'Lifestyle is the Medicine' is a step by step program for individuals or coach led groups to map the way to a healthier life. Behavioral changes tied to relationships with poor lifestyle habits are difficult to overcome and a wellness coached format from a health care provider is a powerful motivator.
The recommendations are based on current science and being utilized by functional medicine platforms to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, to reduce metabolic syndrome and human glycemic indices, to improve and restore cardiovascular health, to diminish, stop, or slow cognitive decline, and to stabilize both gut and oral microbiomes.
The outcome of engaging in healthy lifestyle choices is always the same: patients feel better immediately, the incidence of all chronic disease is diminished, the quality of life ahead is assured, and longevity becomes predictable. This program is centered around diet and nutrition, exercise, sleep quality and stress management with numerous additional recommendations within each of the eight modules and many healthy recipes to start on this journey to wellness.
Most patients will be encouraged to start the program with a metabolic 'kickstart'. A 30 day ketogenic diet will get the mitochondria working efficiently and immediately burn off liver and central organ fat. Time restricted eating is encouraged from the start. Patients transition to a routine of healthy lifestyle behaviors at day 31 utilizing the synergy of engaging and adopting all four pillars foundational for living in wellness.
