Season 4, Episode 11: Lifestyle Medicine – The Foundation For A Long, Healthy Life
At Diapoint, we talk a lot about Lifestyle Medicine and its importance in diabetes management and general health. But with all the sudden online focus, you might be a little skeptical about its usefulness.
In this episode, we clear up all doubts and speak with Aarti Javari-Mehta, MD: a Board Certified Internal Medicine Specialist who uses Lifestyle Medicine in her medical practice, and modern medical guidelines that recommend doctors prescribe lifestyle changes first when treating many chronic conditions.
Dr. Aarti walks us through the pillars of lifestyle medicine:
- Whole-food, plant based nutrition
- Physical activity
- Restorative sleep
- Stress management
- Avoidance of risky substances
- Positive social connections
Pam and Dr. Aarti discuss many myths and facts about these pillars. They also shed light on the latest diet trends and how to eat intuitively and mindfully. Dr. Aarti also shares some tips and information that you can implement now to improve your overall health today.
Learn more about Dr. Aarti’s work and her lifestyle program Sustain Health. And follow her on Instagram and LinkedIn.

About Dia-Logue: The Diapoint Podcast and Pamela Durant
Pam Durant is a diabetes thought leader, entrepreneur, healthcare expert and wellness coach. She is the Founder and Managing Director of Diapoint – The Place for People Touched By Diabetes.
Her successful healthcare management career was turned upside down when her 20-month-old son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes over a decade ago. Not only did this challenge Pam as a parent, it also challenged everything that she believed and understood about healthcare and the provider-patient relationship. As she went on to tackle the steep learning curve of diabetes to support her son to grow and thrive with this condition, she soon realized the great need for change in healthcare and in diabetes management.
She was inspired to create Diapoint, a company that focuses on people with diabetes through events, education, advocacy and products to support them.
She also supports clients with her Wellness and Lifestyle Medicine Coaching at pameladurant.com.
