This presentation will introduce the emerging field of positive health, which combines lifestyle medicine, positive psychology and factors in the biopsychosocial model for optimal health and well-being. This clinical and population-based approach aims, not only to help individuals achieve physical health and psychological well-being, but also to help them thrive and grow in the face of adversity. In some health care contexts, the approach is referred to as person-centered or whole health medical care. However, ‘positive health’ specifically highlights the role of positive psychology interventions in addition to healthy lifestyles. It incorporates interventions along a continuum that facilitates movement from conditions, such as stress, trauma, loneliness, to becoming one’s “best self,” regardless of underlying health conditions. The process can advance the prevention and treatment of mental and physical illnesses, especially when progress in health behavior change and overall treatment is challenging.
Positive health-oriented clinical practice can be incorporated into standard medical appointments and health coaching, supported by the health care team, referrals to community resources, and digital tools. This session will review highlights of the scientific studies that demonstrate the reinforcing, reciprocal link between positive emotions and health behaviors and how positive psychology can be integrated into the lifestyle medicine pillars, as described in the recent groundbreaking book, Lifestyle Medicine From the Inside Out. We will also introduce positive health strategies that can be incorporated throughout clinical care encounters, including health coaching to optimize health outcomes.
