On Wednesday June 22nd at 7.30pm I will be repeating my talk on the Menopause. The first talk in May was very well received but I got a lot of messages to say that an evening talk would suit many of you better. Places are limited to 20. Please message me or leave a comment if you'd like to come.

Next Tuesday at 7.30pm I will be giving a short talk on Preventing Dementia.

If you, your friends or family have been touched by this horrible disease, you'll know only too well how awful and sad it is.

But there are lifestyle changes that you can put into practice now that have been proven to be successful in reducing your chances of developing dementia and I will be covering these in my talk.

If you'd like to come along, please let me know in the comments or by direct message.

It's Lifestyle Medicine Week this week and so I'm trying my best to bring awareness to this amazing new medical discipline.
Today I'm focusing on SLEEP! We all need it and many of us are no getting enough of it. If that's you - I can help. I recently ran a small group seminar for people who want to improve their sleep and I'll be doing so again in the near future. If you are local to Lancashire and would like a place, please drop me a message. If you're further afield, maybe I can run it over Zoom for you.

It's Lifestyle Medicine week this week, and so practitioners like me are celebrating, and trying to bring more awareness to the amazing effects that this form of medicine can have on health. Many chronic diseases can be improved or even reversed by a Lifestyle Medicine prescription. And one of the most powerful drugs in our armoury isn't even a drug at all - it's EXERCISE!! Humans are not designed to be sedentary - we're designed to move, to bear loads, to bend, stretch, reach, carry. By improving your ability to do these simple things, you will massively improve your fitness, which in turn will improve your health. If you want to recover or improve your health, I can help!

This week is international Lifestyle Medicine Week! Although Lifestyle Medicine is a relatively new medical discipline, its effectivness in treating many chronic diseases such as obesity, heart disease etc is already well proven.
As an experienced GP I can tell you that there are LOTS of ways that you can improve your health and without the need to take additional medication.
One of the biggest wins is to think about changing the way you eat. Nutrition has a massive impact on health and some small changes can go a long way.

On Saturday 28th May in the library at The Barlow Institute in Edgworth I will be giving a short talk entitled : Dealing with the Menopause. I will be sharing the strategies I have used in helping many women through this period in my time as a GP and in particular will be focusing on lifestyle based interventions.

If you, or someone you know, would find this talk helpful, please reserve a space with me via direct message or by replying in the comments. I've only got 20 spaces so please let me know asap :)
