Elite Lifestyle Medicine LTD 🩺Frontline A&E doctor teaching structured metabolic recovery to busy professionals to avoid burn out. The Midlife Mojo Doctor. Health, uncomplicated.

Support from both sides of the Stethoscope. Mojo, restored. I’m Dr. Kiri — The Midlife Mojo Doctor 🩺

After nearly 27 years as a frontline doctor, I know what it’s like to run on empty—living on caffeine and sugar, juggling everyone’s needs, and wondering if the brain fog, bloating, and exhaustion are just part of midlife. I’d lose it over small things—traffic, laundry, forgetting why I

walked into a room. In my forties, I was burnt out, inflamed, and thinking, is this it? Spoiler: it wasn’t. I stopped masking symptoms and started listening to my body. Natural nutrition and lifestyle medicine became my rescue plan—no diets, no extremes, just realistic changes that worked. I’m still gobsmacked at my results, which I’ve sustained the past 3 years effortlessly, and how it has made my life easier and so much happier, and this is why I’m on a mission to help others just like me to do the same. It’s game-changing to get your MOJO back! It lights me up to see my clients achieve the same. It gives me such a buzz seeing them fly high once more, rocking their world! I’m a cheerleader and accountability buddy, and I get what it’s like. Now, as The Midlife Mojo Doctor, I help busy professionals (especially those secretly running on empty) reclaim their energy and feel like themselves again. You don’t have to sacrifice your health to keep everything else going. And don’t say you’re too busy—I’m a single parent, doctor, coach, teenage referee/taxi, and dog mum. If I can do it, so can you. This isn’t about overhauling your life. It’s about fitting simple, sustainable steps into your real world. If you’re ready to get your MOJO back—energised, focused, and in control—let’s connect

What do you want your health to let you keep doing?

It’s a question I don’t think we ask ourselves often enough.

Most people initially tell me they want more energy, better sleep or to lose some weight.
They’re all perfectly reasonable goals.

But I usually ask a second question.

Why?

That’s when the conversation changes.
“I want the energy to enjoy holidays again.”
“I want to keep up with my grandchildren.”
“I want to stay independent.”
“I want to keep dancing.”
“I want to retire knowing my body will let me enjoy it.”

Those are the reasons that matter most.

After nearly 30 years working in A&E, I’ve seen how quickly someone’s world can become smaller when their health begins to limit what they can do.

That’s one of the reasons I’m so passionate about helping people ask themselves these questions much earlier, while there’s still so much opportunity to shape the future.
Not because something is wrong.
Because your future health is being shaped by the choices you make today.

Looking after your health isn’t simply about avoiding illness.
It’s about protecting the life you want to keep living.

Over the coming weeks I’ll be sharing more of the questions I think are worth asking before our health makes the decision for us.

What a wonderful evening. ✨

Last night I had the pleasure of attending Jazz on the Tor, a Gatsby-inspired charity evening organised by my lovely friend Shannon in partnership with .rotary.club of Okehampton. Hosted at Bracken Tor YHA.

From the sparkle of the flapper dresses to the incredible live music from Jazz Band, delicious food from , and finishing the evening toasting giant marshmallows, there were smiles all round.

What made the evening even more special was seeing so many people generously giving their time to raise money for local charities in Okehampton.

A special mention to Jo from and her friend Heidi, who were busy looking after guests throughout the evening, and to see three women from helping bring such a fantastic first event to life.

It reminded me that when passionate people collaborate, amazing things happen.

Congratulations to everyone involved. Here’s hoping this is the first of many. 🌹

Have you ever noticed how much easier it is to look after everyone else than it is to look after yourself?

It’s something I’ve thought about a lot over the last few years.

One of the questions I often ask myself now is why it felt so much easier to care for everyone else than it did to care for myself.

For years, I thought I was simply busy.

Busy being a doctor.

Busy being a mum.

Busy keeping everything going.

Busy trying to be the dependable one.

Looking back, I can see that every time my body whispered, I found a reason not to listen.

Not because I didn’t care.

Because everyone else seemed to need me more.

During my own burnout, I knew what I should be doing. I just didn’t have the headspace to do it.

That experience changed the way I practise medicine.

It’s why I often say I work from both sides of the stethoscope.

I’ve seen the incredible things modern medicine can do when people become seriously ill.

But I’ve become just as passionate about something else.

Helping people have conversations about their health much earlier.

Not because something is wrong.

Not because they need another appointment.

But because so many of the things that shape our future health begin long before we ever need to see a doctor.

Those conversations can happen around the kitchen table.

On a walk with a friend.

At work.

Within families.

Or with someone who simply takes the time to listen and help you make sense of what’s been feeling ‘not quite right’.

Because prevention isn’t about living in fear of illness.

It’s about protecting the life you want to keep living.

So this weekend, here’s a question to sit with.

What is one small way you could look after yourself this week, with the same kindness you’d show someone you love?

“I put it all down to age and resigned myself to the thought that this was what life would be like from now on.”Those wo...

“I put it all down to age and resigned myself to the thought that this was what life would be like from now on.”

Those words came from a busy teacher and working parent who had convinced herself that exhaustion, poor sleep and brain fog were simply part of getting older.

Like many people, she’d gradually accepted that this was just how midlife felt.

It wasn’t.

Over the following months, she slept better, found complete food freedom and, in her own words, was “living life again.”

This week I’ve been talking about the five whispers your body gives you before it starts shouting.

Persistent tiredness.
Poor sleep.
Brain fog.
Sugar cravings.
A body that no longer feels like your own.

They’re often dismissed as “just age.”

Sometimes they are your body’s early way of asking for help.

As an A&E doctor, I spend my working life looking after people when their health has already reached crisis point.

Through Elite Lifestyle Medicine Ltd, my goal is to help people recognise those quieter whispers much earlier, while there’s still an opportunity to change the story.

Ageing is inevitable.

One of the biggest myths I see is that people become unwell overnight.

It usually doesn’t happen that way.

As an A&E doctor, I know that many health problems don’t begin with a crisis. More often, our bodies have been trying to tell us something for weeks, months or even years.

Most people can look back and recognise the small signs were there all along.

They just didn’t seem important enough at the time.

That’s completely understandable.

Life gets busy.

Work, family and everyone else’s needs often come first.

But if your body has been quietly trying to tell you something, it’s worth listening.

Not because you should feel worried.

Because you still have the opportunity to change direction.

Looking after your health isn’t about chasing perfection.

It’s about protecting the future version of you.

The one who wants to keep travelling.

Keep playing with grandchildren.

Keep walking.

Keep dancing.

Keep living independently.

Those little whispers matter.

Because your body usually whispers before it screams.

Today I found out I’ve been nominated for the West Country Women Awards in the Women in Health, Social Care & Wellbeing category.

I have no idea who nominated me because it was anonymous, but if you’re reading this… thank you.

Reading your words reminded me why I started this journey in the first place.

After 28 years as a doctor, mostly working in A&E, I’ve seen the consequences of people putting their own health at the bottom of the list until their body eventually forces them to stop. I realised I wanted to help people long before they reached that point.

One sentence from the nomination particularly stayed with me:

“She genuinely wants people to live healthier, happier lives, and that passion shines through in everything she does.”

If that’s how my work is experienced by someone else, then I couldn’t ask for more.

Whether I’m caring for patients in the Emergency Department, supporting clients through Elite Lifestyle Medicine or creating spaces where healthcare professionals can put their own health first, my mission has remained the same. To help the reliable people everyone else depends on protect their health before they become patients themselves.

Thank you to whoever nominated me, and thank you to every patient, client, colleague, friend and family member who has trusted, supported and encouraged me along the way.

Whatever happens next, this nomination has already reminded me that the work matters.

Support from both sides of the stethoscope

If you’re looking for something a little different this Friday evening and you’d like to support a fantastic cause, this might be just the ticket. 🎷✨

My lovely friend Shannon, and fellow Devon Women In Business member, has organised Jazz on the Tor, a glamorous Gatsby-inspired charity evening in Okehampton.

Expect live jazz, a delicious curry, 1920s Gatsby glamour and great company, all while raising money for charity.

Even better, you can request your favourite jazz classic and the band will do their best to play it during the evening. 🎶

There are still a few tickets available, so if you’re local and fancy a memorable night out for a good cause, I’d love to see this event sell out.

You can get your tickets here:

Please do share this with anyone who loves live music, good food and supporting local charities. 💛

Most emergencies don’t start in A&E.

Some illnesses and injuries really do happen suddenly and without warning, and I know many families have experienced the shock of that.

But over nearly 30 years working in A&E, one of the saddest things I’ve learnt is that many of the emergencies we treat have often been developing quietly for weeks, months or even years.

They don’t usually begin with blue lights, ambulances or dramatic symptoms.

More often, they begin with small changes that are easy to explain away.

Feeling more tired than usual.

Relying on another coffee just to get through the afternoon.

Poor sleep.

Reaching for sugar to keep going.

Finding your concentration isn’t quite what it used to be.

Telling yourself,

“It’s probably just stress.”

“I’m just getting older.”

“I’ll sort it out once life calms down.”

I understand that thinking because I’ve been there too.

During my own burnout, I knew what I should be doing. I just didn’t have the headspace to do it.

The people I work with are often the people everyone else depends on.

They’re supporting children.

Helping young adults find their feet.

Caring for ageing parents.

Leading teams.

Running businesses.

Looking after patients.

Keeping family life moving.

They’re so busy looking after everyone else that they quietly stop listening when their own body starts asking for help.

For many people who come through our doors, those early whispers have become much louder by the time we meet them.

That’s why I’m so passionate about helping people recognise those whispers sooner.

Not to create worry.

To create opportunity.

The opportunity to make small changes before they become bigger problems.

Because if you’re the person everyone else depends on, staying well isn’t just important for you.

It’s important for the people who depend on you too.
