Healthy sleep doesn’t start at bedtime—it starts with daily routines, family habits, and clinical conversations.

In our latest blog, Dr. Hasnaa E. Jalou, pediatric sleep specialist and chair of ACLM’s Sleep Member Interest Group, shares how sleep shapes children’s physical, emotional, and cognitive health long before problems appear.

Children's sleep isn't just a bedtime matter. It's foundational to pediatric and family health.

“Healthcare costs go down in two ways: lower prices, or lower utilization.” — Dr. Sachin Jain, CEO of SCAN Group and SCAN Health Plan

Too often, reducing utilization means denying care. But there’s another path: helping people become healthier so they simply need less care.

That’s where lifestyle medicine comes in.

By improving blood pressure, managing lipids, supporting mental well-being, and addressing the root causes of disease, we can build a system where better health—not restricted access—drives lower costs.

A healthier population isn’t just better for patients. It’s the long-term solution for a sustainable healthcare system.

Medical Schools Outline New Nutrition Education Commitments

Beginning in fall 2026, 53 medical schools across 31 states plan to implement at least 40 hours of nutrition education—or a 40‑hour competency equivalent—following new voluntary commitments announced by HHS. The initiative includes $5 million to support development of nutrition‑focused coursework, clinical training, and research across health professional programs.

This Healio article examines what this announcement means for medical education and clinical practice, including expert commentary from Dr. Brenda Rea, medical director of education at ACLM. In the piece, Dr. Rea discusses why competency‑based nutrition education has been limited historically and how these commitments could shape future patient care and prevention efforts.

ACLM stands ready to assist medical schools and training programs with evidence‑based nutrition education coursework, competencies, and clinical resources. Learn more about ACLM’s Food as Medicine work and tools: https://lifestylemedicine.org/food-as-medicine/

Meaning, purpose, and spirituality are foundational to whole‑person health.

A new peer‑reviewed special issue of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine shows these elements are strongly linked to healthier behaviors, resilience, well‑being, and even lower mortality risk — and calls for them to be fully integrated into lifestyle medicine, not treated as optional add‑ons.

Developed from a 100-expert convening, the series outlines practical, patient‑led strategies to bring meaning‑centered care into everyday clinical practice with compassion and cultural sensitivity.
