Have you heard about Lifestyle Medicine?


We live busy lives and sometimes they're so stressful that we don't eat or sleep right. Over time, that takes a toll on our health and we may find ourselves struggling with chronic disease such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or we may even rank ourselves among the 30+-% of overweight people in the United States.

At Western Washington medical Group (WWMG), we like to focus on being proactive with our patients, considering the whole person and incorporating the use of exercise, nutrition, stress reduction, and soul-care exercises to provide patients with unique tools and personal encouragement they need to turn doctors' suggestions into real, lasting lifestyle changes.

It's more than diabetes education. It's not a weight loss program. It's a part of group appointments with a one-on-one visit with your physician who will help you walk this path to better health.

WWMG is starting Lifestyle Medicine Group Classes in 2012. There will be Weight
Management, Chronic Disease Management, Wellness Cuisine, and Lifestyle Medicine Boot Camp. You can call 425-317-8025 to get more information or to reserve a spot for January.
