Anyone can benefit from adopting a healthier lifestyle. No one wants to be sick. This is often easier said than done. Rather than curing health problems as in other medical specialties, this unit is dedicated preventing chronic diseases and illnesses. Lifestyle Medicine focuses on six main areas: healthy diet, physical activity, stress, sleep, social engagement, and risky substance avoidance. Our medical team of doctors and allied health professionals is specialized in these areas and the related health conditions.
All advice is evidence-based. For example, if you lose just 7% of your body fat through lifestyle changes, you can greatly reduce your risk for diabetes 1 . One program reduces diabetes incidences by 58%. Small changes really do make big differences.
We welcome anyone who wants to make a lifestyle change. That change is the best thing you can do for your health today.
