Meet your partner in holistic health and wellbeing
Dr. Sherina Fernandes
MBBS BSc DCH nMRCGP IBLM BSLM
I’m a lifestyle medicine physician and certified coach with a 20-year medical background. My journey began in traditional healthcare as a GP, where I quickly recognised the need for a more holistic, root-cause approach to health.
My career path has evolved from GP work to a focus on lifestyle medicine, sparked by my own health journey in 2017. Completing a diploma in Lifestyle Medicine, the CHIP programme, training in plant-based nutrition and a coaching diploma, I developed a robust framework for helping clients build healthier, sustainable lifestyles.
As a coach, I believe that everyone has the capacity within themselves to create meaningful change. My coaching is designed to provide space, time, and guidance to empower clients to tap into their potential and discover personalised strategies for a healthier life. This is healthcare reimagined, where each person’s unique needs and lifestyle are at the centre of their care.
My experiences as a mother, a professional woman, and an advocate for lifestyle medicine have nurtured my passion for supporting others through burnout and menopause. I understand the challenges faced during these life stages, and I’m here to provide empathetic, evidence-based support.
If you're looking to transform your health, find balance, or explore personalised lifestyle coaching, book a call with me to discuss how I can help you start your journey.
Our Philosophy
At Renew Lifestyle, we approach health as a journey, not a destination.
Our philosophy revolves around preventive, personalised care that addresses every aspect of your life.
We focus on the six pillars of lifestyle medicine to build sustainable habits and support your mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing.
Each consultation is designed to empower you with knowledge and tools, helping you take control of your health journey with confidence and purpose.
Lifestyle Medicine is an evidence based answer to today’s health crisis. Our health service has not changed since it was set up yet we are seeing more and more chronic disease with lifestyle factors contributing to 80% of premature death.
We still focus on pills with lifestyle being an afterthought in medicine, this needs to change. We also need to stop separating physical and mental health with social and spiritual health, they all need to be addressed for optimal health and wellbeing.
The aim of lifestyle medicine is to put you in control of your own health by giving you the knowledge and tools to start improving your health, prevent and potentially reverse chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension and some autoimmune diseases.
Many studies have shown that focusing on these pillars leads to a longer healthier life. A study conducted between 1988-2006 showed that people who had a healthy diet, moved regularly, didn’t smoke and limited their alcohol consumption were 63% less likely to die over that time period. The Blue Zones are areas of the world with the highest number of living centenarians. People here are not just living longer, but are having a better quality of life, with full health into their 80s and 90s.
What residents of the blue zones all have in common is a healthy diet (consisting mainly of whole grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes), an active lifestyle, a busy social life with close family ties, having a purpose in life and not smoking.
Renew Lifestyle was set up to help inform and educate as many people as possible about lifestyle medicine so that they can have control over their own health and wellbeing by offering both individualised consultations, webinars and workshops to spread the message of lifestyle medicine.
