Introducing

The 6 Pillars of
Lifestyle Medicine

“Lifestyle medicine is a medical approach that uses evidence-based behavioral interventions to prevent, treat and manage chronic disease.”~ACSM

I am a lifestyle medicine advocate. I will help you to gain clarity to attain optimal health and well-being. Together, we will create a customized plan of action.

We will go over all of these areas in great detail. Some may need more work than others. This is to be expected. The core of these pillars is nutrition. This is the foundation of wellness.

  • The food you eat equals the mood you’re in. Also, the pounds on the scale. It regulates hormones and stabilizes blood sugars. It also helps with nervous system response.

  • Movement is Medicine. It is part of the grand scheme of optimal health. When we move, we optimize our hormonal responses, decrease stress and lower anxiety. We increase our cardiovascular capacity and increase muscle tone and shape.

  • How do you manage stress? Deep breathing, meditation, nature walks, yoga, acupuncture, massage and reiki are all beneficial.

  • The optimal number of hours is 7-9 per night. This is essential for optimizing mind and body functioning.

  • How you spend your time and with who places a pivotal role in your health and well-being.Positive social cornection with friends and family are paramount.

  • Avoidance of risky behaviors which includes drug use and excessive alcohol consumption. The suggested recommendation is one drink for women and two drinks for men as a daily maximum.

Personal training

Each individual has different needs. Everyone’s body is different. There may even be injuries and limitations. I specifically work with your energy. I design the best possible workout for you on any given day. Whether it is lifting weights, using resistance bands, stretching or yoga, I tune into what is best for you. It’s personal. There is a strong focus on alignment, form and posture. We work together as a team.

My specialty is working with individuals 50 and above. It is never too late to begin. Strength is necessary for activities of daily living. Resistance training is essential to help prevent bone loss and increase muscle. Training increases our bodies ability to stay strong and mobile. It also speeds up our metabolic function. This is paramount as we age.
