Lifestyle Medicine GP
in Adelaide.

What you eat is the single most modifiable driver of chronic disease risk. I work through your eating patterns, identify what's working and what isn't, and help you build an approach that's evidence-based and actually sustainable, not a short-term diet.

Movement is medicine, and the evidence is unambiguous. I help you find an approach to physical activity that fits your body, your capacity, and your life. This isn't about telling you to exercise more; it's about understanding your current picture and building from there.

Poor sleep doesn't just make you tired, it drives weight gain, metabolic dysfunction, mood disorders, cardiovascular risk, and impaired immunity. Sleep health is a clinical priority, not a quality-of-life bonus. I take it seriously as a starting point, not an afterthought.

Chronic stress has direct physiological effects, on your heart, your immune system, your gut, your hormones. Mental wellbeing isn't separate from physical health; it underpins it. I address stress, anxiety, and psychological health as an integral part of lifestyle medicine, not as a separate referral to be made later.

Loneliness and social isolation carry health risks that rival smoking in their magnitude, yet this pillar is rarely discussed in a GP consultation. Meaningful connection, community, and relationships are genuine health factors I consider alongside the other five.

Tobacco, alcohol, and other substances are among the most modifiable contributors to poor health outcomes in Australia. If reducing or stopping substance use is something you want support with, I offer evidence-based, non-judgmental help, including cessation strategies and, where appropriate, PBS-subsidised supports.
