Project Summary: Community of Hope will offer the Healthy Lifestyle Program, an eight-week group health education initiative for patients with chronic diseases, three times in the grant period at our Marie Reed Health Center. This program will use the Full Plate Living Healthy Lifestyle Program® curriculum, and patients will increase their knowledge of how good nutrition, physical activity, and mindfulness can improve health outcomes. Additionally, patients will utilize the Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound (SMART) model to set goals that incorporate healthy nutrition practices, physical activity, and mindfulness strategies into their weekly routine. By the end of eight weeks, patients will achieve at least one of their goals. By the end of the program, patients will also have increased self-efficacy and improved health outcomes related to chronic disease management and emotional wellness, such as blood pressure control and sleep quality.

Project Summary: Obesity is a risk factor for many chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and stroke. Modifiable risk factors at the individual level which contribute heavily to obesity and obesity-related chronic disease include diet, activity level, sedentary behavior, sleep quality, and stress. The Exercise is Medicine-Lifestyle Medicine (EIM-LM) program provides the framework, guidance, and practice for individuals to modify their risk towards obesity and obesity-related chronic disease.

The EIM-LM program provides participants with weekly facilitated in-person group sessions over several weeks introducing and incorporating the six American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) pillars. The six pillars are “a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances and positive social connections.” Sessions integrate each pillar in a variety of ways including group exercise, handouts, facilitated discussion, hands-on plant based cooking, and mindfulness. The focus is active participation and practice incorporating the pillars into everyday life. We anticipate reductions in weight, systolic blood pressure, depressive symptoms, and stress, alongside increases in physical activity, whole plant-based food consumption, and goal setting among participants who complete the program. The pilot will last one year with four group sessions.
