Lifestyle Medicine means that…

- The healthcare team partners with the patient, and the patient becomes an equal, functioning member of the health care team through learning and coaching.
- Health coaches provide education, support and accountability to help the patient reach their goals.
- The root causes of chronic disease are identified and addressed with therapeutic lifestyle change.
- Food, exercise and community become powerful medicine.
- Patients often shed unwanted body fat, gain lean muscle, reverse chronic disease risk factors, build stress resilience, and minimize need for prescription drugs.
- The end goal is not merely absence of disease, but rather optimal wellness and a thriving life.
