Lifestyle Medicine Clinic

Midland Health is offering a leading lifestyle medicine program in the US. To fulfill its mission to make Midland the healthiest community in Texas, Midland Health is proud to announce the opening of the Lifestyle Medicine Clinic at 4214 Andrews Hwy, suite 107.

Lifestyle medicine is an evidence-based approach to preventing, treating and even reversing diseases by replacing unhealthy behaviors with positive ones — such as eating healthfully, being physically active, managing stress, avoiding risky substance abuse, adequate sleep and having a strong support system.

80% or more of all healthcare spending in the U.S. is tied to the treatment of conditions rooted in poor lifestyle choices. Chronic diseases and conditions—such as hypertension, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, multiple types of cancer—are among the most common, costly and preventable of all health conditions.

 

LIFESTYLE MEDICINE’S UNIQUE VALUE

• Allows the body to protect and heal itself by promoting healthy lifestyle choices
• Educates, guides and supports positive behavior changes
• Places a focus on evidence-based optimal nutrition, stress management, sleep and physical activity
• Encourages active patient participation
• Treats the underlying, lifestyle-related causes of disease
• Uses medications as a supplement to therapeutic lifestyle changes
