The foundation of transformed and sustainable health care - lifestyle interventions for disease treatment and reversal.
About us
ACLM is the medical professional society for those dedicated to the advancement and clinical practice of Lifestyle Medicine as the foundation of a transformed and sustainable health care system. We are an internationally recognized provider of quality education and certification for those who seek to provide whole-person, root-cause care to patients. Unlike typical healthcare, lifestyle medicine focuses on collaborative patient-provider relationships and positive, evidence-based lifestyle changes as the basis of care. This broader range of treatment options empowers patients with hope and control over their health. Lifestyle Medicine is a branch of evidence-based medicine in which comprehensive lifestyle changes (including nutrition, physical activity, stress management, social support and environmental exposures) are used to help treat, reverse, and prevent the progression of many chronic diseases.

We are kicking off #LMweek with the pillar of stress management! Managing stress is an important component of care in working towards whole-person health. Many things can help manage stress and improve overall health. Everyone's stress management "toolbox" will look different, so test out different techniques and see which one(s) works best for you. ACLM suggests partnering with an interdisciplinary healthcare team to develop a plan for reducing stress levels.
