Our Services / Lifestyle Management

What role do my lifestyle choices play in shaping my overall health?

Certain diseases and health issues can arise because of genetics, traumatic injury, or other factors that are outside of your control. However, the vast majority of chronic health issues faced by Americans come down to unhealthy lifestyle choices. 

Unhealthy lifestyle choices reflect the increasing rates of obesity, heart disease, stroke, and numerous other chronic health issues. Those increases have occurred in lockstep with changes in the way we nourish our bodies, rising rates of sedentary lifestyles, and the ever-increasing pressure to juggle more obligations at home, at work, and in social settings. 

The good news is that just as your lifestyle choices can cause a vast array of health problems, altering those daily habits can have just as powerful a role in improving your daily quality of life.  

What is lifestyle management?

Lifestyle management focuses on identifying areas where improvements can be made and taking decisive steps to change daily habits. In the hands of a skilled physician like Dr. Kewalramani, lifestyle management offers the chance to avoid negative health issues, control chronic disease, and enhance physical and cognitive performance. 

Everyone can benefit from lifestyle management. As researchers learn more about health and wellness, staying abreast of the latest guidance can be challenging. Partnering with the K Primary Care & Medical Nutrition Center team is a great way to make the most of evidence-based lifestyle guidance. 

You’ll have access to a medically supervised weight management program to help you shed excess pounds and improve nutrition and activity levels. A registered dietician is on staff to help you change your relationship with food and learn how to get more whole foods into your daily diet. 

A dedicated lifestyle coach works with you to identify areas where you can improve. For some, that might mean focusing on managing stress through meditation, cutting back on caffeine, and making more time to connect with friends. For others, improving sleep quality might be the primary area of focus. 

How long do lifestyle management services last?

Your lifestyle management journey should last as long as you feel you need support and guidance on health and wellness topics. Your lifestyle coach works closely with you to identify areas of focus and track how your body reacts to changes. 

K Primary Care & Medical Nutrition Center offers an eight-week initial program to help you get started. The process involves a thorough health assessment, goal setting, nutritional guidance, and more. You can even purchase handmade protein bites and healthy power bars to help boost your nutrition. 

If you have multiple areas where you’d like to achieve improvement, your journey may last longer than someone who is only focusing on one aspect of their lives. The focus in lifestyle management is on empowering you to take control of your own health and wellness by incorporating healthier daily habits.
