The 6 Pillars of Health: A GP’s Framework for Living Well with Juliette Roex

Justin Waring Season 2 Episode 26

What does real health look like beyond prescriptions and short-term fixes?

In this episode of The EFM Health Club Podcast, we sit down with a General Practitioner, Juliette Roex, to unpack her six pillars of long-term health: exercise, nutrition, sleep, emotional wellbeing, social connection, and substance avoidance. Drawing from clinical experience, and as she emabrks on a quest as a lifestyle medicine crusader,  we explore why these pillars matter, how they interact, and why addressing just one in isolation often isn’t enough.

This conversation bridges the gap between medical practice and everyday life, offering practical insights into how small, consistent lifestyle choices can dramatically improve physical health, mental wellbeing, and resilience over time. Whether you’re trying to feel better day-to-day, prevent chronic illness, or support those around you, this episode provides a clear, evidence-informed framework for building better health from the ground up.

If you’ve ever wondered what doctors wish people focused on before things went wrong—this is a must-listen.  In our last edition of 2025, we've somehow left the best episode for last!!
