Lifestyle Counselling

Lifestyle choices play a big role in establishing the foundations for optimal health. This includes exercise, eating habits, stress management, and sleep. Disease often starts when these aspects of health are neglected, so it is important to focus treatment on improving these foundations to prevent, manage or improve illness.

Patient education is an important part of lifestyle counseling. This includes discussions about one’s symptoms, their condition, why they are feeling a certain way, what is happening in their body, how a particular treatment can help, and the effects that their daily habits have in predicting disease risk.
