Lifestyle Medicine
Lifestyle medicine is a medical approach that focuses on using healthy lifestyle changes to prevent, treat, and even reverse chronic diseases. It emphasizes the importance of six key areas. By addressing these factors, lifestyle medicine aims to improve overall health, reduce the risk of diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and digestive disorders, and enhance quality of life. Instead of relying solely on medications or interventions, lifestyle medicine empowers individuals to take an active role in their health through sustainable, evidence-based lifestyle changes.
What is a lifestyle medicine specialist?
A lifestyle medicine specialist is a healthcare provider trained to help individuals prevent, manage, and reverse chronic diseases through evidence-based lifestyle changes. Rather than focusing primarily on medications or surgery, they guide patients in making sustainable improvements to their habits. A lifestyle medicine specialist is certified by American Board of Lifestyle Medicine after training and exam.
The specialist works with patients to develop personalized plans that address the root causes of health issues, such as poor nutrition, inactivity, or stress, and helps them adopt healthier, long-term habits. They may also support patients in managing chronic medical conditions by engaging them to take an active role in their health, improving quality of life, and reducing reliance on medications.
