Lifestyle Medicine Education
Healthcare professionals are uniquely positioned to stem the tide of chronic disease through patient education. In order to be effective, our nation’s physicians must understand the vital roles exercise, nutrition, sleep, social connectivity, health behavior change, tobacco cessation and responsible alcohol use and other lifestyle interventions play in preventing, treating and managing disease. Through training, physicians will be poised to treat and prevent the current pandemic of chronic disease and reduce unsustainable healthcare costs.
Welcome to LMEd
LMEd is now choosing to laser focus on expanding lifestyle medicine curricula in U.S. medical schools through offering open access to a collection of evidence-based curricular resources to train future doctors in prevention and treatment of lifestyle-related diseases. LMEd is an evolution from the Lifestyle Medicine Education Collaborative, originally founded by Dr. Eddie Phillips and Dr. Jennifer Trilk and co-directed with Mr. Dennis Muscato, and is now supported by The University of South Carolina School of Medicine at Greenville. This lifestyle medicine collection can be used for core curricula, integration into existing curricula, electives, rotations, and scholarly concentrations.
Our Mission
LMEd provides open access, evidence-based Lifestyle Medicine curricular resources to build knowledge, skills and advocacy in the medical community for the prevention and treatment of lifestyle-related chronic disease.
Our Vision
All members of the healthcare team will receive education in lifestyle medicine to prevent and treat lifestyle-related chronic disease.

Why
Lifestyle Medicine?
By 2020, the World Health Organization predicts that two-thirds of all diseases worldwide will be the result of lifestyle choices. Currently, 50% of Americans live with one or more chronic illnesses such as diabetes and hypertension, conditions in which diet and exercise play a key role. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 90% of $3.5 Trillion is spent annually on chronic illnesses.
