Lifestyle Medicine

Lifestyle medicine looks not at just the outward manifestations of your illness but at the underlying cause, taking into account things like nutritional issues, genetics, and stress. Through this holistic approach the practitioner is better able to arrive at an effective treatment plan which works for your unique body. You are an active participant in treatment, and the lifestyle medicine practitioner will help you to make changes to your lifestyle which will keep you in top health, as well as treating your illness directly.
