Redefining what’s possible in chronic disease care

Project Remission is a national initiative led by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine to advance a new standard in chronic disease care. One where remission is an expected and possible outcome.

For decades, chronic conditions have been framed as inevitable and irreversible—managed, but rarely improved. Project Remission challenges that paradigm by elevating what the evidence now makes possible: disease remission as an achievable clinical outcome.

Grounded in rigorous science and real-world implementation, this initiative supports a growing community of clinicians, health systems, researchers, and individuals who are proving that better outcomes are possible when care prioritizes root cause treatment. Together, we are bending the curve on chronic disease and restoring health at scale.

Type 2 Diabetes

Project Remission begins by spotlighting type 2 diabetes, one of the most prevalent and costly chronic conditions.

Emerging evidence and real‑world practice show that remission is achievable for many individuals when lifestyle medicine is applied therapeutically and sustainably.

Diabetes Remission is only the beginning.

Project Remission is designed to expand across other chronic conditions where lifestyle interventions demonstrate strong potential, including:

  • Hypertension
  • Obesity
  • And other cardiometabolic conditions

An initiative of ACLM

Project Remission is an initiative of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM), the nation’s medical association leading the fastest growing medical specialty as the new standard of care.

ACLM convenes clinicians, educators, researchers, health systems, and communities to drive this movement forward—ensuring it remains scientifically grounded, clinically credible, and focused on real‑world impact.

We translate evidence-based lifestyle interventions into education, certification, and real-world practice, equipping physicians, healthcare professionals, and systems of care to treat the root causes of chronic disease so patients and communities can truly thrive.

More than just a medical association, ACLM is building the blueprint for a healthier nation.
