Lifestyle Medicine with Julia Jensen, DO.

It's been estimated that approximately half of all U.S. deaths resulting from heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes can be associated with dietary and nutritional habits (JAMA March 2017). Medications, while crucial, are just one part of disease treatment; equal attention must be given to the fundamental aspects of health that influence our physical and mental performance.

During a Lifestyle Medicine consultation, Dr. Jensen conducts an extensive analysis of her patients' lifestyle behaviors, collaboratively developing strategies to implement small, achievable adjustments that culminate in substantial improvements in their overall health. Her approach concentrates on the critical elements of wellness, including nutrition, physical activity, sleep, substance use, social connections/purpose, and stress management. Utilizing proven lifestyle therapeutic approaches, Dr. Jensen guides her patients towards disease prevention, treatment, and in some circumstances, reversal.
