What is Lifestyle Medicine?
Lifestyle medicine is a branch of healthcare that focuses on preventing, treating, and even reversing chronic disease by addressing the root causes—how we eat, move, sleep, manage stress, and live day to day.
Instead of starting with medications or procedures, lifestyle medicine starts with behavior and habit change.
