Lifestyle Medicine

Lifestyle medicine is a practical, science-based and personalized 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.

This practice is about:

  • getting the whole story;
  • understanding how habits impact health; 
  • adopting habits that work with, and strengthen the body. 
 

Our objective is to expand your comfort zone:

  • leading to stronger/less-strained systems; and 
  • more energy.
 

Many of today’s conventional habits work disrupt our physiological and evolutionary make-up. While societal prevalence may lead us to believe that certain habits are ‘normal’ or good for us, many of them actually wear down our systems, daily. 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 to bounce back or the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties.

Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease, inflammatory disorders are at 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 lifestyle is such a big contributor to our chronic disease epidemic, is lifestyle not the logical place to start?

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

How resilient are you?

How quickly do you recover?

In life, we will encounter turns and bumps that throw us off.  Whether it is a be an incident or a stream of events, the unforeseen is inevitable.

When this goes on for too long, we start feeling depleted and our health cascades negatively in response.

If we can accept this impermanence of state as a given, if only makes sense to strengthen our recovery – our resilience – as this is ia defining factor of our health.

This is the essence of my practice, ‘Resiliendo’: I’ll teach you how to actively practice resilience to improve your health using evidence-based techniques and therapies from the fields of Orthomolecular therapy and Clinical Psycho-Neuro-Immunology.

The smallest adjustment can lead to the biggest change."

- Prof. Dr. Leo Pruimboom

For whom?

People often ask what types of conditions drive people to my practice. My best answer is: chronic imbalance and recognition of the need for change.

The key is understanding which adjustment will make the biggest difference.​

People come to me when they:

  • lack energy, when they feel like they are “dragging”
  • experience brain fog or an inability to focus
  • want to understand what is going on in their body,
  • feel unseen and unheard by their regular practitioner,
  • want to know what they can do to restore balance and regain their health.


It usually involves a “chronic” state of imbalance (of varying severity) and unsuccessful atempts to find a sustainable, long-term solution elsewhere.

In essence it is the recognition of the need for change that drives someone to seek help.

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 shift to be able to recover.

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

Is this you?

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 weightloss).

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."
