FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lifestyle Medicine?
Lifestyle medicine is a medical approach that uses evidence-based behavioral interventions to prevent, treat and manage chronic disease by addressing 6 pillars of care: nutrition, movement, sleep, social connections, substance use and emotional health. Lifestyle medicine recognizes old methods for treating medical conditions are ineffective due to a lack of end-to-end care and the application of preventative and reverse-based treatment plans. The body needs and mind and the mind needs the body. We treat BOTH.
What can Lifestyle Medicine change for me?
Lifestyle medicine can both reverse or significantly reduce chronic conditions, including unhealthy weight, cardiovascular disease, or diabetes and create lasting change by combining physical health with mental health.
