Eighty percent of all the diseases experienced by patients in the U.S., such as heart disease, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders, are the result of lifestyle choices we make every day. Through our comprehensive and evidence-based lifestyle therapies, we can slow the progress of and even reverse those diseases. Our expertly trained clinicians will collaborate with your primary care and specialist providers to help you live a healthier and more vibrant life.
The Six Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine
Lifestyle medicine is centered on six key areas of daily life that may be influencing or causing health problems in your life. By working together with your primary care and specialist doctors, we identify and help you modify your relationship to each one.
Nutrition
Whole food, plant-forward eating helps your body function at its best. We focus on choosing more foods that are rich in fiber and nutrients, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and beans.Physical Activity
Consistent physical activity is essential for a healthy body and mind. You don’t need to become a marathon runner. A daily walk is a good activity to get your body moving.Relationships & Purpose
Research shows having healthy relationships and a sense of purpose not only improve the quality of your life, but can also help you live up to 8 years longer. We can help you explore and make changes in this area if needed.Sleep
A lack of sleep or poor sleep quality negatively impacts your overall health – including your immune system and decision-making processes. Being exhausted also makes it very difficult to make other healthy changes. We can help identify ways to improve your sleep health.Stress Management
Using healthy coping skills in times of stress has positive effects on the body and mind, including lower blood pressure and increased focus. Our expert providers will help you find the right techniques for you.Substance Avoidance
Various substances can negatively impact your health. When we have our initial consultation, we will help you identify any potential health risks due to these substances and help you make a plan to minimize risk.
