In the US alone 130 million people are affected by chronic illness and health professionals and patients alike are asking if there are solutions that go beyond treating symptoms and managing the disease.

At the first Lifestyle Medicine Summit June 1-7, 2017 - a free online event and part of a global awareness campaign - the world's top Lifestyle Medicine experts will reveal how to reverse 80% of Chronic Disease. 30 doctors, researchers and health care specialists will share how nutrition, stress, emotions & beliefs and our enviroment affect our health, well-being and longevity.

David Katz MD, one of the summit speakers and world-renowned authority in Lifestyle Medicine sums up the potential of Lifestyle Medicine: ""Lifestyle as medicine has the potential to prevent up to 80% of chronic disease; no other medicine can match that. In addition, it is potentially inexpensive and even cost-saving; free of all but good side effects; safe and appropriate for children and octogenarians alike. It is, quite simply, the best medicine we've got."

As part of the global awareness campaign and online summit the new inspirational film 'LIFESTYLE MEDICINE - The Emergence Of A New Health Paradigm' featuring Dean Ornish MD, Bruce Lipton PhD, Mimi Guarneri MD, David Katz MD, JJ Virgin, Neal Barnard MD, Dave Asprey, Dawson Church PhD and many other world-renowned health experts is being screened online for free from May 15-30, 2017.

The director/producer of the short-film and founder of the Lifestyle Prescriptions Foundation Johannes R. Fisslinger states, "Health care is ready for disruption. We can not afford the current health care model anymore and everyone seems to agree that something needs to change. I firmly believe that the solution is not more technology or better medication but using lifestyle modifications proven to reverse the majority of chronic health issues including diabetes, heart disease, obesity, cancer, pain, depression, anxiety, dementia."
