Abstract:

Exploring the evidence-based practice of lifestyle medicine which focuses on preventing, treating and reversing chronic diseases through sustainable lifestyle changes. Specifically, we will discuss how lifestyle medicine can impact the management of dermatologic disorders. We will learn the six pillars of lifestyle medicine including whole food plant-predominant nutrition, regular physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, and positive social connections. We will then review the connection between lifestyle factors and several dermatologic disorders/conditions including acne, psoriasis, aging skin, hidradenitis suppurativa, skin cancer, and atopic dermatitis.
