ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, February 11, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In a unique medical partnership, two of the leading Lifestyle Medicine organizations have announced plans to collaborate on a program which will empower more people to begin to take back their health through a whole-food plant-based diet.

Plant Based Telehealth (PBTH), whose mission is to make plant-based Lifestyle Medicine available to everyone from the comfort of their home, will refer their patients to the

highly successful, Zoom based, 15-Day Whole-Food Plant-Based Jumpstart Program. Jumpstart, developed and run by Rochester Lifestyle Medicine Institute (RLMI), is one of only four programs certified by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM).

RLMI Founder and President Ted Barnett, MD, FACLM, explains why this partnership with PBTH is so important. “Typically, clinicians have limited time to counsel patients on the rationale and practical skills behind reversing chronic disease through nutrition – thereby avoiding pills and procedures. Now, with one referral, patients have access to a standardized program to build motivation and competence, in a socially supportive, interactive environment. After just two weeks, Jumpstart participants often have remarkable health improvements, and have the knowledge and skills to continue their healthy journey.”

Plant Based TeleHealth Co-founder and CEO Anthony Masiello adds, “All of the physicians at PBTH are fully committed to providing the highest level of care to their patients. Having patients participate in RLMI’s Jumpstart offers the potential to accelerate results and build a solid foundation for a lifetime of optimal health and wellness.”

Plant Based TeleHealth doctors can prescribe the 15-Day Jumpstart to their patients, including the collection of both pre- and post-Jumpstart biomarkers, provide additional patient guidance and monitoring throughout the duration of the program.

More information about the program can be found at https://plantbasedtelehealth.com/jumpstart.

RLMI’s Jumpstart has a proven track record of success, with participants experiencing the following average recorded results in just 15 days:

Weight loss -5.8 pounds, -7.3 pounds for those with BMI over 30
Systolic blood pressure -6.8 points, -16.7 points for those with BP over 140
Total cholesterol -26 points, -44 points for those with cholesterol over 200
LDL cholesterol -19 points, -33 points for those with LDL over 100
Fasting glucose -5.1 points, -28.4 points for those in diabetes range
