Social connection
Lifestyle Medicine is the use of evidence-based lifestyle therapeutic intervention—including a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, regular physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances and positive social connection—as a primary modality, delivered by clinicians trained and certified in this specialty, to prevent, treat and often reverse chronic disease.
Lifestyle medicine is PREVENTION
According to the World Health Organization, 80% of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes and 40% of cancer could be prevented, primarily with improvements to diet and lifestyle.
Lifestyle Medicine is TREATMENT
Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [NAFLD], and depression are just some of the conditions that can be treated with therapeutic lifestyle change
