About This Webinar:
The World Health Organization estimates 80% of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes, and 40% of cancer could be prevented, with improvements to diet and lifestyle.
This webinar presents science-based evidence on lifestyle medicine. In the webinar we demonstrate how the military is incorporating lifestyle and performance medicine into their practices and explain how to incorporate plant-based diets as part of the lifestyle medicine concept. The material presented is applicable to military, VA, and civilian medical providers.

“Lifestyle Medicine is the use of evidence-based lifestyle therapeutic approaches, such as a whole food, plant-predominant dietary lifestyle, regular physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances and positive social connection as a primary therapeutic modality for treatment and reversal of chronic disease.”
Learning Objectives:
The participant will be able to:
1) Identify and define Lifestyle Medicine
2) Describe plant-based diets and identify the available professional resources
