Dr Lucy Burns

Witnessing the astronomical rise in metabolic health conditions such as insulin resistance, obesity, and diabetes, Dr Lucy moved away from traditional short-consult care and began to address the root cause of disease through lifestyle medicine.

In 2019, she co-founded Real Life Medicine with her colleague, Dr Mary Barson. They run online programs that help people (mainly women in midlife) address metabolic health by reducing insulin resistance, unlearning diet culture, and improving mindset, with tools for easy implementation.

In 2024, she founded RLM telehealth, which offers long consultations utilising a collaborative care model across three areas – Metabolic health, Mental health and Menopause care. She is a sought-after public speaker and has spoken at many medical conferences on the management of obesity and weight gain in the midlife woman.
