Entering the world of medicine, where the goal is to keep people healthy, we discover different areas. One notable field is preventive medicine, and within it, we find something called lifestyle medicine. But what sets lifestyle medicine apart? What makes it special in promoting health? Let's break down the uniqueness of lifestyle medicine and understand how it stands out among various medical approaches.
In today's episode, I sit down with Dr. Beth Frates, the President of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. Beth Frates, MD is a trained physiatrist and a health and wellness coach, with expertise in Lifestyle Medicine. She is an award-winning teacher at Harvard Medical School, where she is an assistant clinical professor. Dr. Frates is one of the first Fellows of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and a pioneer in lifestyle medicine. She developed and taught a college Lifestyle Medicine curriculum at the Harvard Extension School in 2014 and it is still one of the most well-received courses offered at the school. She was voted president of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine in August 2020. Dr. Frates serves as President from November 2022- November 2024. She authored a Lifestyle Medicine syllabus, which can be downloaded through the ACLM website, to serve as a template for other instructors and professors. More recently, her book titled “The Lifestyle Medicine Handbook: An Introduction to the Power of Healthy Habits” was included in a list of the 100 Best Medicine Books of All Time by BookAuthority.
In this episode, we're digging into how lifestyle medicine does its thing differently, scoring some gems of wisdom from Dr. Beth herself. And it's not just about medicine; we're getting personal, talking about how her journey started and the big impact her dad's heart attack had on her. There's a lot to unpack.
