Physician Well-Being and Lifestyle Medicine | ACLM Story Project

Physician burnout is real, and the toll on healthcare professionals is undeniable. With high rates of stress, exhaustion, and even suicide, many providers struggle in silence—fearful of repercussions or being perceived as weak. The mentality of “the patient comes first” is noble, but where do providers fit in? How far down the totem pole are they?

It’s time for a paradigm shift. Physicians and healthcare professionals must prioritize their own well-being—because only by taking care of themselves can they continue to care for others.

The American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) is the medical professional society for physicians and other professionals dedicated to clinical and worksite practice of lifestyle medicine as the foundation of a transformed and sustainable healthcare system.

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. Lifestyle medicine-certified clinicians are trained to apply evidence-based, whole-person, prescriptive lifestyle change to treat and, when used intensively, often reverse such conditions. Applying the six pillars of lifestyle medicine—a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, and positive social connections—also provides effective prevention for these conditions.
