Lifestyle medicine is a medical specialty that utilizes therapeutic lifestyle interventions as a primary approach to treating chronic conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. ABLM-certified clinicians are trained to apply evidence-based, whole-person, prescriptive lifestyle changes to effectively treat and often reverse these conditions. By focusing on the six pillars of lifestyle medicine, including a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, and positive social connections, lifestyle medicine also offers effective prevention strategies for these conditions.
