The Consultation

What ninety minutes makes possible.

Most consultations are built around a single problem. This one is built around a whole person, which requires a closer look.

01

The whole history

Work, sleep, food, movement, stress, family history, and the questions you were not sure were worth asking.

02

Examination, and the right investigations

Clinical examination, and the investigations that your history and your risks actually call for, decided with the doctor sitting in front of you.

03

The explanation

What the findings mean, in plain language, while you are still there to ask about them.

04

The plan

Two or three specific changes with the largest expected effect for you, written down, with a timeframe and a review.

Who It's For

For people who want to live well, not simply longer.

For people who don't simply want to live longer, but want to live well, with vitality, clarity, resilience, and purpose.

Patients usually come to this service when:

  • You feel well, and want to stay well, taking a proactive approach to your future health.
  • You want to understand your health more deeply, rather than being told that your routine tests are “normal”.
  • You have noticed changes as you age: energy, weight, sleep, fitness, or resilience.
  • You want to age well, preserving your vitality, physical function, independence, and quality of life for as long as possible.
  • You have had a health wake-up call, and want to understand your risks and what you can do to improve your future health.
  • You lead a busy or demanding life, and want to optimise your energy, sleep, recovery, and ability to thrive.
  • You want to invest in your future health, addressing potential risks and building healthier habits before illness develops.
  • You are looking for a more holistic approach, bringing together medical insight, lifestyle, movement, mindfulness, and inner balance.
The Approach

Two disciplines, one consultation.

The science

Thirty years in general practice. Diagnostics, metabolic and biomarker assessment, and the pattern recognition that only comes from having seen how illness actually arrives: slowly, and long before it becomes a diagnosis.

The stillness

Sivananda-trained in Hatha and Kundalini yoga, with long training in breathwork and meditation. The physiology of the breath, the vagus nerve, and a nervous system that is either recovering or is not.

The two are usually practised apart. Here, they meet in the same room, in the same hour and a half.

The Longer View

Health in harmony with how you live.

Longevity is often presented as a project: a programme to follow, a protocol to complete, a number to move. Dr Vimple begins with the person in front of her, and with how they actually live, and lets the medicine follow from that.

Health, in her view, is a matter of being in harmony with the way you live. Your work, your rest, your food, your breath, and the world around you.

You do not need to remake your life. You need to understand it, and then adjust it where adjustment will count.

Chosen with you. Explained plainly. Reviewed honestly.

The Foundation

The science behind the stillness.

Breath, vagal tone, and the principles of yoga are treated here as physiology rather than as wellness: measurable, teachable, and held to the same standard of evidence as everything else Dr Vimple does.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is this just being told to eat less and move more?

This service starts where that advice stops. It begins by measuring what is actually happening (bloods, metabolic markers, sleep, current intake and activity), identifies the one or two changes with the biggest return for you specifically, and builds them into your week in a form you can sustain.

What happens in the first consultation?

A long conversation about how you actually live — work pattern, sleep, food, alcohol, movement, stress — followed by examination and relevant testing. You leave with two or three specific changes, not a lecture and not a list of thirty.

How long before I notice a difference?

It depends entirely on the change and the person. Sleep and energy often shift within a few weeks; weight, blood pressure, and metabolic markers take longer. Dr Vimple will set honest expectations at the outset rather than promising a timeline she cannot control.

Do I need to give up alcohol, coffee, or the food I enjoy?

Almost never entirely. Sustainable change is the goal, and plans that require you to dislike your own life do not last. Reduction, timing, and substitution usually achieve more than prohibition.

Can this replace my medication?

No. Never stop or change prescribed medication without medical advice. Lifestyle change works alongside treatment — and where it does eventually allow a medication to be reduced, that decision is made by your doctor, with monitoring.

Do you offer weight-loss injections?

Weight management is assessed individually. Any prescription medicine is considered only after a full medical assessment, only where clinically appropriate, and always alongside nutritional and behavioural support rather than instead of it.

What happens after the ninety minutes?

You leave with a written plan and a review arranged. Progress is reviewed honestly, and where something is not working it gets changed rather than repeated.
