Nearly 80% of all chronic diseases are preventable, and lifestyle behaviors are responsible for 40% of all premature deaths. Lifestyle medicine offers a proactive, holistic, and sustainable approach to health care that focuses on prevention, well-being, and improving the overall quality of life for your patients.

Join us at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach for this popular course from the AAFP. Enhance your practice as you learn to emphasize the use of evidence-based therapeutic approaches to prevent, treat, and oftentimes reverse chronic disease.
