Increase quality of life by reducing your reliance on prescription medications and living a vibrantly healthy life -- even into your 80s and 90s!

Dr. Cynthia Morgan, Founder and Executive Medical Director of the Ozark Center for Lifestyle Medicine and Karen Gros, Founder of Karen Gros Wellness Cooking School and Travel and Associate Director of Education at the Ozark Center for Lifestyle Medicine, will introduce participants to the six pillars of Lifestyle Medicine, namely:

  • Quality nutrition
  • Physical activity
  • Stress management
  • Restorative sleep
  • Positive relationships
  • Avoidance of risky substances

While we will touch on all six pillars, we will emphasize the role of food as medicine, and will provide a wide variety of beautiful colorful dishes for participants to taste and see how incredibly delicious healthy food can be!

Lifestyle Medicine offers an evidence-based, practical, and therapeutic approach to managing, preventing, and even reversing chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
