PREKURE

We exist to change the face of healthcare, to put prevention before cure and extend the human healthspan by teaching people how to empower others to prevent, manage and even reverse chronic lifestyle diseases and mental health challenges.

The Problem We Currently Face

It is estimated that one in ten globally, and one in five in most Western countries, suffer from some form of mental health disorder. Yet for many, the health system offers little help. How is it possible that at a time in human history when we have more wealth, more knowledge and more tools than ever before, we are failing to meet the needs of so many people?

The medical system we have today spends most of its budget on treating sickness and very little on disease prevention. On average, we spend the last 15 years of our lives suffering from the complications of one of the big four chronic diseases:
cancer, dementia, heart disease or diabetes. But the problem is that we medicate the symptoms, rather than treat the root cause of the disease.

Health Coaches trained in preventative lifestyle medicine and transformational coaching skills, are the missing link in healthcare. Health Coaches work in primary care or private practice to support people in making the critical lifestyle changes required to dramatically improve their wellbeing.

There is a massive shortage in mental health professionals who have thorough training in understanding and providing treatment for people experiencing a range of mild to moderate psychological difficulties. This is known as the treatment gap. Cutting edge science points to non-pharmacological solutions, such as improved nutrition, sleep, exercise, thermo-therapies, breathing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) tools as being highly effective.

“PREKURE was born from a real frustration that there was no emphasis on prevention in the healthcare system. That the best way to help people move towards a cure is preventing it in the first place.” – Louise Schofield, PREKURE Co-Founder and CEO.
