Lifestyle medicine group ties human health to planetary health
Original: ACLM position statement links lifestyle medicine to planetary health
The American College of Lifestyle Medicine has issued a position statement formally linking lifestyle medicine to planetary health, arguing that plant-predominant diets, physical activity and other lifestyle interventions benefit both patients and the environment. The statement frames clinicians as stakeholders in sustainability, connecting chronic disease prevention with reducing the environmental footprint of healthcare and food systems.
Why now: A major medical professional body has publicly connected clinical practice with climate and sustainability concerns, prompting debate about medicine's environmental role.
