I have been a doctor for nearly 20 years and have held very senior leadership roles in the NHS over the last decade. Over that time, I have become increasingly frustrated with the standard NHS approach to supporting patients living with diabetes, obesity or related complications such as fatty liver disease. As an NHS GP I spend most of my time “firefighting”, trying to deal with the downstream complications caused by these conditions, rather than trying to identify and treat the root causes and to prevent ill health.

For the last 2 years I have also been the lead doctor for a healthcare service specialising in diabetes prevention, diabetes reversal and weight management. This has been an incredibly enjoyable and rewarding part of my career - for me, helping to set someone on the path to lifelong good health is far more rewarding than reactively treating illness. I have set up this service so that anyone who is interested in preventing or reversing diabetes, or just interested in improving their metabolic health and feeling better, can access the high quality personalised support that they need.
