Practitioners

Dr Fatima Mohammed Alkali

Dr Fatima is a qualified Lifestyle Medicine physician with a passion for holistic care. She currently works in the NHS and offers private services. Fatima hopes to dedicate time and resources to maximize the benefits of lifestyle medicine to her patients.

At the heart of Dr Fatima’s philosophy lies a commitment to "whole person" care, which is central to the field of lifestyle medicine. This approach transcends the traditional focus on symptoms, embracing a comprehensive understanding of each patient — encompassing their nutrition, weight management, sleep patterns, mental well-being, substance use, and social interactions. For Fatima, this holistic methodology is more than just a treatment modality; it's a guiding principle for achieving genuine, long-lasting health.

The "whole person" approach also emphasizes the importance of self-realization and overall well-being. Fatima believes that with appropriate guidance and tools, such as health coaching, individuals can unlock their inherent ability to manage their health effectively. This philosophy is a cornerstone of Alkali Health Clinic's approach, focusing not only on providing solutions but also on guiding individuals towards an understanding of their unique capabilities in shaping their health and well-being.

Beyond her clinical expertise, Dr Fatima has an extensive academic background in Medical Education and Health Policy. She actively engages in the education and mentorship of medical students and junior clinicians, sharing her knowledge and experience. Additionally, Fatima dedicates her time to volunteering as a mentor for young girls in developing countries who aspire to pursue careers in health.
