Chronic physical and mental health conditions are the leading causes of illness, mortality and reduced quality of life among Australians. Lifestyle Medicine is a powerful approach, bringing together evidence- based strategies to provide genuine, whole person care leading to measurable outcomes. It addresses lifestyle, behavioural and social factors to prevent, treat and in some cases even lead to remission of chronic disease.
Join JCU Lifestyle Medicine Academic LeadDr Sam Manger along with JCU Master of Lifestyle Medicine alumni as they explore the evidence behind lifestyle medicine and how it can be applied across clinical and community settings. The webinar will consider key areas such as nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, and social connection, alongside behaviour change approaches that can help people make sustainable improvements to their health.
Examples will include an introduction to practical strategies for conditions such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and liver disease in different age groups. The broader possibilities of lifestyle medicine across clinical practice, public health, research, community programs and healthcare innovation will be outlined.
It will also show how postgraduate study in Lifestyle Medicine at JCU can develop the knowledge and skills to help you apply evidence-based approaches to improve health at an individual, community and population level.
