The more time I spend working in this field, the more convinced I become that lifestyle medicine is the best way we have to create opportunities for better individual and community health and\u00a0to support the health and wellbeing of clinicians. I\u2019ve met so many who say lifestyle medicine rescued their career and helped restore the passion they had for their work.
