What is Lifestyle Medicine?

This is a new specialty in medicine. The same as doctors can specialize in pediatrics or orthopedics or surgery. Doctors can now specialize in a field called lifestyle medicine.

We have realized that how we live our lives, the food we eat, the routine we have, our physical activity, our sleep habits, our social connections, our psychology, all have an impact on our health and our lifespan. And so specialists in lifestyle medicine, look at all of these lifestyle-related factors that can impact your health and aim to optimize those so that you live a healthier and happier life without the horrible complications of poor lifestyle choices.
