About<\/h2>\n

The Lifestyle Medicine BS prepares students for the future of health care in the U.S. It emphasizes a comprehensive approach to health and provides valuable knowledge and skills.<\/p>\n

This degree focuses on holistic health and well-being. It’s based on six pillars of health: a plant-based diet, exercise, quality sleep, stress management, avoiding risky substances, and positive social connections.<\/p>\n

Lifestyle medicine is an emerging field that focuses on managing chronic diseases through lifestyle changes. Research shows that 80% of chronic diseases can be prevented through healthy lifestyle choices.<\/p>\n

Consider pursuing a BS in Lifestyle Medicine if you have career goals in public health, health care, or wellness.<\/p>\n
