When you choose us, you join a community. We work not just with you but with other members of our community to build a network of people working together for a healthier world. 

Healthcare professionals and their future patients would benefit if the basics of Lifestyle Medicine were incorporated into all professional  training programs. Formal training and personal experience of  evidence-based lifestyle interventions such as plant-based nutrition,  stress management, physical activity, sleep management, relationship  skills and substance abuse mitigation would transform our healthcare  system.

Lifestyle Medicine is uniquely suited to inter-professional education where students from two or more health care professions learn together  during all or part of their professional training with the objective of  cultivating collaborative practice for providing patient-centered care.
