'In change lies the solution. And the smallest adjustment can lead to the biggest change."

- Prof. Dr. Leo Pruimboom, founder kPNI

Lifestyle Medicine

Lifestyle medicine is a practical, scientific and personal approach to health. Using the modern medicine approach of Clinical Psychoneuroimmunology to obtain an integrative assessment of your health we treat disease using the nutritional, physical, social and psychological aspects of your life (amongst others). 

You can call it science-lead, with a practical human approach. We work with integrated – not separate – disciplines. You come first and your lab-results follow, not visa-versa.

This practice is about:
  • getting the whole story,
  • understanding how habits impact health, and
  • adopting habits that work with and strengthen the body.
Our objective is to increase your resilience:
  • leading to stronger/less-strained systems, and
  • more energy.

Many of today’s conventional habits disrupt our physiological and evolutionary make-up. While societal prevalence may lead us to believe that these ‘normal’ habits are good for us, many of these daily habits actually wear down our systems. This is where we start. 

Small adjustments can lead to big changes. The key is understanding which adjustments will make the biggest difference to your overall well-being.

Resilire – latin for Resilience:
The ability or capacity to bounce back or recover quickly from difficulties.

Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease, inflammatory disorders are of epidemic proportions.

The scientific evidence linking processed foods and a sedentary lifestyle to these chronic diseases is overwhelming. And yet, processed foods and a sedentary lifestyle are the norm for a very large part of the western population.    

If the research shows that the western lifestyle is such a big contributor to our chronic disease epidemic, is lifestyle not the logical place to start?

One could say that our modern lifestyle has become an infectious agent. 

How resilient are you?

How quickly do you recover?

Life is a stream of events, some of which will throw us off course. Change is constant and it requires adaptability.  When we exhaust our recovery capacity, that is when it happens, that is when we start feeling depleted and our health cascades negatively in response.

A key underlying principle to recognize here is impermanence of state. If we can accept the impermanence of any state as a given, we can embrace the value of strengthening our recovery capacity, because it becomes vital. Resilience is essentially the defining factor of our health.

This is the essence of my practice, ‘Resiliendo’. I’ll teach you how to grow your resilience and regain/improve your health using evidence-based tools and therapies from the sciences of Clinical Psychoneuroimmunology and Orthomolecular Medicine.

Let food be thy medicine.
Let medicine be thy food."

For whom?

I often get asked which conditions drive people to my practice. My best answer is: chronic imbalance and recognition of the need for change.

People come to me when they:

  • lack energy and feel like they are “dragging”,
  • experience brain-fog or are unable to focus,
  • want to understand what is going on in their body,
  • feel unseen/unheard by their healthcare practitioner(s),
  • lose faith in the pharmaceutical-only approach to health,
  • want to know what they can do to restore balance and regain their health.

The situation usually involves a “chronic” state of imbalance (of varying duration and severity) and unsuccessful attempts at finding a sustainable long-term strategy/solution. 

Recognizing the need for change is what moves someone to seek help.

Ultimately, it is the desire to regain part of the (quality-of-) life lost, such as energy, mental/emotional state, mobility or social-connection).

What do I mean by “chronically unwell?” 
When imbalance lasts long enough, ‘chronic unwellness’ becomes the state of being. And like any other, a state of being requires a change cease to exist.

Bringing some degree of change to the undesirable state; that is the goal.

What are others saying?

"I immediately felt at ease in the warm, stylish ambiance of Lucille’s practice. Lucille quickly filtered my pain points and steered to identified my concerns (blood pressure, organ function and weight-loss).

After our pleasant conversation I received a very professional and comprehensible treatment plan with ambitious, but feasible goals. The result has been astonishing and I am really very happy.


I can highly recommend this practice to anyone who wants quick results without defaulting to prescription medication.

Thank you!"

"I am a healthy person. I do everything in moderation, including positives such as diet and exercise. I’ve never had an issue with my health that really made me stop. I did this year. I turned 40 and we were mid-pandemic. I still turned to Lucille when my doctor said I had a problem. Why? Because I knew she would give me solutions instead of limitations.


My doctor still treats my illness, but Lucille supports my well-being. She gives me the tools to avoid triggers. I am spending less on prescriptions, eating well, and am not constipated from pain meds. In fact, I don’t need pain meds. Anyway, it is a path not an easy answer.


This has been a great investment for me. I feel like I am in control of my life once again."

Rachel L., age 40Teacher, Vancouver, CA
“I was looking for more energy and inner-peace. Through my conversations with Lucille, I have been able to make the connections between simple habits and healing principles. This journey been very beneficial to me, physically and otherwise because I now have much more insight into the physical consequences of habits and thoughts. As a result I have much more control. I now feel much stronger and have a toolbox of techniques with which I can strengthen my body naturally."
Manon O., age 47Marketing Expert
"I had a couple of small but unrelated complaints (or so I thought). Lucille made me think about my eating habits (they were ok, but not always beneficial for my body) and what I could change to feel better. I did not expect the complaints to go away, but within a couple of days after our first meeting I was feeling better. After a second consultation, I was able to stop using my asthma medication. I have been off it for years now.


I believe in what Lucille does and how this could benefit everyone!"
