About this Event
What if improving your health didn't require changing everything at once?
Join IVY Integrative for an interactive introduction to Lifestyle Medicine and learn how small, sustainable changes can create a ripple effect across your health and well-being.
During this workshop, you'll explore the six foundational pillars of lifestyle medicine:
🌿 Nutrition
🏃 Physical Activity
🌙 Sleep
🧘 Stress Management
🤝 Positive Relationships & Connection
🚫 Avoiding Risky Substances
You'll begin by completing a personal wellness assessment to identify where you feel strongest and where you may need more support. Then, you'll move into an interactive "action station" focused on the area you'd most like to improve.
Rather than overwhelming you with a long list of things you should be doing, this workshop focuses on realistic, practical changes that fit your actual life.
You'll leave with a clearer understanding of your current health habits, new ideas for creating sustainable change, and one actionable step you can begin this week.
Perfect for anyone looking to feel better, build healthier routines, and take a more intentional approach to their overall wellness.
