KALIPER LIFESTYLE MEDICINE CLINIC

by Natasa Desnica, MD

-Lifestyle medicine is an evidence-based approach to preventing, treating and even

reversing diseases by replacing unhealthy behaviors with positive ones — such as
eating healthfully, being physically active, managing stress, avoiding risky
substance abuse, adequate sleep and having a strong support system.

- PROVIDING PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT FORWEIGHT LOSS, HEALTH & HABIT

CHANGE

- Abundant evidence now connects overweight/obesity to a chronic low-

grade inflammatory state manifested not only by cells of the immune system but also,
notably, by the fat cells (adipocytes).
This process is collectively known as 'Meta-flammation', or “chronic metabolic
inflammation” and proves that there is a common cause to our pandemic of modern
illnesses like Type 2 Diabetes, Pre-diabetes, heart attacks, 13 types of cancer and
dementia, to name a few.

Metaflammation has either NO symptoms, or vague symptoms such as fatigue, sugar

cravings, generalized aches, low vitality and low grade mental health issues.

The diagram illustrates how lifestyle and the environment is the CAUSE directly, (or
indirectly through obesity)…which is the CAUSE of Metaflammation…which is the
CAUSE of our modern chronic diseases.

This is why Lifestyle Medicine addresses the REAL CAUSE of 80% of our
modern day medical problems.

Lifestyle Medicine Clinic

Over 70% of the problems we see in General Practice are caused by lifestyle. I help
you create lifestyle changes to treat your health problems.

Lifestyle medicine is the application of medical, behavioural, motivational and

environmental principles to the management of lifestyle-related health problems, in a
clinical setting. It is an evidence-based medical practice.

AGE IS A STATE OF MIND. AGING IS A TREATABLE CONDITION. People who

possess unwavering self-confidence are always the most attractive, beautiful and captivating.
A person’s self-confidence can often be dramatically improved with the smallest change in
their appearance. We achieve this by giving our patients the gift of fuller lips, a slimmer jaw
line, reduced wrinkles, smoother skin, decreased acne scarring, reduced pockets of unwanted
fat, and various other anti-aging or beauty-enhancing treatments. These subtle improvements
and enhancements make all the difference in our patients’ self-confidence. Every day, people
leave our clinic looking and feeling more beautiful.

Functional medicine

Functional medicine works to identify and address the underlying causes of disease.

Out of sheer need, healthcare is evolving from a traditional disease-centered, symptom based
focus to a more patient-centered, systems-oriented, functional approach.

This is 21st century healthcare. Functional medicine practitioners work together with their
patients, listening to their personal health histories, looking at a variety of factors including
diet, lifestyle and environmental elements that adversely affect long-term health and lead to
the onset and advancement of chronic disease. Only by addressing an individual patient and
his or her personal health can real inroads be made and true health and wellness be achieved.

Our society is experiencing a sharp increase in the number of people who suffer from
complex, chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, mental illness, and
autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis. Although we are seeing an increase in the
number of patients suffering from these illnesses, we are not seeing a commensurate rise in
the number of primary care doctors who are comfortable treating these illnesses.  A 2013
survey conducted by the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA)
revealed the following: 

64% of family physicians stated they are “uncomfortable” or “stressed” when

diagnosing autoimmune disease in patients.
73% do not believe they received adequate training in diagnosing and treating
autoimmune diseases.
57% reported they had only one or two lectures on autoimmune disease in medical
school.

Why do we need functional medicine?

The system of medicine practiced by most physicians is oriented toward acute care, the
diagnosis and treatment of trauma or illness that is of short duration and in need of urgent
care, such as appendicitis or a broken leg. Physicians apply specific, prescribed treatments
such as drugs or surgery that aim to treat the immediate problem or symptom.

Unfortunately, the acute-care approach to medicine lacks the proper methodology and tools
for preventing and treating complex, chronic disease. In most cases it does not take into
account the unique genetic makeup of each individual or factors such as environmental
exposures to toxins and the aspects of today’s lifestyle that have a direct influence on the rise
in chronic disease in modern Western society.

There’s a huge gap between research and the way doctors practice. The gap between
emerging research in basic sciences and integration into medical practice is enormous—as
long as 50 years—particularly in the area of complex, chronic illness.

Most physicians are not adequately trained to assess the underlying causes of complex,
chronic disease and to apply strategies such as nutrition, diet, and exercise to both treat and
prevent these illnesses in their patients. 

How is functional medicine different?

Functional medicine involves understanding the origins, prevention, and treatment of chronic
disease.

The focus of functional medicine is on patient-centered care, promoting health as a positive

vitality, beyond just the absence of disease. By listening to the patient and learning his or her
story, the practitioner brings the patient into the discovery process and tailors treatments that
address the individual’s unique needs.

 Allows the body to protect and heal itself by promoting healthy lifestyle choices
 Educates, guides and supports positive behaviour changes
 Treats the underlying, lifestyle-related causes of disease
 Places a focus on evidence-based optimal nutrition, stress management, sleep and physical
activity
 Encourages active patient/client participation
 Uses medications as a supplement to therapeutic lifestyle changes

What does Lifestyle medicine encompass

Practitioners provide education, guidelines, recommendations, coaching and prescriptions that

addresses these seven contributing factors to health:

 Diet and nutrition

 Exercise and activity
 Stress management
 Sleep quantity and quality
 Smoking and alcohol use
 Social relationships and sense of purpose
 Environmental exposure
 - Lifestyle Medicine can help prevent a full 80% of all chronic diseases and associated
premature deaths worldwide, based on existing knowledge we already have and can
easily apply.

ealthy Living is a program created to help you make a real life change. We find that the greatest
factor in your health is what you do on a regular basis. Many healthcare providers do not
completely understand the role of lifestyle in health and disease. Fewer promote its importance.
And fewer still are able to give accurate and applicable guidance on how to make such changes. At
the Natural Family Health Clinic we specialize in lifestyle medicine. This is both our expertise and
passion. We will walk you through a step-by-step process of making a lifestyle change so that you
can achieve your goals and create a habit that will serve you for the rest of your life.

Whether you are interested in healthy weight reduction, reversing diabetes, resolving
digestive complaints, balancing hormones or improving energy and stamina this program is
for you. Past participants have been able to achieve all of these outcomes and more.

As a physician, I have witnessed the fundamental need to broaden and deepen our
understanding of food, drink and activity as it relates to the health and longevity of ourselves,
our families, our communities and world.

There is no short cut or miracle drug that will create health and wellness for us. Health is the
result of the accumulation of our daily choices of how we nourish our bodies and minds.

Healthy Living is designed to help you identify the changes you need to make, create a plan to
do so and support you during the process so that your new choices can become a habit. Once
you establish a new habit then real progress has been made that will last a lifetime.

Healthy Living is only the beginning. Studies show that it takes a minimum of 12 weeks to
establish a new habit. Beyond that point it will be a process of renewing and revising your
health plan so that it continues to work for you throughout your life.

Change means change. There is no other way to become the new, healthier and happier you.
Be ready to let go of some old habits and ways of thinking and be open to new possibilities of
how you might be able to create the lifestyle you envision for yourself.

This is a program unlike anything else you have experienced. It incorporates the physical,
biochemical, mental-emotional, metabolic and practical aspects of improving health and
making a real life change. Such change is not easy, but you are worth the effort and sacrifice.

Make the commitment today to yourself and your loved ones. Become a part of Healthy
Living and experience the change you are looking for!

The cornerstone of good health

Lifestyle medicine refers to the recognition that modifiable lifestyle factors (e.g.,
unhealthy diet, poor ability to cope with stress) are major contributors to the development of
chronic illness, and that creation and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle plan (as opposed to
pharmaceuticals) can be used successfully as primary treatments for these health conditions.
In fact, healthful behaviours can affect our health on the most profound, cellular and genetic
levels:

 Cancer tumour-suppressing genes can be “turned on” by consumption of chemicals present

in green tea
 Genes that promote fat storage can “turned off” by exercsie
 Genes that promote inflammation can be “turned off” by meditating
 Telomere (the portion of the cell responsible for protection of a cell’s genetic material)
length is significantly increased by nutritious diet, exercise and stress management (telomore
shortening is associated with development of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity and
osteoporosis)

Benefits of Lifestyle Medicine

According to a 2009 research study, modifiable lifestyle factors (including tobacco use,
obesity, physical inactivity, low intake of vegetables and fruits, low dietary intake of “healthy
fats”) are responsible for almost 85% of all deaths in the United States.

Increased success in treatment of all health conditions is increased when a healthy lifestyle is
observed.

Health conditions preventable and/or responsive to lifestyle medicine approaches include:

 25% of heart disease deaths

 90% of diabetes mellitus
 90-95% of cancers
 Obesity 
 Osteoporosis

 Anxiety 
 Sleep apnea
 Liver disease
 Osteoarthritis 
 Infertility
 Gallbladder disease
 Gout

Frequently overlooked benefits of a lifestyle medicine approach include:

 Absence of side effects

 Low cost
 Increased energy
 Improved mood
 Improved self-esteem
 Improved sleep quality
 Decreased weight
 Improved fitness
 Improved digestion
 Improved sleep quality
 Generally improved wellbeing and quality of life
What to Expect
Lifestyle medicine is a process, in which lifestyle factors contributing to illness are identified,
health goals are created, obstacles to achieving health goals are identified, tools for smooth
integration of lifestyle change into your existing routine are taught and motivational tools are
developed.

Over time, progress towards goals is monitored (in one study, patients who were monitored
monthly achieved their goal 15 times more quickly than those monitored twice yearly), until
goals are achieved and importantly, maintained.

The goal of any therapeutic lifestyle change program is to create a lifestyle that results in
reversal of illness symptoms, and prevention of future disease.
