The last such event was held in 1969 and resulted in the creation of momentous programs like school lunches, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), and changes to how food is labeled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health has the potential to be a momentous turning point for how we, as a nation, respond to the growing crisis of lifestyle-related chronic disease in&nbsp;the United States,\u201d said ACLM President Cate Collings, MD, FACC, MS, DipABLM, a cardiologist and invited conference attendee. \u201cIt is clear that simply managing the symptoms of chronic disease with ever-increasing quantities of expensive medications and procedures without addressing the root causes of those diseases is a failure of our health care system. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine is proud to make this significant commitment to help educate, equip and empower practicing clinicians to effectively prescribe evidence-based lifestyle medicine interventions in nutrition and help alter the trajectory of chronic disease.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While genetics can predispose people to certain diseases, lifestyle and environment play major roles in disease occurrence. The&nbsp;World Health Organization&nbsp;(WHO) says that 80% of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes and 40% of cancer could be prevented, primarily with improvements to diet and lifestyle. Hunger and diet-related diseases affect many communities, including rural areas, people with disabilities, older adults, LGBTQI+ people, military families and military veterans. The U.S. incurs&nbsp;$1.1 trillion&nbsp;annually in food-related human costs, including&nbsp;$604 billion&nbsp;attributable to diet-related diseases like hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular disease,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3661233-1&amp;h=2638531771&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rockefellerfoundation.org%2Freport%2Ftrue-cost-of-food-measuring-what-matters-to-transform-the-u-s-food-system%2F%3F_cldee%3DEhNp9k6YzRGe_Iw2vgfonyvHZRT29pZVdjbzAkEXLUBmmWHhLxULesvD_-oeziC7yW6fgpSmAnk4oDhWr6xvxQ%26recipientid%3Dcontact-4d084f722db6ea11a812000d3a1367c0-2f6d0d9c9a1c43ea9a0cb4caa174ad45%26esid%3D8b485476-c51c-ed11-b83e-00224832d919&amp;a=according+to+the+Rockefeller+Foundation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">according to the Rockefeller Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Science demonstrates that lifestyle medicine is an effective means to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3661233-1&amp;h=344063685&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Facademic.oup.com%2Fnutritionreviews%2Fadvance-article-abstract%2Fdoi%2F10.1093%2Fnutrit%2Fnuab060%2F6366488%3FredirectedFrom%3Dfulltext%26login%3Dfalse&amp;a=treat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">treat<\/a>&nbsp;and even reverse many diseases such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3661233-1&amp;h=2137403004&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sciencedirect.com%2Fscience%2Farticle%2Fabs%2Fpii%2FS0899900714004237%3Fvia%253Dihub&amp;a=obesity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">obesity<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3661233-1&amp;h=2742862949&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thelancet.com%2Fjournals%2Flandia%2Farticle%2FPIIS2213-8587(19)30068-3%2Ffulltext&amp;a=diabetes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">diabetes<\/a>, or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3661233-1&amp;h=2569667325&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fdresselstyn.com%2FJFP_06307_Article1.pdf&amp;a=heart+disease\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">heart disease<\/a>, while also providing strong preventive qualities. However, while lifestyle medicine, including nutrition, is increasingly being integrated into medical school and residency program education and training, few practicing physicians have received adequate education in nutrition or physical activity.

Applying the six pillars of lifestyle medicine\u2014a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances and positive social connections\u2014also provides effective prevention for these conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dean Ornish, MD, Founder and President, Preventive Medicine Research Institute,&nbsp;Clinical Professor of Medicine,&nbsp;University of California, San Francisco&nbsp;and a founding member of ACLM, applauded the medical professional society and White House Conference planners for collaborating to promote this unique learning opportunity to physicians and other medical professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe face an epidemic of lifestyle- and food-related chronic disease in our country.&nbsp; Our medical professionals must become trained\u2014and, ideally, certified\u2014in the field of lifestyle medicine to effectively treat root causes of disease,\u201d Dr. Ornish said. \u201cThis commitment will serve as a spark to ignite the transformation we so desperately need in our nation\u2019s healthcare system, as we strive to address the lifestyle-related chronic disease health disparities that have taken too great a toll. I encourage my physician colleagues across this nation to take advantage of this CME opportunity made possible by ACLM, while also urging other key members of their clinical practice teams to do the same.&nbsp; This is our moment to be the change we want to see in our nation\u2019s healthcare system\u2014for the benefit of both patients and providers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In November, U.S. Rep.&nbsp;James McGovern&nbsp;introduced&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3661233-1&amp;h=577423909&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.congress.gov%2Fbill%2F117th-congress%2Fhouse-resolution%2F784%3Fr%3D73%26s%3D1&amp;a=House+Resolution+784\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">House Resolution 784<\/a>, a resolution that passed the U.S. House of Representatives and supports activities that ensure that health professional training programs incorporate substantive training in nutrition and diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a serious gap in teaching our medical professionals about the power of food and nutrition in health care. It hurts patients who would benefit from holistic treatments or prevention plans and is something we can no longer ignore,\u201d said Rules Committee Chairman&nbsp;James P. McGovern. \u201cIn line with the resolution I introduced with Dr. Burgess that passed the House earlier this year, the funding announced by ACLM to educate medical providers about the value of food and nutrition will strengthen the health and wellbeing of Americans across the country. I applaud ACLM\u2019s commitment to this issue and hope it continues to be a critical part of the conversations taking place at the historic White House Conference this week.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBeing a physician and lead co-sponsor of Resolution 784, I am keenly aware of the importance of nutrition in medical education,\u201d U.S. Rep.&nbsp;Michael Burgess, MD, said. \u201cThis is so critically needed and I support the American College of Lifestyle Medicine\u2019s work to change this across the spectrum of medical education. Their commitment to training physicians especially in our under-resourced areas is commendable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEnsuring our health care professionals have access to critical information that helped save my life is game changing,\u201d said&nbsp;New York City&nbsp;Mayor&nbsp;Eric Adams. \u201cLifestyle medicine is personal to me, and together\u2014armed with the right tools\u2014we can make sure all New Yorkers have access to the healthy lifestyle they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ACLM makes $22 million commitment to provide free lifestyle medicine training The American College of Lifestyle Medicine has committed $22 million in lifestyle medicine and food as medicine continuing medical education coursework to 100,000 physicians and other clinicians serving in medically under-resourced areas.
