Live More Health
Improving health outcomes in psychiatric hospitals with tailored exercise, culinary medicine & world-class art.
Problem
Statistically, people with severe mental illness die 20 years younger than the remaining population. This is largely because of poor physical health caused by sedentary lifestyles and inadequate nutrition.
Solution
Live More improves patient and staff health by implementing lifestyle psychiatry through tailored exercise programmes, culinary medicine & teaching how to cook healthy food in ward kitchens, and transforming hospital gym environments with world-class art.
The culinary medicine is delivered through collaboration with Doctors Kitchen; the art through collaboration with artist Rebecca Bryne.
Live More has helped to reduce violence by 30% in PICU quality improvement work.
