What is lifestyle Medicine?
Lifestyle Medicine is a medical specialty that primarily uses therapeutic lifestyle interventions to treat chronic conditions including, but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.
Lifestyle Medicine certified physicians are trained to apply evidence-based, whole-person, prescriptive lifestyle change to PREVENT, TREAT and, when used intensively, in some cases, even REVERSE chronic disease
Â
How does it work?
The six pillars of Lifestyle Medicine are used, personalizing them to the patient's needs.
These involve a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances and positive social connections.
