Lifestyle Medicine is an evidence-based approach shown to prevent and treat disease. It treats the underlying cause of disease rather than its symptoms that are too often addressed with ever-increasing quantities of pills and procedures. Because it treats cause and not just symptoms, through Lifestyle Medicine can we alter the course of spiraling health care costs.
A seismic shift is taking place in healthcare, as the system moves from the unsustainable fee-for-service model of delivery to a value and outcomes-based system of care. With 80% of more of healthcare spending tied directly to the treatment of conditions rooted in poor lifestyle choices, it is evident that a focus on the clinical practice of Lifestyle Medicine is essential.
We can help your patients stay healthy reducing patients’ complications and overutilization of higher cost settings, leading to higher quality of care and reduced spending.
