Rochester Lifestyle Medicine Institute

At Rochester Lifestyle Medicine Institute, we help people turn evidence-based nutrition into real-life change.

Our flagship 15-Day Whole-Food, Plant-Based Jumpstart gives patients structured education, support, and guidance to experience how food can improve weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and overall well-being in just two weeks.

For clinicians, Jumpstart is a practical referral pathway: you keep your patients, and we operationalize the education. RLMI provides the intensive whole-food, plant-based lifestyle instruction and support many patients need, so providers can focus on diagnosis, treatment, medication management, and the clinical work only they can do.

We also support clinicians through CME-accredited education, including Lifestyle Medicine Grand Rounds and our partnership with Moving Medicine Forward to host Dr. Michael Klaper’s Masterclass in Plant-Based Clinical Nutrition.
