Lifestyle Medicine Society: Welfare Officer

My name is Veronica and I am studying Biomedical Science. I am currently in my second year of my studies and after a year of living away from the comfort of my parents home, I recognised the importance of healthy eating, regular physical activity, maintaining work-life balance, getting enough sleep, and the extent to which all of these factors contribute to our mental health. Having implemented the various tips and tricks I learned during my time in the society into my daily life, I have reaped the benefits of good mental health, such as of better mood, positivity, increased motivation and resilience. Thus, I became a passionate supporter of the way we can transform our mental and physical health by changing our lifestyle habits, hence of lifestyle medicine! I strongly believe that your lifestyle is our foundation of health, and I would love to be your point of contact in case you need some type of support in which case I will be able to sign post you in the right direction. Personally, as a female and overseas student, I believe diversity and inclusivity play a key role in a society, where everyone can be themselves and enjoy the time spent together. I will make sure that our society maintains an inclusive atmosphere, where everyone feel involved, relaxed and heard.
