obesity treatments, she considers obesity to be a chronic disease requiring treatment.

Fortunately, she has the opportunity to help her patients achieve this through online long-distant prescribing on MyBMI.

She has an interest in the biochemistry of nutrition, the biochemistry of nutrition recruits a multitude of scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry and physics, to gain a deeper understanding of aspects such as cell function and metabolism.

Lou does not hold with the now-outdated notion of “calories in, calories out” school of thought. She believes it is how your body metabolises what you eat that determines your final weight.

She also has an interest in Epigenetic diets and how lifestyle modifications can benefit the body, including the microbiome status.
