Every clinical practice guideline in the world lists lifestyle intervention as the first line of treatment for chronic metabolic disease. But delivering lifestyle care in primary care is virtually impossible — there isn't enough time, the tools don't exist, and patients aren't always ready.

Conditions that respond to structured lifestyle intervention
Patients move through stages of readiness before they take action. Your role is to meet them where they are and move them forward — through group visits that educate, motivate, and connect them to structured support.
How the partnership works
That's the commitment. One session per month, with your patients, in your practice. You attend it, you bill for it, and you stay in control. We provide the co-facilitator, the content, the patient outreach, and the software — all at no cost.

You're never running the group visit alone. A registered dietitian from LifestyleRx joins every session as your co-facilitator — bringing clinical nutrition expertise, helping guide discussions, and supporting patients through behaviour change. They're part of your team for the visit, at no cost.

Before each group visit, patients complete educational modules and self-assessments through the LifestyleRx platform. They arrive informed and ready to engage — so your sessions are focused, productive, and clinically meaningful.
We provide a structured curriculum covering nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, and the physiology of metabolic disease — all evidence-based, all ready to use.
03
The Lifestyle Assist platform is purpose-built for group medical visits. No generic EHR workarounds, no spreadsheets. A dedicated system that runs your entire GMV program — from patient sign-up to clinical documentation.
04
As patients move through group visits and into structured programs, you'll see the change across your panel — declining A1c averages, weight reduction, fewer medication escalations, and patients in remission.
The platform tracks it all and gives you a clear, measurable picture of the impact lifestyle medicine is having in your practice.
Step by step
Pick a recurring date and time that works for your practice. That's the only calendar commitment — one group medical visit per month.
Each session has a ready-made topic — nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress, insulin resistance, and more. Select the one that fits your patient population. Curriculum and materials are provided.
Invitation emails, SMS reminders, and a sign-up landing page — all handled by us, branded to your practice. Patients register and complete pre-session modules before they arrive.
See a patient in clinic who could benefit? Enroll them on the spot. The platform makes it easy to add patients at the point of care — no paperwork, no faxes.
A registered dietitian from LifestyleRx joins every group visit as your co-facilitator. They can lead as much or as little of the session as you'd like — it's your group, your style.
The patient experience
From the first invitation to the end of the session, the experience is designed to be low-friction and high-value — for both you and your patients.
We send professionally designed promotional materials — emails and text messages — to your patient panel, branded to your practice. Each message highlights the upcoming topic and makes it easy to sign up in one click.
You or your staff can also mention upcoming sessions during visits and enroll patients on the spot — it takes seconds.

No cost · No obligation · Limited to 30 spots
No long-term commitment, no multi-week program to agree to up front. Patients register for a single session on a single topic. That low barrier makes it easy to say yes — and once they experience it, they come back.
Before the session, patients watch brief videos explaining what to expect at a group medical visit — the format, the norms, how it works — along with an introduction to the session's key topic. They arrive informed and ready to engage.
The session is structured but conversational — designed to educate, activate, and connect patients to deeper support. You and your dietitian co-facilitator lead it together, with flexibility to adapt to your style.
LifestyleRx is a clinic entity — a physician-led group delivering lifestyle medicine programs that are fully covered by provincial health plans in BC, Alberta, and Ontario. We provide all of these tools and support to partner practices free of charge because it helps us identify patients who may benefit from referral to our programs.
Your group medical visits are billable encounters under your practice. We charge no overhead, no subscription fees, and take no cut. You keep 100% of your billings. We simply ask that when patients are ready for deeper support, you consider referring them to LifestyleRx.
