How to Use this Website

This site is designed to be utilized by Lifestyle Medicine patients, to reinforce and add supplemental materials to that gained during time with the provider.

This entire site is constantly being updated with new material!

This site is also intended for anyone to use as they see fit!  

  • You can use it personally.
  • You can use it with your family or with groups of people.


This site is also intended for my medical students and other medical professionals who are designing their own program.  Feel free to use it as it is, to use it as a starting point or reference to design your own program.


We recommend you do the first 2 lessons on Fiber and Blue Zones first.  Then you can jump around as you wish.


The session on Cravings and Addictions is designed for those who are particularly struggling with bad habits, and need some extra help!


Here is how it usually works:



Core Principles & Activities 

Work down the page through the videos and links.


Key Concepts

This is the material presented during the group classes, or assigned to be done at home for a virtual visit.

You may want to download the Learning Resources from the sidebar, especially the Featured Recipe, before watching the first video.


To Watch, Read and Do

This will be additional material to build on the Key Concepts, and considered as “homework” for the lesson.


To Expand Your Understanding!

These are additional optional activities that are recommended to help enhance your understanding of this lesson if time and interest allows.


Learn More

While the eight core sessions contain general information that applies to all lifestyle related diseases, the Learn More tab on the address bar at the top of the page contains topic specific material on specific diseases or problems that might not be of interest to all in the class.  Browse these for additional resources that are of specific interest to you (Cravings and addictions, Diabetes, GERD, etc.)

The session on Cravings and Addictions is designed for those who are particularly struggling with bad habits, and need some extra help!
