Episode 121. 2026 New Year, Same Values: Growth, Curiosity & Lifestyle Medicine
Welcome to the first episode of Prescribing Lifestyle for 2026! In this special New Year reflection, I share my renewed intentions and direction for both my practice and the podcast.
My two guiding words for 2026 are Growth and Grounded — continuing to learn, evolve, and stay intentional without burnout or pressure.
Join me as I reflect on:
What "growth" and "grounded" mean in my personal and professional life The exciting future of Prescribing Lifestyle: more curiosity, deeper conversations, and "rabbit holes" into medicine, nutrition, movement, mindset, breathwork, and nervous system health Updates on Melbourne Low Carb Clinic—now across 5 Melbourne locations plus telehealth nationwide New programs: the revamped Low Carb Pro 2.0 and the Metabolic Makeover Program with nutritionist Carla Vidkarta My continued mission to help people take charge, reduce medications, and create true lifestyle change 💬 My invitation to you:
Set your own word of the year. Choose an intention, a habit, or a mindset shift that grounds your growth in 2026.
