British Society of Lifestyle Medicine Information

The BSLM aims to establish Lifestyle Medicine as central to health and wellbeing by promoting the prevention of avoidable lifestyle-related diseases. Imagine a world free from an ever increasing burden of disease related to living an unhealthy lifestyle; a world free from disease which is currently suppressing the wellbeing of individuals, straining society healthcare systems and driving inequality. The current management of lifestyle-related diseases is dominated by the use of pharmaceuticals, but this approach does not tackle the root causes of such diseases. The British Society of Lifestyle Medicine (BSLM) believes that using Lifestyle as Medicine is a more effective and sustainable way of managing illness. Lifestyle Medicine is not only simple and cost-effective, it empowers individuals to take their health into their own hands. BSLM is building a multidisciplinary network of healthcare professionals who believe in re-energising the healthcare system and reframing it away from disease towards health. We are a group who want to collaborate by sharing our knowledge of using Lifestyle as Medicine to build a reliable, evidence-informed resource which can help you and your patients to lead healthier lifestyles. BSLM warmly invites you to join an energetic, resourceful and creative society and to be part of a global alliance for sustainable healthy change. Let’s turn the tide of disease for the greater good of our patients, our communities, ourselves and our planet. Please visit www.bslm.org.uk for more information.
