• Building Lifestyle Medicine from the Ground Up with Strategy, Community & Impact

  Welcome to another episode of Flip Your Script, a vodcast by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, hosted by ACLM President Dr. Padmaja Patel. In each episode, we explore five key takeaways on how lifestyle medicine is helping clinicians and innovators reimagine the future of healthcare.This episode, “Building Lifestyle Medicine from the Ground Up with Strategy, Community & Impact,” features Dr. Kristi Artz, Vice President of University Hospitals Connor Whole Health and a long-time leader in lifestyle medicine implementation.Dr. Artz joins us to share her journey from emergency medicine to lifestyle medicine leadership and the lessons she’s learned in building programs inside large health systems. She discusses what it takes to move from inspiration to execution—navigating strategy, aligning with organizational missions, collaborating across departments, and developing the operational skills clinicians aren’t traditionally taught.The conversation explores the essential role of community and mentorship within ACLM, highlighting how peer support, shared models, and collective learning accelerate progress and prevent clinicians from having to reinvent the wheel. Dr. Artz also reflects on how lifestyle medicine helps clinicians reconnect with purpose, find longevity in their careers, and create meaningful impact for patients and systems alike.Through this episode, you’ll see how lifestyle medicine continues to reshape the future of care—one relationship, one program, and one system-level shift at a time.If you’re interested in the real-world work behind bringing lifestyle medicine to life—and how leaders are driving change through strategy, collaboration, and community—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.The American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) is the medical professional society for physicians and other professionals dedicated to clinical and worksite practice of lifestyle medicine as the foundation of a transformed and sustainable healthcare system. Lifestyle medicine is a medical specialty that uses therapeutic lifestyle interventions as a primary modality to treat chronic conditions including, but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.  Lifestyle medicine-certified clinicians are trained to apply evidence-based, whole-person, prescriptive lifestyle change to treat and, when used intensively, often reverse such conditions. Applying the six pillars of lifestyle medicine—a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, and positive social connections—also provides effective prevention for these conditions.Connect with ACLM Online!Visit lifestylemedicine.org: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://lifestylemedicine.org/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find ACLM on Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/lifestylemed/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find ACLM on X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/ACLifeMed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find ACLM on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/aclifemed/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find ACLM on LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/american-college-of-lifestyle-medicine/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to ACLM on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsjJsNjWtUf30LiofumGRfQ⁠
