Anti-Ageing

“20 years from now you’d give anything to be this exact age, exactly this healthy, in this exact moment.Take a second to enjoy it.” Richard Webster As I get older, I am increasingly interested in the subject of ageing, both professionally and personally. I recently read the book Lifespan by David Sinclair which covers some of the new science behind why we age. Put simply, Sinclair argues that the way we look at age-related diseases is fundamentally wrong. As a result, he believes we still don’t have a true understanding of the biology of ageing, and therefore don’t have the …

Addicted to …..

As featured in last weekend’s Sunday Times, the Dr Khalique Medical Practice in Marylebone has formed a partnership with the renowned cognitive behavioural therapist, Rameez Ali. The purpose of this collaboration is to establish a dedicated treatment service for the highly addictive drug called Captagon – an amphetamine that is currently being mass-produced in Syria and is rapidly spreading throughout the Middle East.

Food Glorious Food

There are so many reasons why we should eat well. The primary one is to live longer lives in good health. There’s also improved energy, stamina and immune health, good skin, mood and mental wellbeing – the list goes on. But it’s easy to get confused about what constitutes a healthy diet. Our lives are busier than ever and we’re time poor, so pre-prepared and processed foods can seem like a godsend.

Embracing Equity this International Women’s Day

Ahead of International Women’s Day tomorrow, I’ve been spending some time thinking about the brilliant women who have helped make the practice what it is today. I’ve spent my career surrounded by exceptional females – from friends to colleagues and patients too. Every day. I am inspired by the women (and of course men too) around me, and its these people that have helped us build the practice that you see today. Since way before I first started the Dr Sophia Khalique Medical Practice Marylebone, I’ve been passionate about the idea of celebrating individuality, so making sure that it is …
