LifeMedPlus | Lifestyle Medicine Certification for Health & FitnessAt LifeMedPlus, our story begins in early 2024
After more than 10 years of work in public health and preventive healthcare I reached a definite conclusion that people can prevent most chronic diseases because they can reverse many conditions through lifestyle modifications.
Yet, patients received scattered instructions while healthcare staff members needed organized training that followed scientific standards for Lifestyle Medicine.
As an International Board-Certified Lifestyle Medicine Physician and General Practitioner with the Ministry of Health, Sri Lanka, I decided to spend my clinical work experience to educate others.
