  7. Lifestyle Medicine Principles – Discover how daily habits influence long-term health.

Even though, from Chris's perspective, I'm just a "subscriber" student, having the opportunity to take his courses is incredibly valuable to me. The topics he covers (in this and in other courses), his approach to the main subject, the repetitions that help important concepts become firmly rooted in your mind, and his exceptional personality as a teacher all make learning through his courses both useful and enjoyable.

By Redentor Sirug on 12/23/2023

Wide coverage, not just physical health, compacted in one comprehensive health course. I was able to see the connections between the various topics and how they work together to becoming a better me. I love the one-video one-topic -style of presentation like this course. So many experiential insights, from a highly credible resource person – subject matter expert, that positively impact my perspective that could help me become a better person and a healthier me. Some pointers are thought-provoking that challenge my belief system. It’s really transformational. First day after completing the course, I reflected and revisited my habits and see better ways to do things. It definitely improves my lifestyle. Thank you so much for this wonderful course.

By Ivy Aviv Golde-Mulligan on 12/21/2023

I thoroughly look forward to diving into any course Master Instructor Chris Sivewright provides. I ALWAYS learn something new, and I enjoy learning it in the ways Chris presents the materials! *Update Why do I enjoy the courses Chris Sivewright offers? For anyone interested in learning quality University curriculum that is truly both educational and productive in yielding personal growth and development Master Chris's courses will not disappoint. I've been a personal trainer, a life coach and a spiritual leader for over 30 years and to discover these Oxford courses on such an affordable platform as Udemy has totally added to my quality of understanding topics of self improvement that I will carry forward and pass on to others for the rest of my life. Chris Sivewright is a true gem of wisdom, insight, encouragement and self challenge. Take his courses, prepare to roll up your sleeves and DO (the work), then watch yourself evolve into a better person right before your very own eyes...

By Erika on 9/3/2021

I found the course material interesting, in depth and thought provoking. I have incorporated a lot of what I learned into my daily routine and like having the "map" to help keep me on track. I see things differently after taking this course and highly suggest it for anyone seriously interested in health.

By KB McFadden on 6/29/2021

This a fantastic course. Be warned, it is not for the faint-hearted. People in that category might first investigate the instructor’s new course on “Frail to Fit in 50 Lectures” :-) Transformation sadly requires more of each of us than simply pushing the Play button, or idly half-watching a Udemy lecture while munching on crisps and scrolling Netflix. The overview of the course is deliberately stern, designed to deter time-wasters and Udemy tourists: “Please do NOT enrol on this course on impulse […] Joining my courses is a serious business and I want you to get the most out of your study – but I also want you to enjoy the course.” For those willing to dive in, this course will change your life, if you change! It clearly details how and why to optimize each area of your life: purpose, habits and routines, nutrition, exercise, sleep, optimal physiology. As Chris points out in the Overview – It’s your life, make the choice. The instructor has a long teaching history in secondary schools and universities, and this shows in the organization and logical progression of the course. It also shows in the invaluable workbooks, and frequent updating of material. He is passionate as well as knowledgeable about each subject, and imparts his experience generously, also providing the articles and research to back up each of his points and recommendations. The mountain of supplementary resources and workbooks can guide you through the course and remains useful long afterwards. You will have the necessary benchmarks and bio-analyses to tangibly measure your progress as you implement what you learn. As in all of Chris’s courses, students are encouraged to participate in the course through the Question & Answer section, interacting with the instructor and fellow students. This is makes learning come alive! Especially as students come from a wide array of countries and backgrounds. Chris is very active in the Q&A, guiding or even prodding students: “It's a pity that […in] a course that urges active participation, that in two years this is your only questions/participation.” Some may find this daunting. Chris demands a lot from them. Remember, you were warned in the Overview. Normally you would have to pay a life coach to get this level of personalized accountability and interaction… it is a bonus. Like the rest of the course, an opportunity to change.

By Lydia Fourie on 6/22/2021

The Holman Protocol short course is an interactive course where the students are encouraged to be involved and communicate within the course. This course also teaches one the importance on writing things down, planning is key. Downloaded my first workbook and I'm so happy to see that this is also an interactive activity. Health is not just a way of eating, it is a way of living, physically and emotionally, balance is key - this was something the Holman Protocol course taught me just a few lessons in. The course is filled with exciting information and tools on morning routines, intermitted fasting, food and water, exercise, the need for sleep, to name but a few.

By Jarhanlimpg Perez-Alfonso on 4/26/2021

This course is for people that are interesting in well being. For someone that would like to make a change in there life for the better. For people that want to be healthy from the inside out. This course offer lots of tools and ideas on how you can start a healthier routine. How to eat better food, lose weight, rest, sleep better and most of all feel better about yourself. so if you are looking for information on how can you change your life stile and be more healthy. you would definatetly like this course. i did!

By Jane Hill on 6/20/2018

Lifestyle changes bring many benefits, but for some knowing what the term 'lifestyle changes' actually means is the first step. This course provides the student with a comprehensive detailed path-way through the various stages and steps associated with lifestyle change which could, if adhered to, see the student lead a long, happy and illness free life. Highly recommended.

By C. Walker on 5/29/2018

I wasn't going to review but as I went through the vid and transcript it got so bad at times I felt I had no option. It's quite slow and boring - I sped up the spoken part. Transcription is very inaccurate and makes for disjointed reading not least because there's no punctuation. It is visually uninteresting an too long is spent looking at static screens with lots of black. If this is how the rest of the course is I may not bother.

By Abhishek Misra on 5/25/2018

The content is awesome because it has forced me not to hit the snooze button, for the past 7 days! It reinstates the good values and principles that we have senselessly trounced over! The "OTHER" paid courses on the Udemy are slightly shorter, slightly fast-paced and use graphics, and animation to make lessons interactive. I think this course takes a lot of time in "coming to the point". Also, the voice over seems low energy and slow-paced (as if contemplating). Hope to get more from you ...... Good Soul
