Living a healthy life starts with making healthier lifestyle choices. In our Lifestyle Medicine Programs, we work with our patients to help implement therapeutic lifestyle strategies to enhance quality of life, minimize symptoms and delay the onset of chronic illnesses by addressing root causes.
Scientific research demonstrates that many of the chronic illnesses associated with aging including heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, metabolic syndrome, stroke, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis, may be prevented and even treated by adopting a healthy lifestyle. Patients with disorders related to stress and fatigue, autoimmune disease, PMS and menopause transition, and being overweight and obesity can also benefit from this unique therapeutic approach.
