Lifestyle medicine is a medical specialty that uses therapeutic lifestyle interventions as a primary modality to treat chronic conditions including, but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. The six pillars of lifestyle medicine are a whole-food plant-predominant dietary pattern, physical activity, stress management and emotional wellness, sleep, avoidance of tobacco and risky substances, and positive social connectedness.
