Dr Mark Craig

MBChB, BSc, MRCS, FRCGP, FRNZCGP

Dr Craig’s main passion is lifestyle medicine and specifically reversing and preventing disease disease through the whole food plant based diet. He was astounded by the depth and breadth of evidence supporting this, and why he wasn’t taught this is medical school or postgraduate studies. His main interest is now in disseminating this information and putting it into practice with patients. He has an increasing number of patient case studies where profound improvements to quality of life have been achieved.

Dr Craig hails from deepest Essex, UK, trained at Edinburgh and undertook surgical training in ENT before seeing the light and entering the real arena for medicine, primary care. He has 2 plant based boys age 8&10 and runs, swims and bikes for fun and races, powered only by plants.

He has set up a nutrition/ lifestyle consultancy www.truesouthmedical.co.nz to help patients make this change in their lives.

Dr Alena Pribyl

PhD

Dr Alena Pribyl is a senior scientist at Microba, a microbial genomics company that provides metagenomic gut microbiome profiles to general consumers and researchers. Alena has a PhD in fish physiology where she investigated physiological and molecular biomarkers of stress in fish. Following a National Research Council Postdoctoral Fellowship, she was awarded a prestigious fellowship through the California Council on Science and Technology to work in science policy at the California Legislature. She spent two years in science policy where she developed a passion for science outreach and communication. After arriving in Australia three years ago, she started working for the Australian Centre for Ecogenomics (ACE) at the University of Queensland where she added to her expertise in physiological and molecular biomarkers in the context of the human microbiome. One of her projects was to develop the science content for a novel platform that could be used to present metagenomic gut microbiome profiles. This platform later became the basis for Microba’s consumer results report.

Dr Michelle Reiss

MBChB, LMCC, CCFP, FRACGP, FASLM

Dr Michelle Reiss is a General Practitioner and a Director of Mingara Medical – a large multi-disciplinary Family Practice precinct on the NSW Central Coast. She is also founder of the Lifestyle Medicine Centre on the Central Coast which runs the “I Can Change Me” Lifestyle Medicine program for sustainable weight loss, prevention and reversal of chronic disease, and self-regulation for adults and children.

Michelle is a certified physician of the International Board of Lifestyle Medicine, Fellow of the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine and of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. She acts as GP advisor on Healthy Weight to the HNECC PHN, sits on their Healthy Weight taskforce, as well as on the HNECC PHN/ CC LHD Diabetes Working Group.

Alongside her general practice experience in South Africa, Canada and Australia, she also worked many years in acute care as a Hospitalist and Emergency Physician where she experienced first-hand the significant complications caused by chronic disease.

As a Lifestyle Medicine (LM) Physician, Michelle has now turned her passion to prevention and reversal of these diseases, rather than just “management”. She is a strong advocate for LM to be recognised as a sub-specialty in primary care due the complexities of the “Bio-Psycho-Social” aspects associated with sustainable lifestyle change. She also believes the sustainability of the LM profession itself lies in the shared-medical-appointment format and combining the multi-disciplines in delivering a “community of care”.

Prof Rachael Taylor

BSc(Hons), PhD

Professor Rachael Taylor is Deputy HoD of the Department of Medicine and Director of the Edgar Diabetes and Obesity Research Centre at the University of Otago, and the Healthy Weight theme leader of A Better Start, the National Science Challenge focused on improving health and wellbeing in New Zealand tamariki.

She leads several large randomised controlled trials investigating different approaches to obesity prevention and management in children and adults. Previous trials have ranged from interventions very early in life targeting the development of good eating and sleep behaviours to interventions in adults to determine the real-life feasibility of high-intensity interval training in overweight adults.

Current projects include validation of 24-hour movement patterns in children, and determination of the effect of sleep deprivation on diet and eating behaviour in children.

This conference was fantastic, I certainly got a lot out of it and would definitely go again next year! The calibre of the speakers was impressive and the topics were very relevant and practical.

This far exceeds any other medical conference I have ever been to. Your speakers were of high quality, your workshops were well organised and very relevant, and your MCs were phenomenal!

The attention to movement between sessions, wholesome food and outside activities totally embraces the fundamentals of Lifestyle Medicine.

Thank you again for the invitation to be a part of your conference. Many inspiring speakers and presentations, and can I just say, the food was fantastic! If only every conference took the details into consideration. Looking forward to next year!

It was an inspiring three days and I found the learnings very valuable. I have suggested to my organisation that this is a conference we should attend.

Loved, loved the Conference! Important messages that we need to spread.

This year was my first, but I hope to be back again in the future! There’s a lot happening out there that I had no inkling of.

Congratulations on such a spectacular conference. I see the future of Primary Care clearly now, and suspect that ASLM will lead the way. Thank you.

This is a far superior conference to any other I have attended in 20 years, and it was great that the videos of all the sessions and accompanying slides were made available to all attendees after the event.

This event pushed the bar of how inspiring conference can be held very high, and was the most enjoyable and stimulating event I have attended in a loooong time. Bravo!

[/fusion_testimonial][fusion_testimonial name=”Sponsor” avatar=”male” image=”” image_border_radius=”” company=”” link=”” target=”_self” hide_pop_tinymce=””]

The conference was excellent, and I agree that the standard was one of the highest of any I have attended in recent years.

The connection between environmental concerns and health was especially poignant and well presented.

What a privilege it was to see the grand event unfold so smoothly, comprehensively and professionally, yet remain fun, stimulating and warmly personal.

Lifestyle Medicine is a new learning subject for me personally. I have greatly enjoyed attending the conference; it has been an eye opener for me to know how much more I can do for my patients.

[/fusion_testimonial][fusion_testimonial name=”Delegate” avatar=”male” image=”” image_border_radius=”” company=”” link=”” target=”_self” hide_pop_tinymce=””]

Great variety of speakers and breadth of approaches. Great weekend! I thought the emphasis on social justice and ecosystem was great.
