Help Prevent Illness and Focus on Wellness
Safeguard your Child's Future Health
Dr. Monica Gupta
General Paediatrician, specialising in Lifestyle medicine, with an interest in dietary health, Ambulatory care, and Nephrology. Lead for adolescent mental health, holistic and preventative medicine.
Why wait until something goes wrong before going to see a doctor, why not be mindful that the choices we make today will have an impact on our future health. Let us focus on creating health, not just treating diseases when it happen. If there are symptoms, I will help work through those with you. That is already my current day job, but I will apply a holistic approach to healing and wellbeing as well as advising on current best medical practices on how we may prevent symptoms for the future.
A lot of the cases I now see in my clinics are lifestyle illnesses, modifiable with different lifestyle choices. Small swaps that can have big impacts. The air we breathe, the food we eat and the information we are continuously pouring into our minds. Sleep deprivation has already had a significant negative effect on our children's mental and physical health and our own. It was not this widespread when I first started my training, back in the 90s.
In many situations, the body can, and is meant to, heal itself if given the right environment and circumstances. There is no need to rely on chemicals or medication all the time for some conditions. I want to help my patients achieve health and well-being by going back to basics.

5 Domains - ( M E N D S )
Movement /Nature
The value of learning through play, being active and out in the fresh air.
Environment/Community/Connections
Inflate your child's inner self-esteem balloon. Give specific praise and ensure the praise to criticism ratio is at least 5:1. How much face-to-face human contact does your child have with other children and their community?
Nurture ourselves and those we look after
Acknowledge your child's big emotions, they are trying to tell you something. Allow them to be SEEN, HEARD and UNDERSTOOD. Connect before you re-direct. Listen to your own body too. Self care, equally important to apply oxygen mask to yourself first to allow you the energy to care for another.
Diet and Nutrition
What we choose to eat is the single most important decision we make that will impact on our future health. Make the plate of food as colourful as possible. Eat locally sourced, seasonal and real food whenever possible.
Sleep/Social media/Screens
Sleep is when our bodies heal, regenerate, repair and detoxify. In children, it is when growth hormone is released. Lack of good quality sleep will impact every cell of our body and impact our ability to focus and concentrate at school.
