What is Lifestyle Medicine?
Lifestyle medicine is a medical specialty that uses therapeutic lifestyle interventions as a primary modality to treat and prevent chronic conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and more.
Did you know?
In Canada, 1 out of every 2 adults suffer from a chronic illness.
70% of healthcare
costs are related to
preventable diseases.
With the proper education and support, people can improve their health and lifestyle, heal from disease and prevent illness. You can be their guide to show them the way and a cheerleader to support them in implementing lifestyle changes.
Health and Wellness coaches are trained to
apply the six pillars of lifestyle medicine:
A Whole Food, Plant-Predominant Diet
Physical Activity
Restorative Sleep
Stress Management
Positive Social Connections
Avoidance of Risky Substances
Health and Wellness coaches also support their clients in developing a growth mindset,
enhancing self-efficacy, and fostering well-being and thriving.
