I am a doctor specialising in cardiology and lifestyle medicine. I believe that everyone can experience better health, improved wellbeing and deeper meaning in their lives. My goal is to help people to live life to the full and on purpose.

Fit for Purpose is available now, published by Harper Collins. You can buy it from from Amazon, Waterstones, WH Smiths and Google Play amongst others. It’s available in paperback and e-book as well as the audiobook version read by me.
The book explores what it means to be fit for purpose in life: physically, mentally and spiritually. It describes the problems we face, both individually and as communities, and summarises the evidence for the key factors that determine our wellbeing. It lays down a challenge to avoid treating physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing as separate. Using my knowledge and experience of the worlds of medicine, behavioural change and faith, I present real life case studies and provide practical recommendations for making changes whether for ourselves, our faith community or wider society.
