We call this our\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/lifestylemedicine.org\/education-certification\/national-training-initiative\/\">National Training Initiative<\/a>, deployed to address lifestyle-related chronic disease health disparities.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have been championing the urgent need to integrate nutrition into medical education, recognizing Rep.

We stand ready to partner with both Democrats and Republicans who are committed to addressing our nation\u2019s chronic disease crisis.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ACLM is a transformation catalyst\u2014a magnet for purpose-, passion-driven medical professionals who are ALREADY on the front lines \u201cbeing the change\u201d our nation\u2019s healthcare system so desperately needs. A disruptor of the status quo, ACLM has been calling for REAL healthcare reform and has been leading the charge to shift our disease and disability care system to one of true HEALTH care. This is only possible when the standard of care begins with identifying and eradicating the root cause of disease, with the clinical outcome goal of health restoration. ACLM is committed to empowering clinicians across this country to achieve both the Quintuple Aim and whole person health, with lifestyle medicine root cause treatment as the foundation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also know that global sustainability is at stake, which is why our board issued the following statement a few years ago:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i>ACLM acknowledges that the leading cause of chronic disease and the leading cause of so many of our most pressing global sustainability issues is one and the same: our Western pattern diet. Shifting to a whole food, plant-predominant dietary lifestyle is optimal in order to protect human health and fight disease; this dietary lifestyle pattern is also what is best for the planet, enabling us to preserve our precious natural resources, rein in greenhouse gas emissions, and feed what soon will be over nine billion people on the face of the earth.<\/i>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our commitment is to be on the front lines advocating for clinicians and their patients, working with those on both sides of the aisle in Washington, D.C. and across the country. We are on the front lines of filling the gaping void of lifestyle medicine\u2014including food as medicine\u2014in medical education, doing so across the entire education continuum, from UME and GME to CME. We are addressing misaligned and missing quality measures, knowing that we need measures that reward outcomes over process. We are advocating for reimbursement, so that health restoration is incentivized and rewarded equal to or greater than diagnosing the ill and prescribing the pill.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We stand united, without fear, with a shared sense of excitement and anticipation about what lies ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not red.
