(Part of the Lifestyle Medicine for Everyone conference)
Target audience: physicians and patients. This talk is for both audiences. I plan to speak in language that highlights the importance of activity to physicians and patients alike, and how we can make it a part of not only practices, but our lives.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss rationale behind using activity as the 5th vital sign
- Discuss benefits of tracking activity
- Discuss how we can track activity in the clinic, and in our own lives.
- Explore technologies that helps with tracking.
- Review data I’ve collected from my own patients and how activity modification has helped them lose weight and improve their metabolic health.
