Meet Dr. Jain
Dr. Avkash Jain– MPharm, MBChB, MRCGP, DipBSLM
Specialist in General Practice and Lifestyle Medicine.
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.
Modern medicine has much to offer including new weight loss drugs. However we believe you can become healthier without these drugs therefore at the Cardiff Wellness Centre, we do not prescribe weight loss drugs.
There is now a wealth of information in the form of podcasts and health bloggers, but this all needs careful navigation as well as personalisation to you, everyone is different. Here at the Cardiff Wellness Centre, my aim is to provide you with comprehensive, evidence based and
personalised knowledge to not only combat “metabolic health” issues such as:
-
Type 2 diabetes
-
Weight gain
-
Lethargy
-
Tiredness
This will be achieved by working with you to try and find the root causes of the problems, which are so often interlinked with the 6 pillars of Nutrition, Movement, Sleep, Wellbeing, Substance misuse (Alcohol/Caffeine/Sugar) and Social Connectivity.
The clinic is not only accessible for “patients” with metabolic health problems. The same principles and philosophies can also be applied for people who don’t just want to be normal, but they want to be optimal, by improving their energy levels, reducing their tiredness and sharpening their cognition. You will have direct access to specialist blood tests, microbiome testing and an in-house DEXA scanner able to measure visceral fat.
CWC will go through your
sleep in detail and optimise accordingly so that you awake more refreshed the next day.
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.
Blood tests can not only help with diagnoses, they can be useful to track changes made and give goals
to treatment options.
It's not what your weight is, its what your weight is made of.
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.
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.
This is an exciting new field and we are currently scoping this to offer this to you all soon.

Hear from previous patients
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.

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
