Lifestyle MEDICINE

What is Lifestyle Medicine?

Lifestyle Medicine involves the use of evidence-based health modalities, such as a predominantly whole food, plant-based diet, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, stress management, and avoidance of risky substance use, to prevent, treat and reverse disease.
