Welcome to Improve My Health with Dr Sue Law
I'm here to do exactly what the name suggests - improve your health. Before we get off on the wrong foot though, I need to be clear about one thing – only you can improve your health.... but I would love to help you if you are finding it difficult, confusing or don’t know where to start.
I’m Sue, an experienced GP, occupational health and lifestyle doctor. I have a relaxed, friendly style and want becoming healthier and happier to be fun. You only have one life, let's make it as enjoyable as possible!
I can help you or your business to make small sustainable changes to improve health and well-being. I do this by sharing no-nonsense, practical health information and advice.
I live and work in Devon. I offer one-to-one and group consultations both in-person and by video consultation. I also give entertaining and informative talks, and webinars and run interactive workshops.
Your Health Needs You!
Why I hear you ask? Well, if you are into facts and figures then keep reading (it's a bit depressing but there is good news at the end!!!)

- Up to 90% of long-term conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer are preventable and caused by poor lifestyle choices.(3)

- 3 out of 4 people are not eating enough fruits and vegetables(6)

In summary, our modern lifestyle is making us ill!
The good news is that small changes can make a big difference to health and longevity.

The most useful things I learned from my sessions with Sue are to be kind to myself, to build small things into my daily routine rather than trying to make big changes which are difficult to maintain and it's important to prioritise myself
