Lifestyle Medicine, the USDA and the Land-Grant University Cooperative Extension System: A Call to Action at the Intersection of Personal, Public and Planetary Health

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Increased collaboration between Lifestyle Medicine (LM) practitioners and the Cooperative Extension System (CES) presents a powerful opportunity to improve community well-being. Implementing community education programs enables residents to gain a deeper understanding of the importance of lifestyle changes-such as proper nutrition, physical activity, and stress management-in preventing and managing chronic diseases. These initiatives, coupled with regular clinical visits with trained LM practitioners, can help individuals assess their health risks and connect them with the resources and support needed for disease prevention, treatment, and reversal.
