Doctors are overworked. Patients are suffering. It doesn't have to be that way.

Dr. Laurie Marbas knew this all too well. It's one of the reasons why she shifted her practice to lifestyle medicine. This is a patient-first approach that seeks to identify and treat the root cause of illnesses rather than treating symptoms exclusively.

In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, Dr. Marbas and "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll discuss her experience transitioning to lifestyle medicine that can serve as a blueprint for other doctors to begin incorporating it into their practice as well.

Topics Discussed

- Effective outcomes with lifestyle medicine

- Insurance and lifestyle medicine

- Patient success stories

- Health care costs: traditional vs. lifestyle medicine

- Benefits of businesses incorporating lifestyle medicine for employees

- Unhealthy weight loss

- Body composition and maintaining muscle mass after weight loss

This episode was taped live at the International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine in Washington, D.C.
