Importance of lifestyle in mental health with Dr Charlotte Marriott
In this episode, Dr Nina Fuller-Shavel speaks with Dr Charlotte Marriott, a consultant, NHS psychiatrist and certified lifestyle medicine physician. Dr. Charlotte's mission is to inform and inspire people to optimise their own health and wellbeing with evidence-based lifestyle medicine and lifestyle psychiatry information.
She also aims to educate healthcare professionals on how to incorporate a lifestyle medicine approach into standard medical care and to influence public health policy and national health guidance, something we are huge advocates for at Synthesis Clinic. Our consultant psychiatrist, Dr Iain Jordan, uses a variety of lifestyle medicine and psychotherapeutic approaches as a part of his toolkit with patients affected by anxiety, depression, PMDD, OCD, mental health burden of chronic disease and other problems and symptoms.
