What are the Components of Real Health?
OUR FOOD
We promote a whole food, low carbohydrate way of eating. This has been scientifically proven to reduce weight, improve inflammation, and reverse many cases of diabetes. The food is delicious and we can guarantee, you won't be hungry! We also get into the guts of gut health, an emerging area that is clearly important to our health.
OUR MIND
Weight loss psychology is so important! We empower you to harness your mind - the most powerful tool in the quest for good health. We get to the heart of emotional eating. Imagine if you no longer fell victim to emotional eating. We teach you how to change your mindset, your habits, and offer you the ultimate reward of food freedom!
OUR ENVIRONMENT
In this fast-paced world of pressure and deadlines, our bodies and brains are suffering.
Sleep, sunshine and social connection all affect our health and wellbeing. We explain the science behind this, and help you reconnect to the things that are important to optimise your health. Understanding cortisol is the key to long term sustainable weight loss.
DISASTER LOOMING
There is a tsunami of chronic disease heading our way that threatens our health, our lives, and our community.
We are experiencing record numbers of obesity, diabetes and chronic inflammation. We are flooded with depression, anxiety, stress and poor self-worth. We are tired, hungry and over-wrought.
We are surviving but not thriving.
This deluge of long term chronic health conditions will bankrupt our health system, but more importantly hurt us, our families and our friends. Something has to change!
REAL CHANGE IS POSSIBLE
The exciting thing is that we can change our health path.
At Real Life Medicine, as holistic weight loss doctors, we are here to help guide you. We will empower you to reclaim your health and live your life on your terms.
We offer real solutions to tackle weight loss and chronic metabolic health conditions.
We address the biological drive to eat using a real food low carbohydrate approach. Then we tackle the psychological drivers and get to the root cause of overwhelm. We do this with kindness, compassion and support. You can lose weight and reclaim your health!

Can We Tell You About Us?
We are Dr Mary Barson and Dr Lucy Burns. We are medical doctors with an intense interest in weight management and addressing the root cause of the problem.
⚡️Newsflash-The root cause is NOT that you are lazy and greedy and have no willpower
Why are we so interested in weight management?
Well, 2 reasons:
1. Like many of you, we have both been on a weight loss journey.
2. We see the profound effects this problem has on the health of our patients resulting in more disease, more medications and more complications.
Dr Mary has PCOS, a hormonal condition that results in weight gain from puberty. She tried for decades to manage her weight. She exercised like crazy. She followed traditional diet advice. She finally found the solution by changing what and when she ate-not how much she ate. This allowed her to rebalance those hormones, shed the kilos and even have a baby.
Dr Lucy was the diet queen. She has been on every diet known to (wo)man. She was excellent at losing weight but keeping it off was the issue. She had "fat clothes" and "thin clothes" in her wardrobe. She was most definitely the all-or-nothing girl. Perfect- restricting like mad. Then when life got in the way she was on a bender, regaining all the lost weight. Changing her thinking around dieting has resulted in her weight being stable for years... even when she goes on holidays or life gets messy.
As lifestyle medicine doctors, we guide you along the path to improved metabolism. We give you a metabolic map if you will.
As doctors of psychological medicine, we help you shift your thoughts and manage your emotions-Fine tuning your inner compass.
With the right map and a well functioning compass, you are now on the correct path to long lasting weight loss and good health.
