Lifestyle (change) programme: healthy living made easy
Blood pressure, blood sugar or nutrient levels – a healthy lifestyle has a positive long-term effect on all of these. With coaching from our santé24 online practice, you will learn how to be successful and achieve a higher quality of life.
Coaching for a healthy life – why it’s worth it
Why a healthy lifestyle is so important
The risk of developing diseases can be commonly due to family genetics or personal behaviours. However, you can prevent or make a positive impact on many chronic diseases by adopting a healthy lifestyle. Examples include:
- Type 2 diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Lipid metabolism disorders
- Cardiovascular diseases
- Issues with your musculoskeletal system
- Cancer
As these illnesses often do not cause any noticeable symptoms at the start, they can often remain undetected until secondary damage appears, by which point it is much more difficult to break a vicious cycle.
Those who eat healthily, stay active in their daily life and focus on maintaining a mental balance can significantly reduce their risk of illness, curb or even reverse the disease, and significantly increase their quality of life.
The type of person that our health coaching is intended for

Online screening: early detection of chronic diseases
If you have a family history of disease or have abnormal blood values, you can have your own health checked quickly and easily using santé24's screening service. In cooperation with experienced partner laboratories, you will receive a reliable assessment of your risks – simple, flexible and personal advice.
This service is aimed at people with a family history who already have received measurements of abnormal blood values or are overweight.
Following an individual consultation with a specialist from santé24, all the examinations are coordinated. You can take your blood pressure in the comfort of your own home or at the pharmacy, and a sample of your blood is drawn at our partner laboratory. The medical team at santé24 carries out the assessment. Depending on the result, you will receive recommendations for treatment or prevention, and if you will have the option of participating in the lifestyle (change) programme.
