Take control of your health so you can start feeling better today with Lifestyle Medicine.
Lifestyle Medicine is an evidence-based approach focusing on chronic conditions that are largely preventable through lifestyle modification.
This approach prevents, treats, and often reverses chronic conditions, such as Type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease, cancer, and high blood pressure, by treating the root cause.
You can improve your health and well-being by focusing on a healthy lifestyle, instead of relying on costly pills and procedures.
With me as your coach, you’ll create a healthier mind and body so you can thrive.
You’ll become a person who thinks, feels, and acts in ways that help you heal.
Making healthier choices will be your default mode because you learn what it takes to practice self-care.
How? You’ll receive personalized support, expert guidance, and practical tools to help facilitate personalized and sustainable dietary and lifestyle choices.
Coaching focuses on behavior change, which is a miracle drug — not just for preventing disease but for optimizing the management of disease.
Our genes are responsible for less than 10% of health outcomes, medical care accounts for 10% to 20%, while our behaviors account for an estimated 36%.
The science is clear that when we make even small improvements in our foundational daily behaviors — sleep, food, movement, stress management and connection — dramatic improvements in our health follow.
Boost energy and feel-good chemicals. Discover if you get enough physical activity and learn to build movement and exercise goals into your routine.
Managing everyday stress is essential for maintaining optimal physical, mental, and emotional health. Gain insight into how stress impacts your quality of life, mood, and weight. Develop strategies for reducing stress levels, integrating mindfulness into your life, and adopting other healthy lifestyle behaviors.
Getting quality sleep is essential for improved sleep by identifying the factors that affect your sleep and creating an achievable plan that incorporates healthy behaviors, such as bedtime routines and relaxation strategies.
Understand more about the importance of nurturing healthy connections for improved health and longevity, and build habits to feel connected and supported.
Fuel your body and mind with nutrient-dense foods. Individualized, evidence-based sustainable recommendations to help you make healthy eating choices that fit your lifestyle.
