NHS Oncologist Dr Charlotte Atkinson shares her personal experience of Lifestyle Medicine and how this has influenced her practice.

Personal experience was to shape Oncologist Dr Charlotte Atkinson’s view of Lifestyle and Complementary Medicine. Following a ‘health crash’ from overwork, it was a range of such approaches that helped her restore her equilibrium. This experience was to change her understanding of the potential of other modalities to support the wellbeing of her patients and influence not only their quality of life, but also their long term outcomes. In this episode of the Yes to Life Show, Dr Atkinson discusses the forces at work shaping oncology, and the steps required to support a wider adoption of Integrative Oncology.
