Welcome to DrJenLifestyleMD…where I will share my passion for lifestyle as medicine.. I am Dr Jennifer Bruentrup-Taylor, a certified Lifestyle Medicine Physician and a Diplomate of the IBLM. My approach is based on the wise old proverb “Prevention is better than cure”. I promote a predominantly whole food, plant-based diet; regular physical activity; adequate sleep; stress management; avoidance of risky substance use,social connectedness and the use of positive psychology to optimize emotional wellbeing. Lifestyle medicine is an evidence-based , collaborative approach and very patient-centered. It focuses on treating the root cause of lifestyle-related diseases by applying health behavior change modalities. Teaching self-care and self-management are important elements of lifestyle medicine. I look forward to sharing evidence-based, health promoting information with you all. Wishing you all abundant health!
