Blue Zones and Lifestyle Medicine are joining forces to help patients who want to live longer, healthier lives.
Director of Lifestyle Medicine, Silicon Valley Medical Development; Past President, American College of Lifestyle Medicine, Mountain View, CaliforniaIt is a great day when a patient shows up at clinical appointment already motivated to make lifestyle behavior changes. Often, they have been inspired by health information they consumed elsewhere, such as from a book, movie, documentary, TV show, a friend, or something out in the community.
For those reasons, it made perfect sense that Blue Zones and the American College of Lifestyle Medicine recently announceda new certification status of Blue Zones–Certified Physician or Blue Zones–Certified Healthcare Professional, available in 2025 exclusively to clinicians who already are or become certified in lifestyle medicine.
In addition, community infrastructure developed through Blue Zones that supports healthful lifestyle choices is significant for patients. Lack of resources in their home, work, and community environments is a common obstacle that patients cite when discussing lifestyle change with a clinician. Bicycle lanes for commuting, parks with exercise equipment, accessible healthy food options, and community events to facilitate positive social connections enhance lifestyle-medicine prescriptions.
