View profile for Beth Frates, MD

Associate Professor Part-Time at Harvard Medical School; Founder of PAVING The Path To Wellness non-profit; Immediate Past President of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.

What an honor and delight to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) at the Annual Conference in Orlando this past October. One of the highlights of the meeting for me was participating on the panel of Presidents of ACLM. Serving as President of this incredible, purpose-filled, passion-driven community of over 13,000 healthcare professionals was one of the greatest honors of my career. I am so grateful that I was voted into this position in 2021, served as President-Elect for two years, and then President for two years until October 30, 2024. I will continue my service as an immediate Past President until 2026. The nation and the world are ready for a focus on nutrition, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, positive social connections, and avoidance of risky substances. Now is the time for lifestyle medicine. I am so excited to continue this journey with all of you! #gratitude #lifestylemedicine #health #healthylifestyles

Hope your message reaches more medical practitioners in the US. Need to get away from the pharma-based treat-the-symptom dogma that pervades.

I think it’s a testimony to show practice what you preach— this is the healthiest appearing panel of any medical organizations I’ve seen.
