SOME OF THE SECRETS
TO LIVING LONGER AND
BETTER CAN BE FOUND WITH
THE RIGHT LIFESTYLE
MEDICINE.
DR. PAUL SMITH AND
PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT
JAMES CAMPBELL JOIN US.
NICE TO HAVE YOU ON
"LIVING 808".
THANK YOU FOR HAVING
US.
TELL US WHAT
LIFESTYLE MEDICINE IS.
LIFESTYLE MEDICINE IS
A COMPONENT OF MODERN
MEDICINE THAT WE USE
INCORPORATING SIX
PILLARS OF HEALTH TO
PREVENT, REVERSE OR
A LOT OF THESE CAN BE
PRE REVENGABLE.
OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE
PATIENTS IDENTIFY THOSE
LIFESTYLE COMPONENTS
THAT WILL PRE REVENGE
THOSE ILLNESSES.
YOUR SIX PILLARS OF
HEALTH, BREAK THOSE DOWN
FOR US, PLEASE.
YOU REALLY HAVE TO
LOOK AT THE BROADER
PICTURE IN TERMS OF
WE'RE TRYING TO ATTACK
THE CHRONIC DISEASE THAT
PREVALENT IN THE UNITED
STATES IN TERMS OF
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE,
STROKES, JUST THE
OBESITY, DIABETES AND
LIFESTYLE MEDICINE
PRESENTS THE OPPORTUNITY
BY MAKING CHANGES IN OUR
BEHAVIOR THAT WE CAN
ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES IN
SIX SPECIFIC AREAS.
ONE BEING NUTRITION AND
FOODS, NUMBER TWO, BEING
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.
WE TEND TO SIT TOO MUCH.
THIRD ONE BEING SLEEP,
GETTING ADEQUATE SLEEP.
THE FOURTH BEING STRESS,
MANAGING OUR STRESS, AND
THE FIFTH OUR SOCIAL
CONNECTIONS, HOW WE
INTERACT WITH OTHERS,
OUR RELATIONSHIPS AND
FINALLY THE SIXTH,
AVOIDING ANY RISKY
SUBSTANCES, ESPECIALLY
TOBACCO, ALCOHOL USE.
OKAY.
THAT MAKES SENSE.
WHEN PEOPLE SEE YOU,
WHAT EXACTLY DO THEY
GET?
IS IT SOME PEP TALKS,
COACHING, SPECIFIC
LIFESTYLE MEDICINE?
I'D LIKE TO START
WITH A SELF-ASSESSMENT.
I HAVE SEVERAL FORMS
THAT I HAVE PATIENTS
FILL OUT AND THAT HELPS
ME TO IDENTIFY WHAT
THEIR GOALS ARE.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
TO FIND OUT WHERE THE
PATIENT IS AT IN TERMS
OF THEIR WILLINGNESS,
CAPABILITY TO MAKE
CHANGES IN THEIR LIFE
BECAUSE REALLY THE
PATIENT DOES MOST OF THE
WORK OR ALL OF THE WORK.
MY JOB IS TO CONNECT
THEM WITH RESOURCE
THAT'S ENABLE THEM TO
MAKE THESE CHANGES THAT
ARE IMPORTANT TO TAKE
CONTROL OF THEIR
ILLNESSES.
OF COURSE ALL SIX
PILLARS ARE IMPORTANT.
IS THERE ONE THAT STAND
OUT TO YOU THAT YOU CAN
HAVE THE BIGGEST IMPACT
WITH.
DEFINITELY WHEN I
LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, HOW
THESE DIFFERENT THINGS
CAN AFFECT OUR LIVES.
WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO
ONE THING THAT WE COULD
DO, IT WOULD BE STOP
SMOKING BECAUSE WHEN YOU
LOOK AT HOW SMOKING
AFFECTS CARDIOVASCULAR
DISEASE, THE POSSIBILITY
OF STROKES, YOU REALLY
HAVE TO TAKE THAT AS
KIND OF THE PRIMARY
THING THAT CAN AFFECT A
PERSON'S LIFE.
AND BEING ABLE TO STOP
SMOKING OR AT LEAST
REDUCE THE SMOKING CAN
HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON
THAT PERSON'S LIFE.
ALL RIGHT.
WE'RE SEEING SOME VIDEO
OF PEOPLE LOOKING LIKE
THEY ARE DOING STRETCHES
AND VARIOUS THINGS.
ARE THERE ACTIVITIES AND
WORKSHOPS THAT YOU HAVE
PLANNED WHERE PEOPLE CAN
COME OUT AND LEARN MORE.
WE DO HAVE A
SYMPOSIUM WE HOST ALONG
WITH ADVENTIST HEALTH
CASTLE, I ENCOURAGE
PEOPLE TO GO TO
NEUROSCIENCE WEBSITE AND
REGISTER FOR THAT.
WE ALSO HAVE LECTURES
THAT WE PUT ON THAT ARE
DONE THE SECOND FRIDAY
OF EVERY MONTH AT ST.
FRANCES MEDICAL CENTER.
SO THEY CAN ALSO

LIFESTYLE MEDICINE?
ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT IS KEY TO LIFESTYLE
MEDICINE AND REASON THAT
JAMES AND I HAVE BEEN

THAT.
