Lifestyle Prescriptions® University hosts GLOBAL ONLINE and LOCAL LIVE IN-PERSON Graduation Ceremonies. We will provide you with graduation times in advance, allowing you to plan ahead and experience a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The Online Graduation is typically early November in conjunction with our Lifestyle Medicine WORKS Awards (2024 awardee: Dr. Dean Ornish, 2025 awardee: Dr. James M. Rippe).
Lifestyle Prescriptions® University certification and degree programs focus on addressing the root-causes of chronic symptoms using evidence-based Lifestyle Medicine and Organ-Mind-Brain Anatomy (PsychoSocial Connection).
Evidence-Based Lifestyle Medicine
Evidence-based lifestyle medicine focuses on preventing, managing, and even reversing chronic diseases by addressing their root causes through scientifically proven lifestyle changes. It emphasizes the power of nutrition, physical activity, stress management, sleep, and social connections to improve overall health and well-being. Guided by rigorous research, lifestyle medicine offers a holistic approach that empowers individuals to take control of their health and achieve lasting, transformative results.
Psychosocial Stress and Chronic Disease
One of the reasons why we started the university is to expand research in evidence-based Lifestyle Medicine and the connection and impact of Psychosomatic / Life Stress and Chronic Disease.
Even though we know empirically after 1,000+ health coaches working over 15+ years with our Root-Cause Analysis Method, more research is needed to understand the specific Organ-Mind-Brain Anatomy mechanisms and improve health professional skills and educational programs.
If you're conducting psychosocial connection-related research for your Ph.D. dissertation, you will use these keywords in PubMed, PsycINFO, or Google Scholar which allows you to build on extensive existing research: "Mind-body medicine" "Psychosocial factors and health" "Stress response and health outcomes" "Interpersonal relationships and resilience" "Mindfulness and neuroplasticity" "Psychoneuroimmunology mechanisms" "Social determinants of mental health" "Trauma and psychosomatic health"
Organ-Mind-Brain Anatomy (PsychoSocial Connection)
We use the new term Organ-Mind-Brain Anatomy to reflect that healthcare providers need to expand their 'Anatomy & Physiology only' perspective and integrate the essential impact of brain psychology, mindset and how specific stressors, emotions, beliefs (habitualthoughts) affect specific organ tissue symptoms).
Our degree supervisors will guide you through this process to ensure you use globally accepted academic standards while being an innovator, expanding and going beyond current science.
ALL our students will receive the extensive Organ-Mind-Brain Anatomy Posters and Charts (printed on durable material) via priority mail.
Our Lifestyle Medicine WORKS™ Certification Training is an NBHWC-approved health coaching school. After you complete our Certification Training (minimum 9 months) you will be able to sit for the NBHWC exam.
The NBHWC exam is valuable especially if you practice in the US and want to be reimbursed by medical insurance.
TIP: We suggest to focus on your M.A. and Ph.D. Doctorate Degree in Lifestyle Medicine before you consider other certifications because the Ph.D. Degree is the highest credential you can earn.
LPU's Lifestyle Medicine WORKS™ Certification Training has been developed to align with the International Board of Lifestyle Medicine. We estimate to be fully approved by IBLM in Summer/Fall 2025. *
After you've passed and graduated from Lifestyle Medicine WORKS™ Certification Training you may sit for the IBLM exam (to receive the DipIBLM credential).
* LMWC Certification minimum 9 months study before exam can be started
