Lifestyle medicine physicians and other medical professionals who are certified
by either ACLM, ABLM or IBLM are the only clinicians who have documented
evidence of effective, evidence-based training and clinical proficiency in the
field of lifestyle medicine and ability to prescribe, as treatment, intensive
therapeutic lifestyle intervention (ITLC) using the six pillars of lifestyle
medicine: a whole food, plant-predominant eating pattern, regular physical
activity, restorative sleep, stress management, positive social connections, and
avoidance of risky substances. This skillset aligns with Blue Zones’ Power Nine®
lifestyle habits of the world’s healthiest, longest-lived people.
Why are lifestyle medicine-certified physicians and healthcare professionals rather than other specialists exclusively eligible to pursue the opportunity to become Blue Zones-Certified Physicians and Healthcare Professionals?
