Did you know that over 80% of all US healthcare cost is tied to the treatment of conditions rooted in poor lifestyle choices? These conditions include hypertension, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, and multiple types of cancer—all of which are largely preventable.
Instead of reaching for a prescription pad, there is a new trend among healthcare professionals toward Lifestyle Medicine. This practice includes evidence-based therapeutic interventions such as nutrition, movement, sleep, stress reduction, and social connections which are used by trained and certified clinicians to prevent, treat and often reverse chronic disease.
