What is Lifestyle Medicine?
Lifestyle medicine is a medical approach that emphasizes the prevention, management, and reversal of chronic diseases by focusing on key lifestyle factors. This includes nutrition coaching, stress management, sleep improvement, and balancing daily activities to promote overall health. Rather than relying solely on medications, lifestyle medicine equips patients with the tools and knowledge to make lasting changes that improve physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Additionally, lifestyle medicine enhances mental clarity, emotional wellness, and overall quality of life.
