At the heart of Lifestyle Medicine is behavior change

Is this right for you?

Lifestyle medicine can play an important role in preventing and treating many health conditions, and can quickly and meaningfully improve the quality of your life. Most modern diseases are caused by lifestyle.  Have you been diagnosed with a chronic disease,  at risk of developing a chronic disease, or looking for a lifestyle approach to boost your health? Do any of these apply to you?

How does it work?

The idea is that a healthy lifestyle supports optimal anti-inflammatory, immune and metabolic processes. The same lifestyle changes benefit many conditions because these conditions have many common, underlying pathways. A whole foods, plant-predominant dietary pattern is one of the most impactful pillars of health - within a few days to a few weeks of incorporating this, patients often experience improved energy, mood, weight loss, skin conditions, gastrointestinal symptoms, blood pressure, blood sugar, and less joint pain among others.
