Lifestyle Medicine
Lifestyle Medicine focuses on the prevention, treatment, and reversal of chronic diseases. We do this by addressing the root causes—such as poor diet, lack of exercise, stress, and unhealthy behaviors. It’s a holistic approach that empowers individuals to make sustainable changes in their lifestyle. Doing so can significantly improve their overall health and well-being.
Diet, physical activity, sleep, stress management, and social connections all play key roles in maintaining health and preventing disease. By emphasizing the importance of these factors, Lifestyle Medicine can help reduce or even eliminate the need for medications for conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.
Becoming board certified in Lifestyle Medicine, as a provider, is such a powerful way to offer a more holistic and preventative approach to healthcare. It is very rewarding to see the positive changes in our patients’ lives. We know we are not just managing symptoms, but truly helping them prevent and reverse chronic conditions.
The membership-based model of Schulte Wellness is a game-changer, too. It gives our team the opportunity to spend more time with each patient. And it allows us to dive deeper into their unique health concerns and tailor an approach fitting their individual needs. That level of personalized care is often what makes a real difference in long-term health outcomes.
