By learning the basics of nutrition and physical activity, you’ll be equipped to follow a custom plan for lifestyle change. Learn more about LifeSteps® 

    Lifestyle Medicine

    Lifestyle medicine is the prevention, treatment, and often reversal, of diseases caused by lifestyle factors. Our lifestyle medicine doctors focus on educating and motivating patients to improve personal habits and behaviors. Because they focus on treating the underlying, behavior-related causes of disease, lifestyle providers would likely use medications as a supplement to therapeutic lifestyle changes.

    Metabolic Testing

    Have you ever wondered how many calories you burn in a day? Do you know how many calories you should be eating each day for optimal weight loss? Each person has their own unique metabolism.
