Lifestyle- Wellness- Impact on Health

Lifestyle medicine is an evidence-based approach which utilizes interventions—such as healthy nutrition, regular physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, and social connection—to prevent, manage, and even reverse chronic diseases such as cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) health. By addressing the root causes of disease rather than just symptoms, lifestyle medicine offers a powerful, patient-centered strategy to promote long-term health and reduce the burden of CKM syndrome.
