The Romanian Society of Lifestyle Medicine has the honor and joy to announce the organization of the second National Congress with International participation between September 27-29, 2023, which will take place online under the name:
Modern Killer Diseases: Treating Symptoms or Causes?
On this occasion, prominent personalities of Romanian and international medical life in the field of lifestyle medicine will present topics from their area of professional experience in the practice of lifestyle medicine.
Lifestyle Medicine is the use of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, such as a predominantly whole-foods plant-based diet, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, stress management, the avoidance of risky substance use, social connectedness, spirituality, and the use of other non-drug interventions to treat, prevent and even reverse chronic non-communicable diseases related to the individual’s lifestyle.
The incidence of type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases, and obesity will increase substantially in the coming decades. The global cost of lifestyle-related diseases will be approximately $47 trillion by 2030!
Modern medicine, with its cutting-edge technology and new drugs constantly appearing, will not be able to prevent and overcome the great dangers of an unhealthy lifestyle. The medical world has experienced dramatic changes in disease pathogenesis in the past few decades. We are seeing the burden of disease shift from advances in immunizations and drug discoveries to lifestyle-driven chronic non-communicable diseases that are now overwhelming health systems. Our daily habits significantly influence our health and quality of life in the short and long term.
One answer to lifestyle-related chronic non-communicable diseases is lifestyle medicine, the branch of evidence-based medicine that seeks to get to the root cause of disease.
In the event organized by the RSLM, we will share practical and evidence-based studies that show how, in many cases, these diseases can be treated with the regression of these pathologies through lifestyle interventions.
The Romanian Society of Lifestyle Medicine was founded in 2019 with an unstoppable desire to unite members passionate about the urgent need to transform the health of Romanians and the Romanian healthcare system. Our organization addresses the need for quality education and qualification in the clinical practice of Lifestyle Medicine by developing and promoting educational events, courses, tools, resources, and campaigns designed to support the cause of Lifestyle Medicine.
The Romanian Society of Lifestyle Medicine is the sister organization of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine within the Lifestyle Medicine Global Alliance, is a member of the European Lifestyle Medicine Council, a founding member of the World Lifestyle Medicine Organization, and is affiliated with the Romanian Medical Association.
