Research shows that lifestyle choices are the drivers behind chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and some cancers. By optimizing diet, physical activity, sleep, stress management and relationships and by avoiding harmful substances like tobacco, most of these diseases can be prevented and reversed. Dr. Moore is committed to helping his patients make positive lifestyle changes as a first step toward leading healthier lives.

GW’s Lifestyle Medicine Program focuses on six aspects of lifestyle change: a healthy plant-based diet, physical activity, stress reduction, sleep health, social connections, and avoidance of risky substances such as tobacco. Collectively, these therapeutic interventions are delivered by clinicians trained and certified in this specialty, to prevent, treat, and often reverse chronic disease.

GW is transforming clinical care by weaving Lifestyle Medicine into the foundation of its approach to whole-person health. When setting goals for a healthier lifestyle, Doctor Moore recommends, "Focus on making as many positive choices as you can. Try adopting the mindset that every choice you make should promote health and nourish your body. When it comes to fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains, variety is the path to good health, as well as the spice of life, so when choosing these foods, 'eat the rainbow!'"
