Rohit Moghe, PharmD, MSPH, CDCES

“In my years of practice, I often found that we focused a lot on the “what” and the “why” with patients but lacked to show them the “how.” I wanted to focus on the “how” but lacked a legitimate place that was sound in the science and research of self-care behaviors. I finally found that place of like-minded professionals who are passionate about optimizing self-care behaviors- the six pillars- in their patients to prevent, mitigate, treat, and even reverse certain chronic conditions. Image a world where we offer choices to our patients, and they can choose to incorporate dosages of lifestyle medicine that help them liberate their dependence on medications. This is truly value-based care!”

Nathanael Smith, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, RN, DipACLM

“Joining ACLM gave me the tools and evidence-based training I had long been searching for to truly address the root causes of chronic disease. As a board-certified lifestyle medicine professional, I’m now able to make a meaningful, lasting difference in my patients’ lives—and in my own.”

Puja Gandhi, MD, MPH, DipABLM

“Lifestyle medicine brings focus back to core human needs—healthy food, movement, connection, and purpose. Recognizing the same barriers in my own life that my patients face, from systemic inequities to modern distractions, inspired me to pursue certification so I can better guide lasting, meaningful health changes—for them and myself.”

Ryan Draper, DO, ABFM, CAQSM

“Studying lifestyle medicine allows me to be a better physician and educator. Throughout my career, I’ve always known that lifestyle choices play an important part in wellness. I’m excited to study the evidence that supports this and even more excited to educate my residents and sports medicine fellows.”
