What is chronic disease management?

At a standard medical practice, your provider might just prescribe some medication. At AIH Medical and Psychiatric Services, the team takes a holistic approach, searching for the root cause of your health condition before creating a personalized wellness program to address your specific needs. 

At AIH Medical and Psychiatric Services, chronic disease management involves lifestyle medicine aimed at improving your nutrition and exercise routines to support weight loss and improved overall health. Often, chronic health conditions stem from unhealthy lifestyle choices and can be reversed with effective, personalized interventions and therapy. 

For example, a key component of chronic disease management at AIH Medical and Psychiatric Services focuses on changing your relationship with food. Many people are addicted to processed foods that are high in fat, salt, or sugar. The AIH Medical and Psychiatric Services team can help you break your addiction and learn to love nutritious choices. Nutrition has a remarkable impact on your physical, emotional, and mental health.
