ACLM is a transformation catalyst, on a mission to transform health and
redefine healthcare with the patient and health equity at the center.
ACLM is the U.S. medical professional society representing the field of lifestyle medicine
and its 11,000+ physician and healthcare professional members who are
dedicated to treating root causes of chronic disease. Lifestyle medicine-trained
clinicians use evidence-based therapeutic lifestyle intervention to address
modifiable risk factors, prescribing lifestyle medicine’s six pillars—a whole food,
plant-predominant eating pattern, regular physical activity, restorative sleep,
stress management, positive social connections, and avoidance of risky
substances—with the goal of disease reversal and health restoration, as
opposed to what is all too often a lifetime of disease management. ACLM is a
pioneering force in healthcare and has been championing the field of lifestyle
medicine since 2004. ACLM’s foremost priority is to fill the gaping void of
lifestyle medicine, including using food as medicine, in medical education,
doing so across the entire medical education continuum, while also advancing
clinical practice and reimbursement strategy. ACLM represents, advocates for,
trains, certifies, and equips its members to integrate lifestyle medicine into
their own lives and into their clinical practices and academic settings. ACLM
has been transforming medicine from WITHIN hospital and clinic walls.
