The American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) is dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey toward optimal health through a whole food, plant-predominant eating pattern. This online program and its accompanying videos are designed to help people transition to a predominantly plant-based dietary pattern, providing practical guidance, education, and inspiration along the way. While the program can be used independently for educational purposes, the most benefit will be achieved when used in partnership with your clinician.
We recognize that dietary transitions are personal and can vary greatly among individuals. While the primary focus of this program is on plant-based recipes, we understand that some people include other foods in their diets. Accordingly, this program includes recipes in some sessions that may incorporate ingredients outside of a strictly plant-based framework. These recipes are thoughtfully developed to ensure they are prepared in the healthiest way possible, and are accompanied by a variety of tools, tips, and techniques to help you successfully move along a spectrum of increasing whole, plant foods in your dietary pattern.
Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and skills to make informed choices that align with your personal health goals, whether you’re fully plant-based or incorporating other foods into your diet. We encourage you to explore the program content, try the recipes, and take steps that best suit your lifestyle and health objectives.
