Exercise and Nutrition for those who use Clozapine and Antipsychotic medication

 

 

 

We are a bespoke Consultancy Company working with a range of NHS providers offering professional Exercise and Nutrition advice for Schizophrenia patients affected by weight gain.

What we do

At Lotus Health Consultancy Group (LHCG) our services include supporting the employment of gym instructors and nutritional advisors within the NHS, specifically to work with service users who are prescribed Clozapine and other anti-psychotic medications. Our consultancy services offer comprehensive performance evaluations for practitioners. We specialise in identifying areas of strength and areas that may need development.

We are dedicated to working with:

  • Pharmaceutical companies
  • Integrated Care Boards
  • Primary Care services

  • Community Mental Health services
  • Mental Health charities
  • Private Hospital care

We endeavour to promote a culture of weight loss, nationally, for a largely forgotten community of people. We understand schizophrenia and are able to support mental health organisations constructing a service for users to manage their weight, as part of service delivery.

We understand exercise and nutrition and how to combat the side effects of increased appetite and weight gain due to anti-psychotic prescription. We know what exercise and a complete dietary and nutritional overhaul can do.

LHCG will work closely with healthcare professionals to ensure seamless integration of our consultancy services into a user's care plan.  

We strive to be a trusted partner in helping you deliver exceptional holistic care to the service user.  We will introduce Clozapine clinics to better inform food choices for service users, promoting positive behavioural change and enhanced overall wellbeing.

 

Why we do it

We provide a multidisciplinary approach to address both physical and mental health needs because we believe that comprehensive care leads to better outcomes. 

Clozapine is primarily used to treat Schizophrenia and is also associated with a number of serious side effects such as heart disease. Physical activity has been shown to have numerous benefits for mental health. 

Our goal is to provide comprehensive care that complements the current treatment regimes.  LHCG believe that by managing weight it will stop the introduction and the secondary side effects contributing to negative physical health.

A Strength-based Approach to consultation

LHCG focuses on identifying and leveraging the existing strengths, capabilities and resources of an organisation and not their weaknesses in achieving their goals. We understand that every organisation has its own unique set of strengths. Therefore, we only emphasise  on identifying and building on what is already working well.  Focusing on the strengths of an organisation will achieve personal success as well as growth and development.

This approach promotes a positive mindset, resilience and the potential for sustainable solutions, which will transfer to the service user to improve their health as part of a recovery model.
