Shifting the Healthcare Paradigm with Lifestyle Medicine

$499.00

Health care in this country more closely resembles “sick care.” While advancements in research and technology have enabled us to sufficiently treat acute health issues, the healthcare system is miserably failing at preventing and treating chronic diseases. It’s estimated that 6 in 10 U.S. adults have one chronic disease and 4 in 10 have two or more. Individuals with chronic diseases use the majority of healthcare services and account for most of the costs. 

The paradigm needs to shift from reactive to proactive. Lifestyle medicine places emphasis on the whole person and uses therapeutic lifestyle interventions to prevent, treat, and even reverse chronic disease. This continuing education event will detail how a lifestyle medicine approach to health can combat the chronic disease epidemic and revolutionize the healthcare system. Providers and employers will learn foundations and effective implementation strategies related to a variety of topics including nutrition, autoimmune disease, weight management, gastrointestinal wellness, and mental health.
