Evidence Based
Six Pillars of Health
What are the six pillars of health?
We adopt a Whole-Person Approach and address all 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine: nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress, relationships, and harmful substance avoidance to create a balanced and sustainable path to wellness.
Through goal setting, motivational interviewing, and habit-building strategies, we help empower you to adopt healthier behaviours that stick, making meaningful change possible.
1. Healthy Eating.
Lifestyle Medicine supports people to reduce consumption of ultra-processed foods by teaching the knowledge and skills required to follow healthier eating patterns of people’s own choosing. Let’s work together to make simple, nutritious food choices that fuel your body for you to improve energy and thrive.
2. Physical Activity.
Lifestyle Medicine supports people to choose ways in which they could incorporate more physical activity in their lives, as well as reducing time spent sitting down. We’ll help you find movement that suits your lifestyle and goals, no matter your fitness level.
3. Mental Wellbeing.
Lifestyle medicine teaches proven techniques to reduce stress and help people with relaxation. Practitioners support people to find purpose in life and improve health through connection with nature. We’ll explore practical ways to reduce stress and build resilience for long-term well-being and avoid burnout.
4. Sleep.
Lifestyle Medicine supports people to achieve good quality sleep and to avoid behaviours which have the potential to impair sleep quality. Good sleep is essential. We’ll help you develop habits that improve sleep quality for better energy and recovery.
5. Minimizing Harmful Substances.
Lifestyle Medicine supports people to stop smoking, reduce excessive alcohol consumption, avoid addictive substances and behaviours such as gambling or excessive internet or social media use. I’ll guide you in reducing or eliminating habits like smoking or excessive screen time or alcohol consumption, helping you prioritize your health.
6. Social Connection.
Lifestyle Medicine supports people to develop and sustain healthy and meaningful relationships and increase social connection to reduce stress and promote both physical and mental health. Together, we’ll strengthen your support system and build meaningful connections to reduce anxiety and combat loneliness.
