What is Lifestyle Medicine?
"Lifestyle medicine is a branch of evidence-based medicine in which comprehensive lifestyle changes (including nutrition, physical activity, stress management, social support and environmental exposures) are used to prevent, treat and reverse the progression of chronic diseases by addressing their underlying causes. LM is an adjunct form of treatment that helps to bridge the best aspects of public health and conventional clinical medicine".

The NHS is in crisis for multiple reasons. We are seeing an explosion in chronic disease with prescription costs at an all-time high. Through understanding the root cause of illness and addressing this on a public health level as well as with our patients on a 1 to 1 we can feel inspired to make a difference. It is time for a new way of thinking in medicine and we are proudly connecting interested professionals in Yorkshire to hear what key influencers are saying and join the discussion.
We have sourced a lovely modern venue and in line with our wellbeing mission, we will provide a wholefood seated lunch and nutritious snacks. There is FREE parking onsite.
