Lifestyle Medicine | Wildflower Aesthetic & Wellness Medspa

Hippocrates is known to have said “Let food be thy medicine”. We are often faced with conflicting information on staying healthy, and told to lose weight or lower stress without ever being given the tools to do so. Life is more stressful than it has ever been, and we live in a world where we are always having to "speed up " and "multitask". Conventional medicine is often considered disease-centered, as its main focus is on diagnosing disease and managing symptoms. Many drugs used to treat end up creating a new problem or worsening another condition. There is no drug that is free of side effects.

At Wildflower WELLNESS center, we focus on a holistic , organic approach to managing disease. Our approach is to use evidence based medicine based on the principles of Lifestyle Medicine, and ancient knowledge and principles, including Ayurveda with a focus on prevention, halting progression, and possibly reversal by addressing root causes of illnesses. Our programs are specially curated to each individual. Our goal is to put you in control of your health and put you in the driver's seat to your health.

Lifestyle Medicine Services Germantown TN

Lifestyle medicine is a medical specialty that uses therapeutic lifestyle interventions as a primary modality to treat chronic conditions including, but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. This is done by using the six pillars of lifestyle medicine—a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances and positive social connections to bring about improvements to our long term health and wellness.

NUTRITION

Food is Medicine. Choose predominantly whole, plant-based foods that are rich in fiber and nutrient dense. Vegetables, fruit, beans, lentils, whole grains, nuts and seeds.

EXERCISE

Regular and consistent physical activity that can be maintained on a daily basis throughout life – walking, gardening, push ups and lunges – is an essential piece of the optimal health equation.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE

The well-documented dangers of any addictive substance use can increase risk for many cancers and heart disease. Positive behaviors that improve health include cessation of tobacco use and limiting the intake of alcohol.

STRESS

Stress can lead to improved health and productivity – or it can lead to anxiety, depression, obesity, immune dysfunction and more. Helping patients recognize negative stress responses, identify coping mechanisms and reduction techniques leads to improved wellbeing.

SLEEP

Lack of, or poor-quality sleep can lead to a strained immune system. Identify dietary, environmental and coping behaviors to improve sleep health.

RELATIONSHIPS

Social connectedness is essential to emotional resiliency. Studies show that isolation is associated with increased mortality. Considering a patients home and community environment improves overall health.
