Better health shouldn’t be so hard to figure out…

Our physician-led Jumpstart gives you evidence-based guidance, tools, and support to make real changes

At Rochester Lifestyle Medicine Institute, we empower people to make evidence-based choices, rooted in whole-food plant-based living.

Our programs are designed to teach individuals and clinicians how to prevent, halt, and even reverse conditions like type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.

Introducing the 15-Day Whole-Food Plant-Based Jumpstart

A simple, structured, physician-led program designed to help you:

  • Improve key lab markers in as little as 15 days

  • Reduce or eliminate medications (with your doctor’s guidance)

  • Lose weight without calorie counting

  • Build habits you can actually sustain

No fads. No gimmicks.
Just evidence-based nutrition and real support.

Real Patients. Real Cases. Real Results.

Each month, Lifestyle Medicine Grand Rounds (LMGRs) brings clinicians together to learn from real patient cases, presented by peers and discussed with experienced lifestyle medicine physicians.

You’ll hear how complex medical cases are approached in real practice, including nutrition strategy, behavior change, and medication management. Sessions are interactive, practical, and designed to build confidence in treating root causes—not just symptoms.

LMGR is free medical education, open to the public, with CME credit available for clinicians.
