Abstract: Lifestyle medicine focuses on evidence-based practices to help individuals adopt healthy behaviors. It is supported by six foundational pillars: a plant-predominant diet, regular exercise, restorative sleep, effective stress management, avoidance of risky substances, and positive social connections. These pillars offer both therapeutic and preventive benefits against chronic diseases. This article will focus on the how a plant-predominant diet, physical activity and sleep impact cardiovascular health, type 2 diabetes mellitus, weight management, and cancer. Lifestyle changes can significantly impact each patient's individual health and make a large financial impact on healthcare spending.
