WELCOME FAIR
For the first time ever KCL Life Med was boasting a stall at the Welcome Fair!! It was a busy (and extremely hot) two days. Over 100 of you lovely enthusiastic people signed up to be a part of our society. We cannot thank you enough! We ran a competition to win 2 x 1 month gym passes to King's Gym and all you had to do was guess how many calories inhabited our sugar filled tuppaware! You guessed everything from hundreds to millions of kcals, and using every technique under the sun to try and guess it! The answer was nearly 18,000!!!! Although the calories might not come as a shock (from the range of answers the kcal content of food isn't well known), the craziest bit of this is that it only cost £10. Would we be able to fill a box with healthy, nutritious food for a tenner?
​
Lastly, a big thanks to Dr. Alex Maxwell who sacrificed some well earned time off to come help us at our stall and drum up a load of enthusiasm for our society and lifestyle medicine in general.
LEARN AND BURN
For our first event we hosted an interactive introduction to lifestyle medicine.
​
We had Dr Christopher Lutterodt (@dr.chris.george) , Dr Rupy Aujla (@doctors_kitchen) and Mike Lee (@MikeLeePT) to discuss what lifestyle medicine means to them and take you through how physical activity is important to preventative medicine. We’ll then worked up a sweat with a circuits class lead by Mike Lee.
SPICE UP YOUR LIFESTYLEÂ
CONFERENCE
April 2019, together with NULMS. we hosted the first ever undergraduate Lifestyle Medicine conference. We had students and academics attends from all across the country. Talks ran through each of the main themes of lifestyle medicine and we even got our attendees working up a sweat in CrossFit and Yoga sessions.
