Frequently asked questions about Lifestyle Medicine
What is Lifestyle Medicine?
Lifestyle Medicine is an evidence-based medical approach that uses behavioral strategies across nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, social connections and other pillars to support prevention and lasting health.
Is Lifestyle Medicine only for people who are already sick?
No. The approach is focused on prevention and on caring for health at every stage of life. It is indicated for anyone who wants to organize habits and reduce risks, always within an individual medical assessment.
How is the care personalized?
After medical assessment, the plan is built around your routine, goals, history and habits. There is no generic protocol: the strategy is individualized and adjusted over time.
Does it replace my current medical treatment?
No. Lifestyle Medicine complements your care and does not replace any prescribed medical treatment. Your physician guides the best approach for your case.
Who leads the care at Corradi Medical?
Care is led by Dr. Guilherme Corradi, a Sports Medicine physician with a specialist title (RQE 62929) and trained in Lifestyle Medicine by the European Lifestyle Medicine Organization (ELMO), supported by a multidisciplinary team.
What does “specialist” mean in Brazil?
In Brazil, the title “specialist” follows a clear rule: it can only be used by physicians who hold an RQE (Registro de Qualificação de Especialidade), issued by the Regional Council of Medicine after officially recognized training. This exists to protect you, the patient.
My specialist title is in Sports Medicine, with an active registration: RQE 62929. Before choosing any physician, check that they hold an RQE in the area they advertise — the lookup is public and can be done on your state CRM website.
Lifestyle Medicine, in turn, is not yet a recognized medical specialty in Brazil — it is a field of practice and complementary training. In my case, I am certified by ELMO (European Lifestyle Medicine Organization), in Belgium, and I apply this approach within my practice as a Sports Medicine physician. Transparency is also medicine: you deserve to know exactly who is caring for your health.
