In this episode of Prescribing Lifestyle, I’m sharing something very personal—I wrote a book!

I never set out to become an author, but after years of working as a Lifestyle GP and seeing how small, consistent changes transform lives, I felt the urge to put it all into a book. This episode takes you behind the scenes of that journey—from joining the Ultimate 48-Hour Author Retreat to pressing send on my final manuscript.

Whether you’re curious about writing, lifestyle medicine, or just love hearing a good behind-the-scenes story, this episode is for you.

What you'll learn in this episode:

→ Why I decided to write Prescribing Lifestyle: A Doctor’s Prescription for Lasting Weight Loss and Vibrant Health

→ How I planned, wrote, and submitted a full book while running a clinic

→ What mindset shifts helped me finish it (even when it felt awkward or overwhelming)

→ Why this book is an extension of my mission to empower patients

→ The surprising parallels between writing a book and making lifestyle changes

→ What to expect in the book—and why it’s not about perfection

📌 Mentioned in this episode:

• Prescribing Lifestyle is now available for pre-order via www.mlcclinic.com.au
• My first book: Low Carb Made Easy
• Ultimate 48-Hour Author Retreat
• The mantra that got me through: This is simple. This is easy. This is fun.
