So, I’m pretty psyched...we’re just about to launch the Integrative Pharmacy Specialist Certification Program through Freece.com with an introductory overview on September, 12.

In this module I share with you the 5 Primary Keys to Functional Pharmacy, and the first one, Diet…actually, lifestyle diet.

What is a lifestyle diet?

A lifestyle diet encompasses the food someone eats, along with lifestyle factors that will further impact health in either a positive or negative way.

Lifestyle factors that are commonly associated with dietary patterns include:

  • exercise, or lack thereof
  • social connection
  • alcohol consumption
  • stress management
  • sleep health

Its understandable that 80% of our body composition is attributed to the foods we eat, and it’s the lifestyle measures that complement our food choices and help keep us on track.

This is why when lifestyle is not incorporated into a diet…the diet doesn’t work.

What are your favorite elements of lifestyle to your diet?
