Who we are
Vital Health is a telehealth lifestyle-medicine clinic for busy Kiwis.
We focus on weight management, men’s performance (ED), sleep, and heart/metabolic risk—delivering clear plans, regular reviews, and sensible prescribing when appropriate.
We’re not a general practice; we provide focused care with transparent pricing, secure video consults, and optional note-sharing with your usual GP.
The Vital Health Team
He specialises in lifestyle medicine including medical and lifestyle weight management, men’s health (ED and testosterone evaluation under strict criteria), sleep health, and cardiometabolic risk.
His approach is simple: clear targets, a plan you can follow, and follow-ups to keep it working—using medicines only when they make sense and always alongside lifestyle support.
What is Lifestyle Medicine?
The core pillars
- Nutrition: real-food patterns for satiety, metabolic health, and heart risk—tailored to your preferences and culture.
- Physical activity & strength: progressive plans to build muscle, support joints, and improve weight, mood, and glucose control.
- Sleep: routines, screening for snoring/possible sleep apnoea, and simple changes that boost energy and appetite control.
- Stress & mental wellbeing: tools for load management, focus, and recovery—practical habits you’ll actually use.
- Risk factors & environment: meds review, condition monitoring, and small environment tweaks that make good choices easy.
- Social support: accountability and support at home and work to keep momentum.
Why it works
Most long-term conditions are driven by daily patterns. Small, consistent improvements compound—shifting metrics like blood pressure, HbA1c, LDL, waist size, sleep quality, mood, and sexual health in the right direction.
Where tests and medicines fit
Labs and monitoring set clear targets and track progress. Medicines are used when they add obvious benefit or improve safety—and always paired with habits that deliver durable results.
It’s not restrictive
Lifestyle medicine isn’t tied to one “right” diet. We work from principles—adequate protein, plenty of fibre and plants, minimally processed foods, smart portions, and habits you can keep—then adapt them to your preferences and culture. That could be Mediterranean, low-carb, plant-forward, vegetarian, halal/kosher, or simply “Kiwi family meals with better swaps.” We’ll factor in allergies, budget, and time, and adjust as we learn what actually works for you. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s a sustainable way of eating you’ll stick with long-term.
What it isn’t
Crash diets, miracle supplements, or one-off scripts. It’s structured, evidence-based care that respects your time, preferences, and context—so changes stick.
