Lifestyle medicine is a holistic, multi-disciplinary approach to health and wellness that focuses on six key areas: nutrition, active living, stress reduction, sleep habits, tobacco and alcohol use, and building relationships.
Eskenazi Health offers a variety of group education and support programs that blend lifestyle medicine topics with tools focused on managing diabetes and hypertension, family nutrition and more. Participants enrolled in group education programs will grow and support healthy habits guided by a team that includes a primary care provider, registered dietitian, health coach, pharmacist and mental health professional all working to together to help each individual achieve personal health goals. Group sessions are interactive and often include cooking demonstrations and food tasting, fun and new ways to be active and practical tips for incorporating the foundation of lifestyle medicine into everyday living. Session length and schedule varies by group type with most lasting between one to two hours scheduled once per week over a four- to eight-week period.
Lifestyle medicine group classes are held at Eskenazi Health Center Grassy Creek and Eskenazi Health Center Pecar, Eskenazi Health Center West 38th Street and the Eskenazi Health downtown campus. Groups are offered in Spanish at specific Eskenazi Health Center locations.
