๐บ Worth a watch tonight
Thereโs a programme airing tonight on Channel 4 at 8pm called The Drug Free Doctor with Dr Rangan Chatterjee, looking at how lifestyle changes can influence some of the conditions that cost the NHS and society so much.
Iโm a big supporter of this approach. I use lifestyle medicine with my patients and Iโm a certified Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner having completed the core accreditation qualification. It focuses on practical areas like movement, sleep, stress, nutrition and behaviour change alongside appropriate hands-on care โ helping people build healthier, more resilient lives.
I was lucky enough to meet Dr Chatterjee at a conference a while back. Heโs genuinely a really nice guy, and I learned a lot from his lecture- ideas I still use in clinic today.
If youโre interested in taking more ownership of your health and understanding what small changes can make a big difference, Iโd really recommend giving the programme a watch tonight.
Let me know if you catch it and what you think ๐
