In the U.S., more than 80% of all healthcare spending is tied to treating conditions rooted in unhealthy lifestyle choices. Diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and multiple types of cancer are among the most common and costly health conditions—but they are also preventable. Lifestyle medicine offers hope by addressing the root causes of these diseases, focusing on the choices that lead to them in the first place. When implemented, lifestyle medicine can prevent, treat, and even reverse many of these chronic conditions.
At Candid Medical, we go beyond simply managing illness—we help you build a healthier, more fulfilling life. While we are experts in handling complex medical challenges, our primary goal is to help you reduce those challenges altogether. Through lifestyle medicine, you can learn how to reverse diabetes, prevent disease, and reduce or eliminate the need for medication. But more importantly, when combined with well-being training and coaching, lifestyle medicine empowers you to build a life filled with joy and purpose.
Most doctors focus on treating people once they are already sick, and while that is essential, true health is about more than just the absence of illness. People don’t just want to avoid being sick—they want to be vibrant, active, and truly well. That’s why our focus at Candid Medical is on well-being. We help you create a life you enjoy while reclaiming your health.
