Dr Helen Monk
I am a retired General Medical Practitioner with over 30 years of experience. My career began in Paediatrics before transitioning into Family Medicine, where I developed a keen interest in Lifestyle Medicine.
In 2020, my life took an unexpected turn when I sustained a brain injury and I found myself in the role of a patient rather than doctor! After being discharged from the hospital, it seemed as if I had to simply "wait to get better." But that left me wondering—what actually drives recovery?
With advancements in medical cell biology and environmental science, I discovered evidence-based solutions that could actively support my healing. This realisation led me to research how lifestyle choices could enhance my recovery. My biggest motivation? Reducing my risk of dementia and other neurodegenerative problems that are often increased after these injuries. This journey—exploring simple, practical strategies to improve brain function—has fascinated me, given me hope and a burning desire to share this emerging information with others These insights are not just valuable for those recovering from brain injuries, but for anyone looking to protect and nurture their brain health.
I warmly invite you to join me on a transformative path to recovery at The Recovery School , where you’ll find condition-specific brain recovery and wellbeing optimisation programmes designed to support you through every stage of life.
Whether you're recovering from a brain injury, want to heal from a neurological condition or simply seeking to optimise your brain health, these programmes are here to help you feel revitalised, motivated, and empowered to take charge of your health — now and for the long term.
Unlock your full potential. This is your journey — you don’t have to walk it alone..
