Reimagining health, empowering change

As the premier medical society in lifestyle medicine, we educate and certify healthcare professionals, advocate for the broader practice of lifestyle medicine, build community for clinicians, and provide evidence and research to advance the field.

Since 2004, ACLM has been at the forefront of a new way of thinking about health, leading the way toward a transformed system of care. As the only medical society dedicated to advancing the evidence-based field of lifestyle medicine, ACLM represents an extensive nationwide and global network of interdisciplinary stakeholders who are actively changing the healthcare paradigm.

Our vision is to live in a world where lifestyle medicine is the foundation of health – and all healthcare.

Our Mission

To advance
evidence-based
lifestyle medicine
to treat, reverse,
and prevent
chronic disease.

Our values

We hold ourselves and our members to the highest standards of competency, professionalism, and integrity. Our values shape every decision and action we take in pursuit of better health for all.

Evidence-Based

Our courses, curricula, clinical tools, and published research are grounded in rigorous, peer-reviewed science.

Whole-Person Health

We honor the full human experience—addressing physical, emotional, mental, and social dimensions on the path to healing.

Health Equity

We work to ensure access to lifestyle medicine for everyone—by expanding access to delivery settings and building a workforce that reflects the communities we serve.

Reversing chronic disease, redefining healthcare

In a system burdened by rising chronic disease, clinician burnout, and unsustainable costs, lifestyle medicine offers a scalable solution grounded in whole-person care, behavior change, and clinical innovation—bringing hope, healing, and a path forward for patients, providers, and the nation.

ACLM equips current and future healthcare professionals with evidence-based education, offering CME/CE/MOC opportunities and board certification pathways in lifestyle medicine. Through initiatives like the National Training Initiative, ACLM provides scholarships to primary care providers in underserved areas, fostering a competent workforce capable of addressing chronic disease through lifestyle interventions.

When the founders of ACLM launched the organization in 2004, they were ahead of their time.

Recognizing then that the current system of care wasn’t adequately addressing the lifestyle behavior change that’s needed to achieve sustainable health outcomes, they created the College with the vision of making lifestyle medicine the foundation of a transformed system of care. This approach is now widely viewed as the future of healthcare.
