Lifestyle medicine advocates for the use of healthy everyday choices and habits to achieve peak performance and well-being. The Emory Academic Internal Medicine Center faculty are committed to improving the lifestyle of Emory Healthcare patients and all individuals. We get to the root cause of disease by translating research into actionable self-care tools. Our program highlights five pillars of health research:
- Nutrition and culinary skills
- Exercise and physical activity
- Stress management techniques and mindfulness
- Meaning and connectedness
- Sleep
