Meet Dr Lisa Cochrane
Hi, I’m Dr Lisa, an Australian trained General Practitioner with over 20 years of clinical experience and a special interest in menopause care and medically supervised weight management.
Women often come to me feeling unheard, unsure, or frustrated by symptoms, stalled weight, or changes they cannot quite explain. My role is to help you make sense of what is going on, understand your options clearly, and guide you with a plan that feels realistic and doable.
I am accredited as a Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner with the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine and am currently working towards SCOPE Certification through the World Obesity Federation, the internationally recognised gold standard qualification for healthcare professionals treating obesity.
In practice, this means I look beyond symptoms to explore how sleep, stress, nutrition, movement and metabolism interact, and how to work with your body rather than against it. Where appropriate, I also provide careful medical oversight and treatment options, including weight management medications, as part of a broader, supportive plan.
My approach is practical, compassionate and grounded in science. I do not offer quick fixes or one size fits all advice. I focus on clear explanations, step by step plans, and helping you feel confident in the decisions you are making about your health.
When I am not in clinic, you will usually find me outdoors on the Sunshine Coast with my two boys, or attempting to surf with enthusiasm that far outweighs my skill level.
I look forward to helping you feel more informed, supported, and in control of your health.
