Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine
Better care begins with prevention
We’re flipping the script on healthcare. No more one-size-fits-all. No more treating symptoms without seeing the whole you. At the HonorHealth Whole Health Institute, your care is personalized, proactive and rooted in evidence-based practices that help you thrive — not just survive.
From tackling chronic conditions head-on to boosting vitality, we pave the road to being your best self.
Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine
Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine blend clinical precision with everyday habits that heal.
- Integrative Medicine supports your mind, body and spirit by combining trusted medical treatments with therapies like acupuncture, mindfulness, nutrition and stress support.
- Lifestyle Medicine helps prevent and even reverse chronic conditions by focusing on six key areas: food, movement, resilience, sleep, connection and purpose.
Together, they transform "sick care" into healthcare, empowering you to take an active role in your well-being.
Why both matter at the Institute
At the HonorHealth Whole Health Institute, we unite Lifestyle Medicine and Integrative Medicine as complementary frameworks:
- Lifestyle Medicine gives us a structured, evidence-based pathway for preventing, treating and reversing chronic conditions through lifestyle change.
- Integrative Medicine broadens the lens to include whole-person care, therapeutic relationships, mind-body-spirit integration and the judicious evidence-based use of complementary therapies alongside conventional ones.
Together, they form the scientific and compassionate heart of our Institute — guiding how we deliver care, design research, develop education and engage communities.
A roadmap for lasting vitality
Rooted in evidence and powered by compassion, we inspire people to make lifestyle changes by using these six essential pillars of whole-person health.
1. Food and nutrition
Healing begins with what’s on your plate. From teaching kitchen classes and culinary medicine visits to personalized nutrition consults and fresh food prescriptions from Desert Mission and the HonorHealth Research Institute, our food and nutrition programs help prevent and reverse chronic conditions for lasting health.
2. Exercise and movement
Movement is powerful medicine. From VO₂ max testing and personalized fitness evaluations to HonorHealth Medical Fitness, cardiac rehab and specialized performance programs, we help everyone — from weekend warriors to athletes — move with strength and purpose.
3. Resilience and mind-body health
True healing goes beyond the physical. Through mindfulness, yoga, integrative therapies, behavioral health support and workshops on meaning and purpose, we help you find your balance and resilience.
4. Sleep and restoration
Sleep is the foundation of health. In collaboration with the HonorHealth Bob Bové Neuroscience Institute and behavioral health, we offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), diagnostic sleep studies and circadian health and recovery workshops — to restore your balance, sleep patterns and vitality.
5. Social connection and community
Longevity thrives on connection. We bring people together through support groups, wellness events, Blue Zones Project Scottsdale, partnerships in schools, workplaces and across our community. Our programs foster belonging and support.
6. Purpose, meaning and fulfillment
Health flourishes when life feels meaningful. Through workshops, retreats and group programs that blend lifestyle and personal growth, we help you discover what matters most. In collaboration with our behavioral and spiritual care teams — and inspired by the Blue Zones’ Power 9 — these programs support living longer, more meaningful lives.
A path of wellness for all
- If you’re seeking care: You’ll experience an approach that prioritizes your health behaviors (nutrition, movement, sleep, stress) and honors your whole self — mind, body, spirit, context.
- If you’re a clinician or learner: You’ll join a model that uses the best of behavior change science and integrative therapies, forging new paradigms of health and healing.
- If you’re a supporter: You’ll invest in a future where chronic disease isn’t merely managed, but prevented or reversed — and where whole-person well-being becomes the standard of care.
