Course Description

The current healthcare system's medical services aren't designed to keep people healthy and often fail to improve their health. Global crisis is the rising incidence of chronic diseases and high healthcare costs.

Lifestyle medicine is a lifestyle-based therapeutic approach that uses evidence-based methods to treat and prevent chronic diseases. This approach to healthcare provides quality improvements that will improve the future of healthcare.

This professional series features Dr. Amanda McKinney (American College of Lifestyle Medicine Fellow) who explores Lifestyle Medicine–[tm]'s principles and how they can be used in treating common chronic diseases. Lifestyle Medicine can be re-examined or expanded upon by licensed medical professionals.
