Medicine RX?
Lifestyle Medicine Rx is a patient-friendly resource designed to help you better understand lifestyle medicine, explore the everyday factors that influence your health, and take a more active role in your care.
Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, looking for ways to feel better, or simply trying to understand what lifestyle medicine could mean for you, you’ll find practical, evidence-based information you can use to start conversations and make informed decisions with your healthcare team.
Why we created Lifestyle Medicine Rx
Health information is everywhere. Knowing what applies to you is harder.
Lifestyle Medicine Rx was created to make evidence-based lifestyle medicine easier to understand and easier to put into context. Rather than offering another list of things you “should” do, LMRX helps you understand how nutrition, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, connectedness, and avoidance of risky substances can work together as part of your health and medical care.
The goal isn’t perfection or changing everything at once. It’s helping you understand where to start, what questions to ask, and when to seek clinical support.

From the American College of Lifestyle Medicine
Lifestyle Medicine Rx is a public education resource from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM).
ACLM advances evidence-based lifestyle medicine and equips clinicians and care teams with education, certification, and implementation support. Lifestyle Medicine Rx brings that expertise directly to patients in an accessible, practical format, helping people better understand lifestyle medicine and participate more fully in their care.
A resource for your care, not a replacement for it
Lifestyle Medicine Rx can help you learn, prepare, and take action, but it isn’t a substitute for personalized medical care. Your health needs are unique, particularly if you’re living with a chronic condition, taking medication, or managing multiple health concerns. Use these resources alongside guidance from your healthcare professional.
