Lifestyle Medicine
- Lifestyle Medicine is foundational to the practice of Medicine.
- Our patients receive coaching in making healthier lifestyle and dietary choices.
- Personalized recommendations may include addressing diet, adequate hydration, restorative sleep, appropriate physical activity, reduction in intake or minimizing exposure to toxic substances (eg cigarettes / smoke / alcohol / environmental toxins), adequate sun exposure, stress management, and or social factors.
- For many, adhering to Lifestyle Medicine principles may be adequate to treat, manage, and optimize health. For those with more complex chronic diseases, in addition to Lifestyle Medicine, a more integrative approach using Nutritional and Environmental Medicine principles and other treatment modalities may be necessary to bring recovery and optimization of health.
- We work with our clinical nutritionist, dentist and other health professionals and specialists to provide a more integrative approach for our patients.
