Advancing the future of healthcare

The American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) is the leading professional society dedicated to advancing lifestyle medicine—the evidence-based approach to preventing, treating, and often reversing chronic disease by addressing its root causes. ACLM equips healthcare professionals, educators, health systems, and organizations with the education, training, certification pathways, resources, and community needed to bring lifestyle medicine into practice.

Our vision is a world where lifestyle medicine serves as the foundation of healthcare and health restoration replaces disease management as the primary goal of care.

Our Mission

To advance
evidence-based
lifestyle medicine
to treat, reverse,
and prevent
chronic disease.

This mission is grounded in the belief that healthcare systems around the world can achieve better outcomes when clinicians are equipped to address the underlying causes of disease through therapeutic lifestyle interventions.
