Audiologists spend their careers helping others improve health, communication, and quality of life. Yet, audiologists, like other healthcare providers, often neglect their own physical, emotional, and mental health while caring for others. This engaging and practical session will revisit the six pillars of Lifestyle Medicine: nutrition, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, and positive social connections, and explore how these evidence-based principles can help audiologists prioritize and maintain their own health and quality of life.
Attendees will be able to:
- Describe the six pillars of Lifestyle Medicine and their relevance to personal health and professional well-being.
- List common barriers that prevent healthcare professionals from practicing healthy lifestyle behaviors.
- Describe practical strategies for incorporating Lifestyle Medicine principles into daily routines to enhance resilience, wellness, and professional longevity.
