As we embark on 2025, I am thrilled to share with you a new health App designed specifically for women that’s available at no cost and shareable with the whole community of patients and health professionals. This App is called RISE and it’s unlike any other health apps on the market. I have the honor of contributing contents with over 50 leading Lifestyle Medicine experts to create videos for Rise Season One. The focus is on food and lifestyle as medicine and how to transform our health through our diet and lifestyle habits.
As a PA-C, I have been searching for reliable resources for the kind of education, skill-building, and community support essential for achieving meaningful lifestyle changes for my patients, loved ones, and the community that I serve. RISE addresses these needs in an incredibly novel format that is convenient and reliable.
About Rise:
Rise is a blend of science and entertainment. The experience is like watching our favorite TV show. The first season inspires users to make step-by-step changes to their diet that add up to big improvements to their health overtime. You learn from experts, watch the health transformations of women who used Rise before you, and you are matched to a peer community to give and receive advice and support. Powered by behavior change science, Rise guides women episode-by-episode hosted by Dr. David Katz, former President of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. And Nigel Barker, from America’s Top Model, introduces opportunities to apply the skills that you are learning on a journey in community with other women.
Rise is completely science-based and a whole lot of fun too!
One of the biggest reasons I chose to become a volunteer with RISE and a content-creating contributor is because of our shared vision of adding more LIFE into years rather than just adding years into life. The longevity of life should not go without the longevity of health. I am a big proponent of improving our healthspan no matter what stage of life we are in!
To learn more about RISE, please visit their website (at riseseasonone.com) and check out the informative video.
Please use the code Rise2024 to access the clinical activation kit on the RISE website, where you will find detailed instructions for experiencing RISE yourself, along with a wealth of resources to support extending RISE to your network of connections. In Lifestyle Medicine, knowing and connecting to our Why’s helps to make a change successful and one that sticks. Let’s start off this new year on the right note and define clearly our WHY’s!
In Health and with Warmest Regards,
