Evidence-Based Lifestyle Medicine, Psycho-Social Stressors

Lifestyle Prescriptions® University certification and degree programs focus on addressing the root-causes of chronic symptoms using evidence-based Lifestyle Medicine and Psycho-Social Stress Connection (Organ-Mind-Brain Anatomy).

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, use these keywords in our AI ASSISTANTS (or 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 digital copies of the extensive Organ-Mind-Brain Anatomy Posters and Charts.

NBHWC Exam & Certification
