Lifestyle Medicine: Who Can Benefit?

Because diseases due to lifestyle cause more illness and death than anything else in America, just about everyone can benefit. When we add lifestyle improvements to our health care, we may be able to reduce the amount of medication we need or eliminate some medications entirely. Here are some specific conditions that can be impacted by changing lifestyle:

• Obesity
• Chronic Pain
• Diabetes Type 2
• Heart and other Cardiovascular Diseases
• Stroke
• High Blood Pressure
• Pre-Diabetes
• Osteoporosis
• Some Cancers
• High Cholesterol
• Elevated lipids
• Arthritis
• Depression
• Anxiety

If you are fortunate and don’t suffer from illness, but want to explore just how well you can be, Lifestyle Medicine can help you create a new, optimized definition of wellness. No matter where you are on the continuum, you can always improve your health; whether your immediate goal is reducing your blood pressure or exploring new ways to challenge yourself, wellness is yours to create.
