Meet Dr. Jain
Dr. Avkash Jain– MPharm, MBChB, MRCGP, DipBSLM
Specialist in General Practice and Lifestyle Medicine and founder of Cardiff Wellness Centre.
With over 15 years experience in General Practice, Acute Medicine, and Pharmacology, I currently serve as an NHS GP. My passion lies in optimising metabolic health—addressing conditions like diabetes—through non-pharmacological approaches grounded in the 6 Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine.
I have led NHS projects focused on improving metabolic health without medication and have served as a Community Director for Cardiff and Vale Health Board for over eight years. Additionally, I work as a GP Inspector for Health Inspectorate Wales (HIW).
Beyond my professional life, I enjoy sports, cooking, and spending quality time with my family.
Health Optimisation - Personalised To You
The choices we make about how we live our lives day-to-day dictate so many aspects of our health. We can all access a wealth of information online from articles, podcasts and health blogs, giving their own advice on how to live long and well. But, with the pace of scientific change, this can lead to information overload and confusion.
Here at the Cardiff Wellness Centre, our aim is to provide you with comprehensive and evidence-based knowledge that centres around your personal health and your aims. This will be achieved by working with you to try and find the root causes of problems, with a focus on the 6 pillars of health:
-
Nutrition
-
Movement
-
Sleep
-
Wellbeing
-
Substance misuse (Alcohol/Caffeine/Sugar)
-
Social Connectivity
The clinic is not only accessible for those diagnosed with metabolic health problems (such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol). The same treatment principles and philosophies can also be used if you want to optimise your energy, sharpen your cognition and understand your gut health.
Investigations that may be offered to you at Cardiff Wellness Centre include specialist blood tests, microbiome testing and DEXA scanning to measure body composition and bone mineral density.
Modern pharmaceuticals have much to offer. The clinic understands that a combination of lifestyle change and medication is necessary for many. However, for those who are keen to lose weight, we do not prescribe weight loss drugs at the clinic.
Blood tests can not only help with diagnoses, they can be useful to track changes made and give goals
to treatment options.
This is an exciting new field and we are currently scoping this to offer this to you all soon.
A good life isn't necessarily measured by how many years you live (lifespan), but how healthy those years will be (healthspan). Let CWC guide you to be your best in your later years by improving your health and lifespans.
We will help you understand why exercise is important and how to maximise it in the
limited time we all have. This does not necessarily mean hitting the weights or the treadmill.
CWC will go through your
sleep in detail and optimise accordingly so that you awake more refreshed the next day.
It is said we are now living in the middle of a stress epidemic. Up to 80% of what a doctor sees in
general practice can be traced back to the origins of chronic stress.
It's not what your weight is, its what your weight is made of.

ABOUT US
The Problem?
Metabolic Syndrome.
Metabolic syndrome is a group of health issues—including diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and abdominal obesity—that significantly increase the risk of heart disease and stroke, the leading causes of death in the Western world.
In the UK, around 1 in 4 adults are affected, but the condition isn’t inevitable. With the right approach, its progression can be slowed or even reversed without medication.
At CWC, we go beyond the outdated “eat less, exercise more” mantra. Our personalised strategies empower you to achieve your health goals—improving energy, reducing fatigue, and supporting long-term wellbeing.
Our Solution
Our approach goes beyond treating symptoms—
we focus on prevention, reversal, and optimising overall wellbeing.
Together, we’ll work to:
-
Reduce inflammation in your body.
-
Improve mitochondrial function.
-
Enhance your gut microbiome.
At The Cardiff Wellness Centre, we use cutting-edge tools
to personalise your care, including:
-
Metabolic blood tests to uncover underlying issues.
-
Microbiome testing to improve gut health.
-
An in-house DEXA scanner to measure and monitor visceral fat levels
Why choose Cardiff Wellness Centre?
At Cardiff Wellness Centre, we combine extensive NHS experience with cutting-edge expertise in lifestyle medicine to provide personalized, patient-centered care. While blogs and podcasts offer a wealth of health advice online, true wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all. Health decisions are nuanced, and your journey is as unique as you are. Let us help you navigate tailored solutions to achieve your optimal health.

I recently had the pleasure of consulting with Dr Jain to improve my health and wellness through diet and lifestyle changes. Within just a week of implementing his recommendations, I am already experiencing significant improvements in how I feel. Dr Jain provided me with a personalised plan that was easy to follow and tailored to my specific needs. His approachable demeanour and wealth of knowledge made the process both enjoyable and enlightening.
I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Jain to anyone seeking to enhance their overall well-being through sustainable lifestyle changes.
His expertise and dedication to his patients are second to none, and i have no doubt that his guidance will continue to positively impact my life for years to come.
