This document discusses how lifestyle medicine can be used for both individual and corporate lifestyle transformations. It outlines how making changes to diet, exercise, sleep, and mindset can help prevent chronic diseases. For corporations, it notes that chronic diseases cost employers billions annually and that supporting employee weight loss and physical activity programs could significantly reduce healthcare costs and productivity losses. The document advocates implementing whole food, plant-based diets, mindfulness practices, adequate exercise and sleep as part of lifestyle transformation programs.
21. Mindset Prescription

36. Annual Costs to Employers
The top five chronic conditions cost employers:
$11.2 billion (obesity)
$10.3 billion (hypertension)
$9.1 billion (physical inactivity)
$3.6 billion (current smoking)
$2.2 billion (diabetes)
Total of $36.4 billion
(Asay et al., 2016)
37. Moderate and Severe Obesity Increase
Total Healthcare Costs
Dollar costs:
$116 billion from all levels of obesity across all healthcare payers
$69 billion from severe obesity alone
2x cost for severe obesity vs. moderate obesity for all age groups and both men and women
Who pays for severe obesity?
41% public sources (30% Medicare and other federal sources and 11 percent for Medicaid)
27% private insurance
30% out-of-pocket
Among adults <65 yrs, costs of severe obesity borne by:
13% Medicaid
36% commercial plans
(Wang et al., 2015)
38. Cost Savings with BMI Reduction
Private payers and employers can potentially save money by supporting
employees in weight loss
Biggest gains will be among those 45-65
Older adults incur greater health problems & costs
Healthcare costs of those over 65 are largely paid by public sources (Medicare)
Targeting those in highest weight class will yield biggest cost reduction
Weight reduction from severe obesity moderate obesity should on average
should cut total healthcare expenditures due to obesity in half
(Wang et al., 2015; Ghanta, 2017)
39. T2D, Cost, and Physical Activity
Cost of diagnosed type 2 diabetes attributable to not meeting Guidelines in
the US in 2012 estimated to range from $7.34 billion to $38.55 billion
Cost of all type 2 diabetes ranged from $10.19 billion to $53.45 billion
(Shah et al., 2017)

41. Indirect Costs (Born Largely by
Employer)
Includes

Premature mortality
Work days absent
Reduced productivity for those not in the workforce

44. Employer-Sponsored Healthcare
Total cost of health care, including premiums and out-of-pocket costs for
employees and dependents, is estimated to average $14,800 per employee in
2019, up from $14,099 in 2018
Large employers will cover roughly 70% of those costs
$4,400 on average for employees out-of-pocket expenses
Today we are going to talk about using LIFESTYLE changes to transform YOU, the individual, and maybe even YOUR COMPANIES if you take the right steps....
Companies have more to gain with healthy employees than good looking meetings LOL
Individual or team based programs that are based on evidence and empowerment and education have results.
Can you imagine if everyone got the health and mind relief from using food as medicine, exercise prescriptions, mindful interactions and the sleep they need? Someone who is an active participant in their healthcare is an active participant in LIFE. The interactions and efficiency changes you would see?
Not to mention the cost savings. Here are a few of many stats….80% of health care spending is on lifestyle related illness and injuries. Each additional day of exercise decreases health care costs by 47%
An inactive person costs the $1500 more per year than an active person and it costs only approximately $500 to convert an inactive to active person.
JH researchers found that being obese added an average of $14,059 in health care costs—either paid by them or their health insurer—over the course of their lifetime. But that’s not all: it would also cost them $14,141 in productivity losses, for a grand total average of $28,020.

study also showed the cost-savings opportunities in helping someone move from an obese to overweight, or from overweight to a normal, it makes the monetary value of weight loss more concrete. Rather than waiting for someone to have a heart attack before investing in their care, money would be better spent on helping that person lose weight instead.
report increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, fewer accidents, lower turnover, increased ability to attract top talent, and medical costs that grow slower than industry norms, reduced rates of obesity and progress in reducing risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure
THESE ARE ALL PREVENTABLE AND MODIFIABLE RISKS are they worth investing in?

Start following your individual lifestyle prescriptions I gave you today. But start thinking big, thinking outside, thinking different. Is it something small like a carrot incentive instead of a stick consequence? Is it MBSR programs offered on site quarterly? Is it forming relationships with companies that can coach for specific needs? Is it investing in people up front and saving in productivity now and health cost later? Is it an entire new lifestyle focus in the company (new food, new exercise, new staff meeting topics, new chairs)? Can you transform your company? Can you prove it will ROI for you? I’m excited to hear how it will go and how far you can go?! We are all better together, so let's banter some ideas before we go!
