Luke Coutinho collaborates with Mpower to offer mental and emotional support to their integrative programs

Mumbai: Luke Coutinho, practicing in the space of Holistic Nutrition- Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine is strengthening his existing integrative lifestyle model with a dedicated emotional support segment by collaborating with Mpower, an initiative of the Aditya Birla Education Trust led by Neerja Birla that offers holistic mental counseling through established psychologists and psychiatrists in a secured manner.

Luke Coutinho and Neerja Birla who have known each other for over 7 years and have worked together share a common philosophy and vision towards approaching emotional and mental wellness. The collaboration will help integrate the benefits of a healthy mind to the overall physical development and growth.

Luke’s programs have been availed by patients with diseases ranging from all kinds of cancers, rare syndromes to diabetes, autism, Alzheimer’s, lifestyle diseases, skin and hair problems, obesity issues etc. A lot of people with such conditions require emotional and mental support at a professional level, which this collaboration helps address.

‘You Care Wellness’ association with Mpower signifies a new beginning, adding value to Luke’s patients, as integrative and lifestyle medicine is not just about the symptom, but also addressing the root cause of the problem which besides needing nutrition and exercise also means a deeper focus on emotional wellness.

“In the field of integrative and lifestyle medicine, emotional and mental wellbeing is very important. As we know, today almost 70-80% (at times even more) of diseases are caused because of poor emotional health. There is a deep connection between emotional and physical health. Through our several years of experience, we have seen that just giving diet plans to people does not work. At the same time, medicines alone do not work too. Healing requires a 360-degree approach towards changing lifestyle, and emotional health is a big part of it. While all of our doctors, nutritionists, registered dietitians, life coaches, and lifestyle experts are trained to help people with emotional health, it’s only to a particular level. Sometimes, we get cases that are beyond the scope of our integrative team and the case requires the help and guidance of a professional, and for that, we are collaborating with Mpower. Through this collaboration, all of our patients will have the ability to stay connected and be guided by experts from Mpower. They are often confused about the kind of expert they must reach out to and Mpower will help them here. We are excited to collaborate with them and look forward to doing some great and impactful work together,” says Luke Coutinho, Holistic Lifestyle Coach, Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine & Founder- You Care- All about YOU by Luke Coutinho.
