I have always known that my patients’ lifestyle choices could make them healthier, and possibly keep them from needing the medication I was trained in medical school to provide. But I was never trained to help my patients make better choices. This course has provided me with that training and I’m excited to be able to offer my patients interventions that could be truly lifechanging for them.
Karen Adams, MD
This course is really effective in helping me improve my lifestyle and for me to help my patients improve their lifestyle as well.
Jacqueline Yu, MD
I can’t wait to apply what I have learned into helping my members. I appreciate the tools that we have been provided with, that are all backed by research. I am looking forward to changing more lives!
Jill Davis, MS, CWPM, CPT
It is often easy to overlook lifestyle medicine changes while taking care of patients with complex medical issues in the limited time frame. However lifestyle is at the core of most of these issues and taking a few moments to address lifestyle changes can often bring more rewards and benefits to our patient’s then any other medical intervention we can provide.
Glenn Rich, MD
This course should be the primary focus of healthcare professionals…evidence-based lifestyle medicine to prevent or treat the root causes of disease and/or injury. Empowering for the patient, uplifting for the healthcare professional, and crucial for the health and economy of our country.
Patsy Shropshire, DPT
I thoroughly enjoyed every module in this course, and cannot wait to work through it all again. I learned many new facts, reiterated others, and overall strengthened my confidence in speaking to the value of lifestyle medicine interventions.
Beth Prier, PharmD
This course enabled me to be a better clinician. It empowered me to take control of my health, improve my well-being, build sustainable habits, and most importantly to positively impact my patients and clients.

This is everything I wish they had covered in medical school. What I’ve learned from ACLM has made me a better doctor.
Allison Carmichael, MD
Inspirational and eye-opening material that encourages me to seek new depths in terms of Power of Lifestyle Medicine to change lives for the better!
Ajani Mason, MD
Seven months ago, I was feeling overwhelmed, burned out, and at times hopeless. At the recommendation of a colleague, I completed the ACLM Essentials Bundle. It reminded me why I wanted to practice medicine in the first place, and inspired me to learn more. Over the last several months I have devoured hours of ACLM education and attended the conference in October. Using LSM techniques on myself and my patients has helped me heal (some of) the moral injury of contemporary practice. It has improved my quality of life and work tremendously. Without a doubt, I am a happier, more effective provider having gained this knowledge.
