Our everyday habits—how we eat, move, and live—are making us sick. Traditional medicine tries to treat the symptoms with more medications, while our health gets worse beneath the surface. Lifestyle Medicine focuses on real healing. We delve deeper to address the root causes of your health conditions and empower you with small, impactful changes to your everyday life. Our approach, grounded in six key pillars, equips you to fundamentally transform your health from the root cause.

The foods you eat are the building blocks of your health. Focusing on whole, plant foods full of fiber nourishes your body, combats disease-causing inflammation and promotes healing. This way of eating leads to sustainable weight loss, improved digestion and gut health, and can treat conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.
Our medical team guides you in adopting a dietary pattern that can halt or even reverse the progression of these chronic diseases. With the right food choices, you lay a strong foundation for your overall health.
Moving more has a multitude of benefits for both your physical and mental health. Regular activity improves cardiovascular health, strengthens muscles, and increases flexibility. It’s key in our fight against health conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.
Exercise doesn’t need to feel like a chore. We're here to help you discover and engage in activities that bring you joy, and to find small, simple lifestyle changes that add more movement to your day.
We know sleep is important, but very few of us get enough. Regular, high-quality sleep is integral to health, and helps to repair and restore the body and mind, with many important roles such as regulating our hunger hormones.
By working with your medical team to improve both quality and quantity of sleep, you can improve cognitive function, strengthen your immune system, and take another step towards treating lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
Stress reduction is crucial for maintaining good health. We often underestimate the impact of stress on our overall health and conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.
Our expert team will guide you to find calm and balance in your life with proven techniques. We can support you with practical coping strategies tailored to your personal circumstances.
Giving and receiving love and support is integral to your health and happiness. Feeling connected can give your life a sense of purpose and meaning. It's a crucial element on your path to healing.
Our Mora Circles go beyond offering medical advice—they serve as a supportive community where experiences are shared, and relationships are nurtured. We help you to recognize and prioritize the relationships that are important to you, helping you create the time and space to nourish them.
Cutting down on substances like tobacco and too much alcohol lowers your risk of long-term health problems. It's important to know how these substances can affect your health. If it's something you're dealing with, our medical team can guide you to understand why we might turn to these harmful substances, and they'll share strategies to help you use less of them.

Answers to frequently asked questions by patients who are getting started with Mora.
We provide patients with a comprehensive treatment plan that includes one-to-one appointments with a dedicated clinician, Mora Circles, and our Lifestyle Medicine and Weight Loss Masterclasses run by the medical team. Alongside one-to-one appointments, you'll join a virtual Mora Circle with up to 10 other patients on a similar health journey.
These weekly meetings, led by a physician or physician assistant, focus on the pillars of lifestyle medicine: whole foods, plant-based diet, restorative sleep, stress management, physical activity, substance control, and positive social connections. As your health conditions improve, we'll continue to adjust your treatment plan to fit your unique needs. Most patients see improvements in their biomarkers within the first week of working with Mora, and it's even possible to begin deprescribing medications within the first 10 days as the symptoms of your condition normalize.
During your personalized virtual visit, our board-certified physicians are here to assist with wellness check-ups, in-depth health assessments, or addressing specific medical conditions. Together, we'll explore your health concerns, evaluate your current lifestyle, develop a tailored health plan, and, if needed, order lab tests to ensure comprehensive care tailored to your unique needs.
Each group medical visit will include 60-90 minutes of detailed, comprehensive medical treatment and advice for the group and each individual patient, run by a board-certified physician or physician assistant— all from the comfort of your own home.
You’ll discuss your progress, receive individualized advice from the physician, connect with other patients, and receive a weekly resource guide with simple, actionable advice. You’ll also receive a lifestyle prescription from your physician which consists of small but impactful changes you can make each week.
Your clinician will ask questions to the group and to you individually to learn more about your symptoms, goals and weekly progress. They will work with you to create an actionable, personalized care plan that may include lab testing, alongside weekly lifestyle recommendations.
At this time, Mora Circles are for patients aged 18 and above.
Your one-to-one physician visit will be 30 minutes long.
Your first Mora Circle is 90 minutes long. This gives everyone the opportunity to introduce themselves, get to know each other, and ask any questions they have.

After this, the rest of your Mora Circles run closer to 60 minutes, which gives each patient plenty of time with their medical team.
Your licensed, board-certified physicians, and physician assistants, are qualified to deprescribe medication, order lab tests, monitor your RPM data, and assess your symptoms and health condition to create a personalized treatment plan for you.
Combined, they will care for you throughout your time at Mora, and are available to answer any questions you have surrounding your health and plan.
