Community, Health and Capital @ 19 Hills
A podcast series exploring new approaches to primary care, public health and public service delivery, supporting the 19 Hills Wellbeing Centre and community activities in Ringland, a small area in the east of Newport in south east Wales.
We talk to colleagues and partners around the UK and beyond on how shifting to prevention, prioritising action on the Social Determinants of health and community-owned models of service delivery could change lives - and give staff a better job and purpose.
Community, Health and Capital @ 19 Hills
Holistic approaches and the power of the gut with Dr Lisa, Lifestyle Medicine GP
Let us know what you think of the show
Welcome back to another episode of the Community, Health and Capital podcast with Jonny Currie and Matt Thorne, NHS primary care clinicians and Co-Directors of 19 Hills CIC. Joining us in this episode is Dr Lisa, Newport GP, specialist lifestyle medicine doctor, (new!) author and creator of Revive Prescribed, an online platform promoting holistic and patient-led approaches to improving health.
Recorded at a venue kindly provided by Dan Harris, Managing Director of Focus Shift Films and member/creative lead on our 19 Hills Partnership Board, we speak to Lisa about her journey into lifestyle medicine, starting with some personal events in the health of her family, and how these experienced shaped her response while leading a COVID-19 field hospital in the early phase of the pandemic.
Lisa berates those who claim lifestyle or wellness approaches have no place in areas of greater deprivation, describing some of the many impacts she has had, going on to talk about her Calm Belly method for people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and lots of the emerging science coming out about the gut microbiome and how this could be transferred into practice.
