Over 80% of the most common diseases seen in primary care (stroke, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, cancer) can be prevented and improved through basic lifestyle habits: foods, activity, smoking, and stress management. Many people who seek healthcare receive treatments that control symptoms of acute illness but do not address the root causes of disease. This leaves little time to focus on lifestyle issues that can boost long-term health.

​

At Academic Medical Associates, our primary care providers in Irving, TX, are skilled at treating symptoms and addressing the lifestyle factors that cause disease. For patients interested in in-depth lifestyle counseling, we offer a comprehensive treatment plan that includes appropriate medications, a healthy diet, activity, and other lifestyle prescriptions to promote health. Patients who follow such a plan can often see significant, sustained improvement in their current and long-term health.
