This week on the podcast Mikki speaks to Dr. Michelle Woolhouse, a  multifaceted physician whose work blends the best of western medical training with the insights of integrative and complementary therapies. Michelle is a general practitioner with qualifications in psychotherapy, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, and integrative medicine. She’s also the co-founder of Vively, a platform designed to empower people to take control of their metabolic health through cutting-edge tools like continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).

They unpack the journey that brought Michelle to focus on whole-person health.

They discuss the importance of recognising early warning signs of poor metabolic health—long before traditional markers like HbA1c flag a problem. Michelle also explores how lifestyle factors such as stress, sleep, and diet intersect with metabolic health and how her work with Vively is reshaping how people engage with their health through personalised insights and actionable data.

If you’ve ever wondered how technology can bridge the gap between prevention and treatment, or how we might transform mainstream healthcare to prioritise proactive care over reactive care, this episode is for you.
