Only 16% of health outcomes stem from clinical care, while 34% result from health behaviors and nearly half (47%) are attributed to socioeconomic factors such as where people live, work and play. Whole health takes a patient-centered approach, integrating physical, mental, emotional and social factors to go beyond symptom management to promote resilience and long-term wellness.
This philosophy aligns with lifestyle medicine, an evidence-based field that leverages nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management and social connection to prevent, treat and even reverse chronic disease.
