intricate interrelations of these lifestyle factors, exploring effective strategies for integrating multiple interventions. What did we find? While simultaneous approaches for physical activity and nutrition show promise, smoking cessation might benefit from a sequential strategy. We also advocate for a holistic framework that includes sleep, mental well-being, and social connectedness, aligning with the World Health Organisation’s recommendations. The evidence on delivering these interventions together is limited, underscoring the need for further research and clinical guidance. To overcome barriers in primary care, innovative solutions such as using non-medical personnel, social prescribers, and health coaches, along with group consultations, are critical. Join us in exploring these vital strategies for promoting healthy lifestyles and improving global health outcomes! 🌍❤️ #MedicalResearch #PublicHealth #LifestyleMedicine British Society of Lifestyle Medicine Royal College of General Practitioners Red Whale 👉 Read more

Find out why more and more people are choosing functional medicine and alternative therapies to take care of their health!  These approaches are gaining popularity because they offer something unique. Imagine healthcare that is not just concerned with symptoms, but seeks to understand and treat the underlying causes of disease.  Best of all is the personalised care you receive. Forget generic solutions; functional medicine adapts to your unique needs, recognising that everyone is different and needs a tailored approach. Do you like the idea of preventing health problems rather than simply treating them? Functional medicine stresses the importance of adopting healthy lifestyle habits to maintain your long-term wellbeing. And we can't forget that many are looking for alternatives with fewer side effects.  This is where natural therapies come in. Functional medicine and alternative therapies often use less invasive approaches, taking advantage of natural resources. So, if you're looking for an approach to health that sees you as a unique individual, promoting prevention and wellness, functional medicine and alternative therapies could be just what you need!   #NaturalHealth #FunctionalMedicine #PersonalisedWellness #AlternativeTherapies

ARMA’s "Act Now" Report on MSK Health Inequalities and Deprivation. The Act Now: Musculoskeletal Health Inequalities and Deprivation report from ARMA highlights the impact of social and economic determinants of health on those living with MSK conditions, recognising that people in deprived areas face far greater challenges in managing their MSK conditions and accessing quality MSK services. The report aims to address the drivers of poor musculoskeletal health acting on people living in deprivation and bring a focus to the part health services across the UK can play to address inequalities. The report provides practical advice and signposting for health systems, MSK services and practitioners in a position to shift the dial in the right direction and implement innovative strategies to overcome barriers to healthcare access and tackle unequal health outcomes in MSK health. Key recommendations from the report include: • Getting closer to and knowing your community better – solutions such as moving services into community spaces make them more accessible to under- served groups from deprived areas. • Developing shared ownership of services through engagement and co-production. • Using data to identify, tackle and monitor barriers to access and unequal health outcomes. • Targeting intensive and tailored supported self-management where need is greatest.

Only if EVERY healthcare event was like #NLMC2024 • The Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine Conference has set the bar high for not only events focused on lifestyle change, preventative and holistic health but also set an important example for the nature of solutions-based conversations we should be having when it comes to medicine. Patient stories were another highlight and so was the openness to invite interdisciplinary ideas into the mix. For instance, the role of #mediadeterminantsofhealth and #burnout. It was a delight to listen to Dr. Alan Desmond, Dr. Gemma Newman, Dr. Minil Minil, Dr Sunni Patel - amongst many others. And, the meals served were delicious and #wholefoodplantbased. Here’s a snippet from JIVINITI Research’s presentation on #burnout • We also revealed a ^^video snippet^^ of an upcoming project 🎥🌱🤫 A big shoutout to Plant-Based Health Professionals UK, Dr Shireen Kassam 🌱, Rohini Bajekal, Claire Lynch RD, MNutr, Dip IBLM and Karen Lee for organizing this amazing educational event. 📢 P.S: Day 2 on Nov 9 is virtual • 🎟️ tickets are running out fast • Dr. Michael Greger will present the keynote address • grab your (e-)seat now!

Open Letter to Doctors: Dear Esteemed Doctors, As a concerned citizen, I write to you with a shared commitment to improving the #wellbeing of our communities. In your noble profession, you witness firsthand the profound impact of lifestyle choices on health outcomes. While your expertise in diagnosing and treating illness is indispensable, I believe there is a critical need to shift the focus towards #preventive care and patient education. As healers and educators, you have a unique opportunity to empower your patients to take control of their health through lifestyle modifications and nutritional interventions. By emphasizing the importance of regular #exercise, balanced #nutrition, stress management, and adequate #sleep, you can help your patients mitigate their risk of chronic diseases and enhance their overall quality of life. I urge you to join me in advocating for a paradigm shift in #healthcare — one that prioritizes proactive health management over reactive disease treatment. By equipping patients with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed decisions about their #health, we can cultivate a culture of #wellness that extends far beyond the walls of your clinics and hospitals. Let us lead by example and champion the integration of lifestyle medicine into mainstream healthcare practice. By collaborating with allied health professionals and leveraging community resources, we can create comprehensive care plans that address the root causes of illness and promote holistic well-being. Together, let's redefine the role of the #physician as not only a healer of the sick but also a guide for the healthy. By embracing the principles of #lifestyle medicine, we can empower patients to thrive and flourish in mind, body, and spirit. With gratitude and solidarity, Dheeraj Garg

I came across this article debating the role of naturopathic doctors in primary health care. This discussion sparked my interest, particularly in the context of #radicalcollaboration. While the perspectives presented may seem diametrically opposed, I believe there’s significant room for complementary services between #family doctors and #naturopathic doctors. In an era where #lifestylemedicine is becoming increasingly important, a more #integrated approach could better serve Canadians, blending the strengths of both fields for holistic well-being. Radical collaboration and more platforms for structured debates are needed to establish some common ground and potentially promote collective action for collective impact. The Canadian health system has been a topic of discussion for many years, with calls for reform and innovation. Perhaps having these uncomfortable conversations can create room for some much-needed #disruption, leading to #innovativesolutions in the space. Remember: ‘Great things never came from comfort zones.’ #healthsystemstransformation #radicalcollaboration #collectiveimpact
