Approach

Lifestyle medicine is a growing medical specialty that uses evidence-based, whole-person, therapeutic lifestyle interventions based on six foundational pillars of health to prevent, treat and reverse chronic conditions:

Whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern

Physical activity 

Restorative sleep 

Stress management 

Avoidance of risky substances 

Positive social connections 

At Lifestyle Medicine New Haven we incorporate additional aspects of a healthy lifestyle, such as connection to nature, positive psychology, purpose and meaning to help you flourish and realign with your optimal state of health.

Lifestyle medicine is powerful, yet simple. Each pillar of lifestyle medicine is a healing modality unto itself and synergistic when done together. Adopting healthy habits does not have to be overwhelming or out of reach.  Small sequential steps toward healthy behaviors made in the spirit of self love and care can have profound effects in all aspects of your life!
