About
Science made practical.
I help people make sense of complex health information and turn it into clear, realistic action.
Dr Elena Chirikhina, PhD
Health is a system, not a collection of isolated symptoms.
I am a UK Pharmacist Independent Prescriber, researcher and Lifestyle Medicine practitioner with a PhD in Skin Bioengineering and more than fifteen years of experience across health, skin, wellbeing and personalised care.
My work brings together Lifestyle Medicine, behaviour change, healthy-ageing science and relevant health data. I focus on the factors that shape how people feel and function over time: sleep, nutrition, movement, metabolic health, stress, relationships and daily behaviour.
I work especially with busy professionals, leaders and midlife adults who want greater clarity about their health—without exaggerated promises, generic protocols or unnecessary complexity.
