Lifestyle Medicine Compared to Traditional Medicine
While both forms of medicine aim for the well-being of the patient, the approaches differ:

• Root Cause vs. Disease Management: Traditional medicine often focuses on managing the symptoms of chronic diseases with medications and procedures. Lifestyle Medicine also uses medications and procedures when necessary, but at its core seeks to address the root causes of diseases—primarily lifestyle choices— to enact real change, promote health and in the process decrease the need for these and other medical interventions. By addressing the root causes, the goal is to prevent chronic diseases from occurring in the first place. When diseases are already present, the goal is to support patients in reversing these whenever possible.

• Active Patient Involvement: Unlike the more passive patient role in traditional medicine, Lifestyle Medicine inspires patients to take an active role in their health, working alongside their healthcare team to craft and maintain healthy living strategies.

• Long-term Focus: Lifestyle Medicine emphasizes long-term solutions that foster ongoing health and well-being. We focus on optimizing both lifespan and “HealthSpan” to increase your ability to maintain independence, autonomy, and vitality well into your elder years. We want to support you in: “Adding years to your life, and life to your years”.
