What is lifestyle medicine?

Whether we are health care practitioners, mothers, fathers, or students we often forget to spend time nourishing our mind and body. We adapt a lifestyle that is conveniently easy for us.

Lifestyle medicine is the evidence-based practice of helping individuals and families adopt and sustain healthy behaviors that affect health and quality of life.

Lifestyle medicine practitioners focus on 6 key areas of life:

  1. Healthful, Mindful Eating
  2. Increase in Physical Activity
  3. Stress Management
  4. Forming and Maintaining Relationships
  5. Improve Sleep
  6. Avoid Risky Substances

Each week, we will focus on how to implement these practices into our lives. Let’s embark on this journey, together!
