Description

I am Dr C. Juliyanage MBBS, MRCS, MRCGP. I am currently working in the UK as a broad-certified, fully qualified GP. I have formal training in Lifestyle medicine and motivational interviewing. I use my knowledge in day-to-day practice and wanted to share it with a wider community. This course provides a comprehensive overview of Lifestyle Medicine, an evidence-based discipline that uses lifestyle interventions to prevent, treat, and often reverse chronic diseases. Students will explore the six core pillars of lifestyle medicine: nutrition, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, and the importance of social connection. Through a combination of lectures, case studies, and practical exercises, learners will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to assess health risks, promote sustainable behaviour change, and implement personalised lifestyle interventions.This course is designed with clear explanations so that both health professionals and the general public can understand. How to apply the knowledge in day-to-day life and patient management. How to make an individualised plan. The content can be followed by individuals to apply in their lives and make changes. As someone deeply passionate about lifestyle medicine, I have spent years reading extensively and learning from expert clinicians around the world. I’ve carefully consolidated that knowledge and incorporated it into this course to ensure you receive both foundational principles and the latest global insights in each area of lifestyle medicine.This course not only covers the basics of lifestyle medicine but also integrates current, evidence-based practices. You’ll find carefully selected external resources, including research articles, talks, podcasts, book recommendations, and discussion materials to deepen your understanding.The course is divided into clear sections, each with subsections including visual aids, videos, and diagrams to make learning engaging. Beyond theory, there is a dedicated section on the practical application of the fundamentals in lifestyle medicine. This section is packed with real-world strategies, clinical tips, and consultation tools for applying lifestyle medicine in personal and professional settings.You’ll learn how small lifestyle choices can lead to big improvements in well-being.No prior medical knowledge is required—just the willingness to learn and a desire to live well.Learning modalities include: interactive lectures and evidence-based data.
