Welcome

“As a Naturopath, I assimilated my experience as a Medical Research Scientist with every aspect of patient care.”

Both skill sets are essential to understanding human health and disease. Having studied and worked in medical science, I completely support and respect medicine, but I refuse to miss the opportunities to educate my medical colleagues on the incredible evidence-based aspects of Lifestyle Medicine and Naturopathy. The foundation subjects of Medical Science are where the evidence for much of Naturopathy exists; my aspirations are to bring these into focus, either through lecturing, research, clinical practice or communications work.

Lifestyle Medicine is deeply mechanistic. It is built on the first principles of biochemistry, physiology, and pathophysiology, and on the evolutionary truth that we humans are animals responding to our environment. Our lifestyle. It is not soft medicine. It is sophisticated, precise, and rigorously grounded in the mechanistic first principles that govern human biosciences. To practise it well requires more than a prescription. It respects the working understanding of the biological systems that underlie every lifestyle pillar, and the confidence in the evidence base that supports them.
