For minor health problems like muscle aches or slightly elevated blood pressure, lifestyle changes may be more beneficial than medication. Lifestyle changes, which can include adopting
a healthier diet, getting regular exercise, and managing stress, may also have the power to prevent chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, before they start.
In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor and guest Kosha Nathwani, MD, a Scripps Clinic family medicine doctor, discuss how physicians use lifestyle medicine to improve patients’
health and quality of life, and how meaningful and long-lasting changes can treat, reverse, and even prevent lifestyle-related diseases. Dr. Nathwani also outlines the roles of specialists and
support personnel like dietitians, physical therapists, social workers, and mental health professionals, in a comprehensive lifestyle medicine team.
