We're living through a global pandemic of chronic illness.
Heart disease, diabetes, cancer, obesity have increased dramatically over the last 40 years. According to Dr Greg Fitzgerald, the problem is that too many of keep buying 'chronic illness lottery tickets' through our lifestyle choices.

Discover:
- What are the core elements of Lifestyle Medicine?
- What are the proper conditions for health?
- Why we should not “solider on” when sick (as per the 1980s advert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD_rIQ6eu3A)
- Where to start if you want to transform your health
