Dr. Nambron, a board-certified physician specializing in endocrinology and internal medicine, delivered a compelling lecture on empowering women in midlife through lifestyle medicine. The talk emphasized the importance of optimizing midlife using the pillars of lifestyle medicine to thrive, not just survive. These pillars include a whole-food, plant-based diet, regular physical activity, sufficient sleep, stress management, and positive social connections.
Key Takeaways:
- Midlife Optimization: Midlife is a pivotal period marked by growth and decline. Optimizing this phase is crucial, as studies show that supportive social relationships, regular exercise, and a positive attitude have contributed to better functional health and cognitive skills over a decade.
- Lifestyle Medicine Pillars: Dr. Nambron highlighted the pillars of lifestyle medicine, including a whole-food plant-based diet, physical activity, sleep, stress management, and positive social connections. Collectively, these pillars contribute to preventing, treating, and even reversing chronic diseases associated with midlife, such as diabetes and heart disease.
- Self-Coaching for Thriving: Introducing a 12-step self-coaching tool, Dr. Nambron encouraged women to approach midlife with curiosity, openness, compassion, appreciation, and honesty. This tool includes aspects like cultivating a positive attitude, incorporating physical activity, adopting a healthy diet, setting SMART goals, managing stress, and prioritizing sleep. Self-coaching promotes physical and mental well-being, helping women survive and thrive in their midlife years.
