May 30 through June 5, 2021: Lifestyle Medicine Week is a global celebration of healthy behaviors and a public awareness campaign on the impact our choices can have on chronic disease.

This week focuses public awareness on the six essential Lifestyle elements that optimize health – nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress, substance abuse, and social connection.

In celebrating this week, we empower all people to ask their health professional: 1) to be educated about Lifestyle Medicine as an evidence-based, growing field of medicine, 2) to treat with lifestyle interventions first, and 3) to spread health by living by example.

DEFINITION: Lifestyle Medicine is the use of a whole food, plant-predominant diet, regular physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances and positive social connection as a primary therapy for the treatment and reversal of chronic disease.
