Lifestyle Medicine Symposium
Sep 30, 2023 Open Medicine Nursing
Description
About 80% of our current ~$3.4 trillion healthcare expenditure is spent on chronic diseases such as diabetes, HTN and dyslipidemia and ~80% of our chronic diseases are rooted in poor lifestyle choices. The current "pills and procedures" healthcare paradigm is simply not working, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and increased stress has stretched many healthcare providers to a breaking point. We must help each other and our patients adopt and sustain healthy lifestyle behaviors that improve health and quality of life and allow us as providers to reconnect to the true joy of practicing medicine. Come join us at the 2023 Lifestyle Medicine Symposium to learn how you can eat better, move more, stress less, and sleep better. Do it for yourself, your family and your patients!
Target Audience
MD, DO, PA, NP, Nurses and other interested healthcare professionals
Objectives
- Review why a whole food, plant-based diet is the foundation of optimal health and prepare together a simple and delicious meal (doctors and dietitian to present together).
- Review the myriad ways in which "exercise is medicine" and review practical tools for incorporating more movement into our daily lives.
- Understand the stress response and how and why chronic stress is deleterious to health. Learn about and practice stress management techniques that restore balance to the autonomic nervous system and directly impact our health outcomes.
- Discuss how and why restorative sleep is the foundation of optimal health both physically and mentally, and review sleep hygiene tips that have shown measurable benefit in both deep and REM sleep.
