Services we offer

Lifestyle Medicine

Evidence-based support for daily habits that help prevent and manage chronic disease.

Daily habits and long-term health

Daily habits influence many common chronic conditions, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Lifestyle medicine uses evidence-based changes in these habits as part of treatment, alongside medication when needed.

At Green Health Collective, we consider how you eat, move, sleep, manage stress, and connect with others. Together, we develop a realistic plan focused on the habits most relevant to your health.

A recognized medical approach

Lifestyle medicine is built around six evidence-based pillars widely recognized in preventive and chronic disease care.

The six pillars

01

Nutrition

A predominantly whole-food, minimally processed way of eating.

02

Physical Activity

Regular movement that fits into your daily routine.

03

Sleep

Consistent, restorative sleep as a foundation for physical and mental health.

04

Stress Management

Practical strategies to manage stress and support your well-being.

05

Avoiding Risky Substances

Reducing or eliminating tobacco, excess alcohol, and other risk factors.

06

Social Connection

Strong relationships and community, which research links to better health outcomes.

Preventing illness and improving health

For some patients with early-stage chronic conditions, consistent lifestyle changes can improve measures such as blood sugar and blood pressure. Christa helps you set achievable goals in the areas most relevant to your health and reviews your progress over time.

Ongoing support

Changing habits takes time and support. Regular follow-up helps you stay accountable and work through challenges as part of your lifestyle medicine plan.
