Lifestyle Medicine Nurse Coaching focuses on evidence-based therapeutic lifestyle goals and interventions to treat chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, stress, and others, and to help clients to recognize themselves as a whole being in mind, body, and spirit.
Through Lifestyle Medicine Nurse Coaching, the goal is to help clients to treat, reverse, and prevent chronic disease through lifestyle change. In certain cases, when addressing the treatment of a chronic condition through nurse coaching, I may require approval from the client’s primary care physician before proceeding with the nurse-coaching relationship and plan. This will be on an individualized basis.
There are six-pillars to the field of lifestyle medicine that not only assist with physical wellness but also mental wellness:
- whole-food plant-dominant nutrition and eating patterns
- physical activity
- restorative sleep habits
- avoiding risky substances such as alcohol and illicit drugs
- stress management
- fostering positive social connections
I add three more, which include:
- Earthing (grounding) and spending time in nature
- Animal-Human Bond (or pet therapy)
- Art Therapy
