Description
What if you could add more years to your life—more healthy years? While traditional medicine surely has made advances to this end, Dr. Kaur will be introducing the field of Lifestyle medicine, which is an evidence-based approach that uses simple, everyday habits to prevent and/or treat disease, boost energy, improve mental health and promote healthy aging. In this talk, Dr. Kaur will break down the six core pillars of lifestyle medicine—nutrition, physical activity, quality sleep, stress management, healthy relationships, and avoiding risky substances—and show how they work together to optimize your quality of life.
You’ll learn the science behind why small, consistent changes matter, how these choices can reduce your risk for chronic illness, and practical ways to start making them—without overwhelming your busy schedule.
This isn’t about quick fixes or fad diets—it’s about giving you the tools to take control of your health for life.
