Lifestyle Medicine at Western

Lifestyle Medicine at Western (LMW) is a multi-disciplinary student club at Western Sydney Universit

LMW is a student club at Western Sydney University which is supported by the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine (ASLM). We seek to create a student community from all health-related disciplines with an interest in improving lifestyle-related health outcomes. Together we will develop a passion, share ideas, find opportunities, learn more about healthy lifestyle practices and engage in conceptualising how to empower ourselves and our future clients/patients using these practices. We as health care professionals of the future are faced with the task of tackling the complex and multi-faceted burden of lifestyle-related health issues. Lifestyle Medicine is a comprehensive, whole systems approach to contemporary medicine which focuses on integrating lifestyle practices into patient care to help prevent, manage and treat lifestyle-related non-communicable diseases. Healthy lifestyle practices leverage the impact daily habits and actions have on both short and long term health and quality of life. As future health-care professionals we need to engage in combining our various skills and scopes in areas such as physical activity, diet and nutrition, mental health and stress management, sleep, social interaction, mindfulness and meditation practices, weight management, environmental health and reducing drug and alcohol consumption to bring forward progressive and sustainable solutions to address the health issues and concerns of modern medicine and health care. ASLM recognizes students are vital to the push for change within the medical and health care community and as such provides free membership for students. This will provide you with access to a diverse range of educational, networking and professional development opportunities to help equip you for a future improving domestic and global health outcomes.

As October Mental Health Month comes to a close we would like to say a big thank you to everyone who was involved in our “Dear Stress, Let’s break up!” series on normalising mental health! 🤩

Our fantastic guest speakers, our wonderful collaborators and our over 160 very engaged and enthusiastic participants!✨

Just to recap what has been a brilliant mental health month🌟

🧠 On September 30th in collaboration with the Community Table we invited Wendy Nash (Psychologist from Kindly Cut The Crap) to discuss how to prevent and manage burnout with us. We also hosted a Community round table discussion on student mental health more broadly

🧠 On October 13th we invited Alison Hutchens (Mind-Body Energy Coach at Mind Body Energy Pty Ltd) to discuss mindfulness, meditation and also take us through a few brief guided mindfulness sessions

🧠 On October 20th in collaboration with the WSU Psych Soc, we invited Simon Matthews (Psychologist and CEO of Wellcoaches® Australia) to discuss the elements of behaviour change and how to find ways to improve ourselves in the future!

We would also like to especially thank the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine for their continued support of our work and also extend gratitude to Western Sydney University, Western Sydney University - Student Life, Western Sydney U - Medicine, WSU Paramedicine Society, W'SUP, WSU Science Soc, WSU International Student Association and The Environment Collective for their support in promoting our series 🚀

The power of positive thinking 💥

Positive thinking is an emotional and mental attitude that focuses on the good and expects results that will benefit you. It’s about anticipating happiness, health and success instead of expecting the worst. Leveraging the law of attraction, this mindset creates a positive feedback loop that brings even more good into your life. 💪🏻

Positive thinking can change your life. Studies have found that positive thinking helps you live longer, reduces loneliness and more. But the most life-changing effect of positive thinking is the idea that what you focus on, you attract.
As Tony says, “Whatever you hold in your mind on a consistent basis is exactly what you will experience in your life.” When you focus on the negative, you’ll experience more negatives. But when you focus on the positive, the whole world opens up to you.🙌🏻

but what is positive thinking not? It is not a cure-all that will automatically make you happier and more fulfilled. It isn’t a solution to deep-seated limiting beliefs like fear of failure and fear of success. And it doesn’t mean sitting around all day telling yourself you’re happy. To achieve your dreams, you’ll need more than a positive mindset. You’ll need to act. 🍀
(Tony Robbins)

How do you plan to include positive thinking in your life?

It is indeed true!

Sufficient amounts of safe and nutritious food is fundamental to human health and development, as it sustains life and promotes good health. 🥬

It is more pertinent now than ever to keep a check on your eating habits and to make sure that the food you are eating is fresh, clean and is contributing to your daily dietary requirements.

Eat right, Stay Healthy! 💪🏻

We all struggle with how we're feeling sometimes and it's normal to have ups and downs.

This year might have felt a little more down than up. But it's the little things that have got us through it - the morning walks, singing in the shower, the perfect cuppa, that Netflix show that got us all buzzing, the bestie who makes you LOL, the teacher who has your back.💪🏻🐥

Saying this World Mental Health Day is a little thing we can do to make a BIG difference to young people's mental health.

Because a little yellow goes a long way…
Swipe and have a look at our executives Eraga, Vidushi, Radhika and the cutest Apollo doing their part to support Young Minds in this powerful and necessary initiative! 🙌🏻

Like - save - recreate this post to show young people they’re not alone with their mental health!✨
