Lifestyle Medicine
Lifestyle medicine is an evidence-based approach that focuses on the prevention, treatment, and sometimes reversal of chronic diseases through healthy lifestyle changes.
What stands out to me about lifestyle medicine is how it helps address some of the underlying causes of poor health by improving everyday behaviours and environments—like how we eat, move, sleep, manage stress, and connect with others.
It can help in a wide range of conditions, including—but not limited to—those shown beside.
