Mayor Eric Adams announced Monday the expansion of “lifestyle medicine” services to six locations in the city’s public hospital network, including two in Brooklyn.

The new lifestyle medicine “clinics” will help people with chronic illnesses, like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension, make healthy changes to their lifestyle, including plant-based diets, exercise, increasing sleep, and reducing stress, the mayor said Monday.

Hizzoner further maintained that these lifestyle changes can prevent people from suffering chronic illness, can improve health outcomes for those suffering from them, and in some cases, such as his own, even reverse a diagnosis.
