What is
Lifestyle Medicine?
Lifestyle medicine is an evidence-based approach to preventing, treating and even reversing diseases — by replacing unhealthy behaviors with positive ones.
There are 6 key ways you can take control over your health: being mindful of your food choices, managing stress, being physically active, avoiding risky substance abuse (eliminating tobacco use and moderating alcohol consumption), getting plenty of sleep and having a strong emotional support system in your life.
How we use Lifestyle Medicine to improve your health
CONSULT: Together, you’ll learn exactly what your condition(s) is/are, how your medications work, and what the root causes of the disease are.
PLAN We’ll create customized plan for you to work with an MD trained in these 6 pillars.
TOOLS: Building on this understanding, you’ll learn how to use each pillar to optimize your health.
FOLLOW UP: Your doctor will be checking in on you, coaching you, and encouraging you as you make these positive health changes.
ACCESS AND SUPPORT: Your appointments will provide ample time for an unhurried discussion between you and your doctor.
If this seems like it’s too much for you, that’s okay! We will help integrate positive changes into your life.
