Lifestyle Medicine Course
Learn to make healthy lifestyle choices.
An introduction to lifestyle medicine
Kinwell now offers a course on lifestyle medicine, the approach to primary care that centers daily habits as a way to prevent and treat chronic conditions like obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular heart disease. This program of medical appointments addresses the pillars of healthy living identified by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.
- Whole food diet
- Physical activity
- Stress management
- Avoiding risky substances
- Restorative sleep
- Social connection
Over the course of six to eight weeks, Dr. Kathleen Tonti-Horne and Health Coach Heidi Beer encourage a group of eight to twelve patients to adopt tactics for managing challenging health conditions. This course takes place via secure MyChart Zoom call and each session allows for the group to share their experiences and ask questions.
The fall courses starts in September with 60-minute sessions over eight consecutive weeks. Winter sessions start in November and continue over seven consecutive weeks to accommodate for holidays.
