What is Lifestyle Medicine

Lifestyle medicine is a branch of medicine focused on preventive healthcare and self-care dealing with research, prevention, and treatment of disorders caused by lifestyle factors and preventable causes of death such as nutrition, physical inactivity, chronic stress, and self-destructive behaviors including the consumption of tobacco products and drug or alcohol abuse.

As Catholic lifestyle medicine clinicians we treat every patient with compassion, respect, and understanding. We value the restoration and renewal of your body, and create a personalized plan unique to each person – encompassing the whole person – mind, body, and soul.

“Whoever truly wishes to heal man must see him in his wholeness and must know that his ultimate healing can only be God’s love.” -Benedict XVI
