Retreats and workshops

Lifestyle medicine is the evidence-based use of lifestyle changes to prevent, treat, and, when possible, reverse chronic health conditions. 

The six pillars of lifestyle medicine are:

• A plant-based diet
• Physical activity
• Stress management
• Avoidance of risky substances
• Restorative sleep 
• Social connections   

We believe in the scientifically proven benefit of a plant-based diet. While you may not be ready to jump in feet first, know that we prioritize listening to your needs and collaborating to find the best possible outcomes. 

Your voice, your opinion, and your questions matter here. We'll meet you where you are and develop a plan together that will make your journey the most successful. 

While we'll never say there is a food you can't have, we will help you learn the ways diet and lifestyle have a direct impact on your day to day and chronic health. 

Move it or lose it is not just a saying, it's a medical reality.  We recommend choosing ways to move and exercises that you enjoy. This will increase your chances of making a long-term change and continuing the practice.

Incorporating more movement into your daily life, how much and how often will also be discussed.  Standing desks, stairs instead of elevators, working in the yard or garden, and parking farther away from entrances are all easy ways to do this. Stretching is highly recommended due to its physical, mental, and anti-inflammatory benefits.
