1. Overview

The Cleveland Clinic Wellness and Preventive Medicine Annual Conference 2026 offers an integrative approach to patient care, focusing on lifestyle, functional, and culinary medicine. The program explores mind-body connections, hormonal health across genders, cognitive preservation, and practical dietary interventions to empower providers in optimizing holistic patient wellness.

Course Date: April 24, 2026

Why Attend?

Most of the chronic conditions in the United States are lifestyle driven, yet most clinicians received little formal education in lifestyle intervention during training. Many patients seek complementary medical interventions, which are also rarely discussed in conventional medicine training.

This conference aims to provide attendees with a framework to assess and support common chronic conditions using lifestyle, integrative and functional medicine approaches. Specific, evidence-based tools in each of these areas will be shared with attendees, with the goal to empower attendees to provide lifestyle intervention counseling to patients. Evidence-based discussion of complementary medicine will also help attendees understand the indication and limitation of these modalities for patient care. Specific conditions in brain health, aging, mental health, hormone balance, and culinary medicine will be discussed.

2. Learning Objectives

• Implement lifestyle recommendations to reduce dementia risk and optimize brain function.
• Recommend complementary modalities to support men and women transitioning through menopause and aging.
• Identify the impact of mental health on chronic disease and prescribe mindfulness practice tools.
• Discover culinary medicine to recommend simple nutritional considerations for longevity and chronic disease management.

3. Target Audience

Best for primary care physicians, holistic practitioners, and dietitians who want updates on functional, lifestyle, and preventive medicine.
