Offering a holistic approach to overall health and wellbeing.
Lifestyle Medicine is a topic I am very passionate about. My name is Ellie Foster, I am a Physician Associate currently working within the NHS. I have created 'Flourish' as a resource for individuals to learn more about healthy lifestyle habits, the six pillars of lifestyle medicine, and a facility to signpost people to many fantastic resources to help you live your best life.
When we look at the average lifestyle habits today, we typically live sedentary lifestyles, high stress jobs and commitments, poor diets and lots of bad habits. We need to unpick this and address our habits and daily routines. It's easy to continue poor lifestyle choices, but at what cost to your long term health?

What I Offer
Your health matters. We have choices and factors that can shape our life, health and habits. Addressing your personal lifestyle regime and exploring ways in which you can live a healthier lifestyle aims to achieve improved overall health. Lifestyle Medicine takes all lifestyle factors into consideration; there are no quick fixes or easy solutions. No magic potions or diet juices, no extreme diets or unrealistic, intense exercise regimes. Lifestyle Medicine focuses on implementing long-term, realistic changes to your existing routine to help support your overall health and wellbeing. Working closely together, your lifestyle session will review your current lifestyle, using the six pillars of lifestyle medicine and explore sensible adaptations to support healthier daily routines.
Follow ups can be arranged based on your requirements, and I will not rush you through your concerns nor decide for you what is the most important subject to be explored during your visit. This gives you back the control and flexibility to manage and address your own health. During any spot checks that may be performed during any appointments, if any concerns are raised, I will inform you and advise you seek support from your own clinician or GP. Please note, services provided by The Lifestyle Medic are for support and educational purposes to help you achieve overall health through lifestyle changes and do not replace your own doctor or clinician. Any health concerns that may arise will be bought to your attention.
Ease of Access to Appointments
Choose your appointment date, time and duration. From 30 minutes appointments to 2 hours, your needs will respected and addressed appropriately.
Multiple Areas of Special Interests
I have a variety of special interests in health including but not limited to: Female Health, Lifestyle Medicine, Disease Prevention and Weight Management by exploring healthy lifestyle habits.
Comprehensive Support
I genuinely care and want the best for everyone I meet, both within the NHS and elsewhere. A caring manner and respect is key to building trust and rapport.
A Variety of Input with Technology
Whilst face to face appointments are my preference, I understand ease of access is essential given busy schedules and time limitations, I also offer telephone and video wellbeing promotion.
