Lifestyle Medicine addresses the root causes of disease with evidence-based lifestyle behaviours including exercise, diet, sleep, social connectivity and stress management. Compared to most other medicines, it is relatively inexpensive, widely accessible, safe, and free of all but good side effects. As such, it is well placed to improve health outcomes among marginalised and disadvantaged communities.
If you are a clinician, allied health practitioner or health professional wanting to learn about the latest evidence for Lifestyle Medicine in chronic disease treatment, and how to implement it in practice, join us at LM23! With an emphasis on practical learning, panel discussions, and providing real-world skills, we will discover the ways in which Lifestyle Medicine can be used to advance healthcare and health equity among disadvantaged and underserved communities.
