035 The Lifestyle Doctors with Raj Karsandas and Chang-Sun Park - a podcast by Sunjay Vyas
from 2021-02-26T13:17:09
Lifestyle medicine has become increasingly popular within the last 10 years. But what exactly is it? And what does a Lifestyle Doctor do?
In this episode I had the privilege of talking to not one, but two lifestyle doctors, Raj Karsandas and Chang-Sun Park to answer those questions plus many more.
Raj (along with his wife) founded the Lifestyle Doctors which is a private practice that aims to deliver holistic, whole person care that helps to reverse or treat patients conditions. Raj has been a General Practitioner (GP) and more recently completed a diploma in Lifestyle Medicine with the British Society for Lifestyle Medicine (BSLM). Raj is passionate about supporting patients in overcoming psychological factors and stressors which lead to ill health.
Chang has been in general practice since 2009 and in that time she has witnessed the impact that stress and lifestyle has on patients. Her passionate belief is that finding health in every sense requires dedicated and generous attention to the whole of our being – physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual.
She has also been practicing yoga for over 10 years and is a qualified yoga teacher. Chang uses yoga as a lifestyle intervention to help patients improve their overall wellbeing. She too has completed her diploma in Lifestyle Medicine from the BSLM.
We discuss lifestyle medicine, some of the obstacles facing this movement, as well as their top tips on how we can all improve our own wellbeing through 5 simple practices.
