Lifestyle medicine (LM) is a branch of medicine focused on preventive healthcare and self-care dealing with prevention, research, education, and treatment of disorders caused by lifestyle factors and preventable causes of death such as nutrition, physical inactivity, chronic stress, and self-destructive behaviors including the consumption of tobacco products and drug or alcohol abuse.
The six pillars of lifestyle medicine are:
Nutrition: Eating a whole-food, plant-based diet can help prevent and treat chronic diseases.
Physical activity: Regular physical activity can help prevent and treat many diseases, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers.
Sleep: Getting enough restorative sleep can improve mood, intellectual function, and overall health.
Stress management:
Learning to recognize and reduce negative stress responses can improve well-being.
Social connection:
Maintaining strong social connections with family, friends, and community can improve well-being.
Avoidance of risky substances: Avoiding tobacco and heavy alcohol use can help prevent chronic conditions and death.
Lifestyle medicine is a whole-person approach that can help improve health outcomes.

Dr. Lynda Varlotta acknowledges the capacity of the body to heal on its own if we remove the impediments to healing. The body’s immune system strengthens through proper nutrition, regular daily care, avoidance of chemical toxins, and minimization of emotional stress, enabling it to heal itself and be fortified against possible disease. It avoids the overuse of common misuse of many drugs, antibiotics, steroids, artificial chemicals, vaccinations, and other treatments.
