Delivered entirely online by UK‑registered GPs, our service empowers you to make sustainable changes in nutrition, activity, sleep, and stress management.

What Is Lifestyle Medicine?

• Type 2 diabetes and pre‑diabetes

• Hypertension and cardiovascular risk

• Obesity and metabolic syndrome

• Digestive disorders (IBS, GERD)

• Stress‑related conditions (chronic pain, anxiety)
