Lifestyle medicine is a newly recognized specialty that assesses a patient’s lifestyle to manage the most common chronic conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases. Mobility plays an important role in maintaining an active lifestyle, which is one of the basic pillars of lifestyle medicine. Conversely, many conditions affecting the lower extremities can best be managed with lifestyle medicine principles. Lifestyle medicine can help create the most comprehensive lower extremity care by addressing the root causes of the most common chronic conditions that lower extremity professionals routinely manage, such as diabetic foot ulcers and peripheral vascular disease. This comprehensive, whole-person approach will increase patient outcomes and provider satisfaction while being cost-effective. This event has been accredited by the Ohio Foot and Ankle Medical Association as an approved sponsor by the Council on Podiatric Medical Education for up to 5 CME Contact hours.
