ANALYSE

Analyse is an evidence-based clinical newsletter for health professionals and the science-minded. For those who need deeper science, when simply offering or accepting a protocol feels like a disservice.

Lifestyle Medicine is not how many holidays you take per year, nor is it soft wellbeing advice that requires you to follow a hack or protocol never tested against your specific physiology, your own habits, your gender or stage of life. We forget that we are living, biological organisms. We respond to our environment. We have somehow, collectively and rather conveniently, forgotten that we are animals, and that our physical capacity, our cognitive capacity and our emotional resilience, are direct expressions of our environment, our choices and our behaviours. Our Lifestyle.

Facing this is uncomfortable. Not just for patients, but for clinicians too. It requires communication and connection skills that appointment structures don’t easily accommodate. It requires patients to develop genuine self-efficacy. Proper, rigorous Lifestyle Medicine is not a collection of wellness trends; it’s very clinical, precise and based on first principles of chemistry, biochemistry, anatomy and physiology. This specialty has evolved to follow the facts rigorously; we are animals responding to our environment. Nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress and emotional wellbeing, substance use, social connection and the natural environment. These are the mechanisms of Lifestyle Medicine.
