You may not know much about metabolic health but it's the foundation of how every cell in your body functions. You will learn how to make metabolic health work for you. In doing this you will not only transform how you look and feel everyday but you will also have removed the grounds for future heart attacks, stroke and dementia.

Metabolic Health is the Key to Longevity

"It really appeals to the objective scientist in me and lends a level of credibility that Dr Steve works as an Intensive Care consultant in the NHS and Danish Health Service. I’ve battled with numerous medical challenges for more than a decade and also lost family members and close friends, all of which combined to make me want to seek a whole-system approach. Dr Steve James’ integrative health philosophy is it. Mental well being, physical well being, nutritional guidance, and more, all backed by rigorous scientific testing and establishing an approach that looks at the whole individual. It can be quite daunting, but then nothing that’s worth it ever came easy. Living well for the remainder of my life is the goal so it’s worth it."

Health Assessments

Health assessment is often reactive, focused on looking for problems. It’s a copy of the standard hospital approach of finding conditions for medication or surgery. It can feel like a tick-box exercise rather than a tailored approach seeing you as an individual.

Is this what you’d want for your family, relationships or business?

We think not, and that’s why we offer a personalised, proactive approach.

Do you have chronic inflammation or insulin resistance, and if so why? Do the foods you eat and the way you exercise translate into an effective energy delivery system? What do the latest insights into cholesterol and genetics tell us about your cardiac risk? What is disturbing your sleep and affecting the way you regenerate overnight? How do old injuries or experiences hold you back? To the right you can read more about the testing we most often recommend and why it’s central to a proactive approach.

Health Journey

If you are ready to not just learn more about your health but change it, then a Health Program with Dr James will bring the results you seek.

NUTRITION STRATEGY

Ready to move from a "balanced diet" to one that enhances your health and body composition? You'll get expert guidance on how to optimise how you eat, ease gut issues and raise energy levels. You will develop a step-by-step plan that allows you to understand and introduce the changes you need. We aim for a long-term nutrition strategy with enough flexibility for your life.

EMOTIONAL HEALTH

Move beyond self-criticism and frustration. Discover how prioritising your health has a positive impact on others as well as yourself. Emotional health is central to the choices we make. You know how vital your emotional health is to your well-being. Health Programs put it front and centre.

SUPPLEMENTS & MEDICINES

The choice of supplements is so huge these days many people find it overwhelming. Dr James will create a personalised plan for you where you will get the most return for your needs. You'll also be able to discuss your medication with Dr James.

SLEEP TOOLKIT

You know how important a good nights sleep is but are you able to get it every night? Good sleep is central to the restoration of our energy levels, for the removal of brain waste products and for learning. But sleep is also important for blood pressure control, appetite regulation and much more.

First your sleep history will be discussed together with your circadian rhythm. This is then combined with data from your sleep studies. This may detect issues like sleep apnea or insomnia which have often gone undetected.

When you improve your sleep, every system in your body benefits.

STRESS & RECOVERY STRATEGY

Stress isn't all bad. In fact, in the right dose it's the best way to develop and get more resilient, as long as it comes with enough recovery. Chronic stress however, leads to chronic inflammation. This is now understood to be key in cardiovascular disease and dementia.
So stress is a balancing act where nuance matters. Small changes can lead to big differences. Stress is multi-factorial and can be optimally addressed in a health program.

Dr James’ broad experience in cardio-metabolic health, sleep medicine, nutrition, exercise physiology and psychological health means he is uniquely placed to guide you through the process.

The Health Programs start with a Health Assessment and then continues on. Consultations with Dr James take time. This ensures that you get to understand your results. Together you will discuss their implications and develop personalised plans. These will cover all areas of your health.

Weekly check-ins either on a call or via messaging mean that you have the support you need and can get quick answers to any questions.

A personal movement and fitness program will be created for you by our personal trainer, David Tilston. This will take into account your schedule, wishes and current level of fitness.

At the end of the program you will go through repeat testing to prove what changes you have made. These will be reviewed with Dr James and you can discuss how to take things further. At this points some clients want to opt for a Health Membership.

“His approach led to multiple cascading changes. My weight has dropped and cholesterol normalised, but the changes are so much wider than the numbers. I have boundless energy and am re-evaluating life because my energy levels are so heightened.”

Stefan Maciejewski, 57

“I tried to find a joined up approach to my health through my GP practice but all my symptoms sat in boxes. From my very first consultation with Dr Steve I felt supported. I started to feel like a whole person again, connected to myself and amazing changes followed.”

Lyn Jubrail, 57

★★★★★

"I was in hospital with diverticulitis and told to lose weight. My trainer recommended that I see Dr James. My first MRI showed 6.8 litres of visceral fat which was driving the diverticulitis and I had borderline insulin resistance.

In three months I lost 10kg, my waist reduced by 3 inches and my blood pressure was back in the normal range. My follow-up MRI showed I had lost 3.1 litres of visceral and subcutaneous fat from my abdomen while my muscle mass had even gone up. The insulin resistance was almost gone and no more symptoms from the diverticulitis. I also had much more energy at the weekends when normally I was tired after a busy week. I had always thought I could exercise my way out of ill-health. In the end I needed a professional opinion to help me make the changes that I had heard about but didn't put into practice. That was the big conscious change."

ABOUT DR STEVE JAMES

I am a British doctor who went to Cambridge University and then worked in London's top hospitals for 25 years

I’ve worked as a consultant in critical care, exercise testing, and managing fatigue. More than 90% of the patients I’ve cared for are in hospital with preventable disease and the current healthcare system is not going to fix this problem for you, me or society.

Medical school and specialist training didn’t teach me or others doctors how to help people be healthy. Healthcare looks at issues in isolation and is reactive. So I went on my journey, learning about health from many perspectives.

I started with studying meditation and Buddhist psychology. This helped me but was difficult to transfer in a clinical setting to patients. I then trained in functional medicine and nutrition and set up a clinic for people with fatigue. I did research on exercise capacity and interpreted 1,000s of tests for people with breathlessness. Many patients had sleep issues so I studied CBT for insomnia and did exams in sleep medicine.

Metabolic dysfunction or disease became a common theme. It was behind heart attacks, chronic fatigue and dementia as well as diabetes and obesity. No-one I knew in healthcare was looking at it. I learnt more about mitochondrial health, glucose metabolism, body composition and ketogenic diets.

Of course, the people I saw were not a collection of data points. Unique experiences are not only part of health, they are sometimes behind it too. Medical training teaches “remain professional” which actually means, “stay out of the emotional side”. But to support people into health I had to retrain here as well. I choose to study psychotherapy and breathwork. I now rarely focus on delivering “therapy” but this training changed me and the way I interact with patients the better.

Taking a broad approach to health has helped my clients not just change their numbers but change how they feel about life. They have lost fat but not muscle, sleep better and have more energy. They are going to live longer better lives and prove that illness and disease are reversible.

Key Features of Proactive Health

The disease CONTINUUM

Disease develops over decades and can be detected at a variety of different stages. The early stages in particular, before scarring or fibrosis have occurred, are also reversible.

PERSONALISED Approach

Your experiences and current life are unique, so a health program needs to be tailored to your bio individuality. What works on average for a population isn’t necessarily the optimal treatment for you.

Act EARLY for Success

Look in depth at your total health so that you can intervene early and make changes. Steer towards health by heeding the early warning signs.

SCIENTIFIC Rigour

Recognise the strengths and weaknesses of applying leading-edge research to your life. Respect your individual experience. Weigh up the benefits and drawbacks of interventions in the context of the whole person.

MINDSET

Let’s establish a relationship where you are known. Where you have an understanding of what will drive your health. Where you are empowered to adapt and reap the benefits.

Your BIOLOGY

Evolutionary adaptation means our body can respond to particular stimuli with repair, recovery, growth and health. Our biology is inherently intelligent and geared to protect us from harm.

HEALTH+CARE

Let’s find the troublesome patterns and your unique opportunities to change. Let’s prioritise for the biggest wins and bring about the most long-lasting results. Let’s do it in a way that puts your emotional and cognitive health centre stage.
