Lifestyle intervention
By changing your lifestyle, you can often prevent, halt, or reverse these common chronic diseases. This is particularly true if you pursue an intensive, therapeutic lifestyle intervention.
More than 40 peer-reviewed publications document the effectiveness of LMI’s lifestyle medicine solution in reducing and reversing risk factors related to:
- Diabetes
- Hypertension
- Obesity
- Heart disease
- Other chronic disease
When you join the Pivio community, you embark on a journey to a new lifestyle. You learn how to shift your daily habits to help your body recover and thrive.
Targets for change
Imagine that your lifestyle choices were rated on a scale of 1 to 10, based on how well they sustain your health. A rating of 1 represents a habit that is damaging to your health. A rating of 10 represents an ideal, healthful way of living.
Pivio works by shifting your way of life from the low end of the scale toward the high end, helping you create positive change across the 6 key pillars of lifestyle medicine:
Plant-Rich Eating Pattern
Fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and legumes are key to restoring health. Pivio recommends a plant-rich, minimally processed eating pattern.
Sleep And Rest
7-8 hours a night of restorative sleep is critical for weight control, blood sugar regulation, cardiovascular health, mood, dementia prevention, and keeping your immune system strong.
Physical Activity
Exercise, even gentle movement like walking, lowers blood pressure, elevates mood, improves circulation, strengthens muscles, boosts immunity, and leads to more restful sleep.
Meaningful Social Connections
Family, friends, and community play a powerful role in maintaining health. Research links social connection with fewer ailments and a longer life.
Avoidance Of Risky Substances
Alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, and drugs can threaten your health, as can environmental toxins and pollutants. It is important to understand and manage the risks.
Stress Management
It’s no secret that managing stress makes you feel happier. But it also helps you control your weight, reduce risk for heart disease and dementia, reduce muscle tension, get sick less often, and sleep soundly.
Taking aim at disease
Because Pivio is designed to improve overall health, it reduces and reverses risk factors for a wide range of diseases. Upon entering the program, participants complete a health-risk assessment and blood analysis. In 10 weeks, participants repeat the tests. Pivio compares the original and new measurements to identify changes in key biometrics and wellbeing scores.
Many Pivio participants not only reverse disease, but sustain their health improvements for years.
