Welcome to Sarai Holistic Care
Director Sarai Holistic Care (SHC), a Lifestyle Medicine (LM) General Medical Practice in Francistown, Botswana. Lifestyle medicine is a medical specialty that uses therapeutic lifestyle interventions as a primary modality to treat chronic conditions including, but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Lifestyle medicine certified clinicians are trained to apply evidence-based, whole-person, prescriptive lifestyle change to treat and, when used intensively, often reverse such conditions. Applying the six pillars of lifestyle medicine—a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances and positive social connections—also provides effective prevention for these conditions.
Among LM focused services offered are general medical and surgical consultations, preventative screening HIV testing and HIV/AIDS management, screening, referral and support for Substance Abuse and Alcohol Use Disorders, support for palliative care and home visits. Additionally Sarai HC offers Behaviour Change Facilitation and coaching for anxiety, eating disorders, alcohol and substance abuse as well as well as Stress Reduction, and Resilience Training using Mindfulness Based Interventions (MBIs). Sarai HC is also passionate about workplace wellness and empowering the community.
