WHAT IS LIFESTYLE MEDICINE?

Lifestyle medicine is an evidence-based, clinical discipline that supports the adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviors to prevent, treat, and reverse chronic diseases and improve quality of life.”

The question needs to change from “How many calories should I stay under each day so I can lose ten or twenty pounds?” to “What should I eat to live a long, healthy, and joyful life?”

The lifestyle medicine approach includes six areas of importance. I like to think of these six topics as spokes on the lifestyle medicine wheel. They include a healthy diet, regular physical activity, stress management, good sleep hygiene, minimizing substance intake, and maximizing social connections.
