Personalised Lifestyle Medicine
Lifestyle Medicine
Lifestyle medicine is a rapidly growing, evidence-based medical specialty that focuses on using therapeutic lifestyle interventions as a primary means to prevent, treat, and often reverse chronic diseases.
It's about empowering individuals with the knowledge and skills to make effective behavioral changes that address the underlying causes of illness, rather than just managing symptoms.
DR ALAIN FRABOTTA places a significant emphasis on Personalised Lifestyle Medicine as a core component of his practice at Woollahra Whole Health.
This approach goes beyond simply treating symptoms and instead focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of chronic illness and promoting overall well-being through lifestyle interventions.
Here’s what Personalised Lifestyle Medicine entails in Dr. Frabotta's practice:
Integrative and Functional Medicine Foundation: Dr. Frabotta combines principles from integrative and functional medicine, which means he looks at the whole person and the complex interactions between their genes, environment, diet, and lifestyle. This allows for a deep understanding of what might be contributing to a person’s health challenges.
Lifestyle Therapeutic Approaches: He utilises evidence-based lifestyle interventions to treat, prevent, or modify factors that can lead to chronic disease. These interventions include:
Disease Prevention: Significantly reducing the risk of developing chronic diseases.
Disease Treatment and Reversal: For many chronic conditions like Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and even some autoimmune conditions, intensive lifestyle interventions can lead to significant improvement or even remission.
Improved Quality of Life: Beyond just managing symptoms, it aims to enhance overall well-being, energy levels, and mental clarity.
Empowerment: Shifting the focus from passive patient care to active patient participation and self-management.
Reduced Healthcare Costs: By preventing and reversing chronic diseases, lifestyle medicine has the potential to lower the burden on healthcare systems.
Psychological Principles and Behavioural Change: Dr. Frabotta incorporates psychological principles and behavioural change management techniques, such as counselling and coaching. This helps individuals make sustainable changes to their lifestyle, enhancing both physical and mental health.
Dr. Alain Frabotta’s practice is located at Woollahra Whole Health - 130 Edgecliff Rd, Woollahra, Sydney, AUSTRALIA.
