Overview: This accredited podcast explores the powerful link between happiness science and well-being, rooted in the evidence-based principles of positive psychology and lifestyle medicine. Our two NP speakers, Kathleen Perrott Wilson and Alicia (Ali) Craig-Rodriguez begin with a brief overview of the six pillars of lifestyle medicine—nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, positive social connections, and avoidance of risky substances—and their crucial role in healthcare. They then delve into how lifestyle choices directly impact disease, demonstrating how modifications can improve chronic disease management, prevention, and overall thriving. A key focus is on the profound impact of social connections and positive emotions on physical and emotional health, and longevity. Finally, they explore how integrating these lifestyle pillars with positive psychology creates a synergistic path to flourishing and a higher quality of life. This activity is an Accredited AANP Podcast Activity. Learners will need to listen to the podcast through their preferred podcast provider (Search for "NP Pulse" and listen to Episode 136).
