The Starting Gate Episode 1: From Prescription Pads to Prevention: Our Journey to Lifestyle Medicine
In our first episode of The Starting Gate, we share the story behind our careers as primary care physicians and why we made the shift from traditional internal medicine to lifestyle medicine. After years of prescribing medications, we realized that true, lasting health comes from addressing the root causes of chronic disease—nutrition, physical activity, stress, sleep, and social connections. In this episode, we explain why lifestyle medicine is so important for long-term wellness and how small, everyday changes can make a world of difference in your health journey. Join us as we dive into our experiences, explain why lifestyle medicine is the future of healthcare, and discuss why it’s never too late to take control of your health.
