What is the PREKURE Clinic?

An online clinic where a certified PREKURE Coach works with you every week, a PREKURE Doctor is there when you need one (opening soon), and your progress is measured on your own Metabolic Map.

We're building it the way the best academic medical centres work, with research and care under one roof. PREKURE already brings together professors, PhD researchers, practising clinicians and the more than 900 health coaches we've trained.

With your permission, what we learn in the clinic will feed back into the research, and the research back into your care.

What's included.

A coach in your corner, every week

A Certified PREKURE Coach who listens first and starts with what matters to you. Together you change the habits underneath your health, one practical step at a time. Then they check in, week after week, until it sticks.

Support with ongoing health problems

PREKURE Doctor appointments are opening soon. The aim is to give you more time to work on the health problems that are hard to shift, alongside your usual GP.

Measured outcomes

You choose the result that matters. We measure it through your programme, on your Metabolic Map, and show you what changed. If it isn't moving, we say so, and together we change the plan.

Science that informs your care

Our approach draws on PREKURE's work in public health, metabolic science and behaviour change. Your coach helps you apply that knowledge to your own life.

Why we built the clinic.

Modern medicine is brilliant at what it was built for.

If you break a leg, have a heart attack or need surgery, you want a hospital and a good doctor. It's very good at diagnosing disease and treating it with medicines and procedures.

However, it's not so good at cutting edge behavioural and metabolic medicine: helping people change how they eat, sleep, move and handle stress, and staying with them long enough for it to last.

A standard GP appointment is fifteen minutes. That's long enough to hear your blood sugar is up and get a prescription but not to address the root cause.

The science of behavioural and metabolic health has moved fast over the last ten years, but very little of it has made it into everyday care. The PREKURE Clinic is where it does.

Professor Grant SchofieldCo-founder and Chief Science Officer, PREKURE

Get in earlier. People should be able to get support before a health problem becomes harder to manage. We start with what is happening now and the practical changes you can make.
Prevention is cure. Prevention is at the heart of PREKURE. Everyday habits can help prevent some health problems and improve others. We help you work on those habits alongside the clinical care you need.
Behaviour is medicine. Knowing what to do is only the start. Food, sleep, movement and stress all matter, but changes have to fit your life. Your coach works with you to turn a plan into habits you can keep.
Research and care in the same place. The clinic sits beside PREKURE's science team, so current metabolic and behavioural research shapes the care you get. As you go, your coach uses what you learn together to adjust your plan.
World-class ambition, New Zealand scale. We think a small country can be among the best in the world at keeping people well. Research, teaching and clinical practice work under one roof to make that happen.
