Lifestyle Medicine

As a retired medical professional with years of experience, I’ve always been passionate about advancing effective approaches to health. After a life-changing accident, I turned to Lifestyle Medicine—and it transformed my recovery. Today, I feel more energized, optimistic, and empowered than ever before. I’m excited to share the powerful benefits of Lifestyle Medicine, a science-backed approach that can complement and enhance traditional medical treatments, helping others reclaim their health and vitality.

Evidence based

I have researched the Lfestyle Medicne evidence to share and empower you strategies that have been shown to promote brain healing and recovery. 

Short and Longterm benefits

Implementing a Lifestyle Medicine approach not only supports short-term recovery and improvement, but more importantly, it can help reduce the risk of long-term brain complications—a serious concern following a brain injury. By addressing key lifestyle factors, this approach offers a powerful way to promote both immediate healing and long-term brain health.

About the course

Brain injuries can arise from many different causes, and no two people are the same. We each bring our own personality, background, medical history, and emotional needs to the recovery process. That’s why healing is not a one-size-fits-all journey. What I’ve learned—through both my medical career and my personal recovery after a life-changing brain injury—is that small, intentional steps can lead to powerful change. Lifestyle Medicine (LM) played a vital role in my own healing. It gave me structure, hope, and a toolkit for long-term well-being. I’ve had good days and tough ones—good years and harder ones—and through it all, what I needed most was reliable information and ongoing support. This introductory course is designed to gently introduce you to the foundations of Lifestyle Medicine. You’ll learn simple, practical strategies that can kick-start your healing and reduce the risk of long-term brain complications. Most importantly, you’ll be part of a supportive community that understands the ups and downs of recovery. We’ll explore the seven pillars of Lifestyle Medicine through engaging educational videos, quizzes, and written materials. You'll also have access to a welcoming online community, where you can ask questions, join webinars, and connect with others on similar journeys. When you're ready to go deeper, you can continue with our Level 2 course, which offers more in-depth, practical tools to help make Lifestyle Medicine a real, sustainable part of your life. Sign up now and take the first step. It doesn’t all happen at once—baby steps is my motto. I still take them, and I always will. That’s how I keep moving forward and building more happiness and positivity into my life. As both a doctor and a patient, I’ve been amazed by the power of Lifestyle Medicine—how it aligns with biology, supports healing, and connects us back to the rhythms of nature. When you understand how your body works at the cellular level, you can begin to guide it toward optimal health—intentionally, not by chance. We’d love to have you on this journey with us. Share your experiences, grow with us, and help build a stronger, more supportive community. Sign up today—I look forward to meeting you!

Your Name

I’m Dr Helen Monk, a retired medical practitioner with over 30 years of experience in Paediatrics and General Practice. Throughout my career, I was always deeply interested in Lifestyle Medicine (LM), but it wasn’t until a significant head injury forced me to leave clinical practice that I truly began to live it. That unexpected life change led me to take a deep dive into Lifestyle Medicine—not just as a theory, but as a practical, daily approach to recovery and well-being. I experienced firsthand both the challenges and the profound benefits of putting LM into action. Now, I’ve devoted this chapter of my life to education, support, and community. My mission is to share what I’ve learned and help others tap into the power of Lifestyle Medicine—so they too can take control of their health, one step at a time.
