Lifestyle Medicine 2024 and The Essential Health Summit: Wrap-up

We wrapped up the Lifestyle Medicine 2024 Conference and Essential Health Summit with incredible energy, inspiration, and new insights! This year’s event brought together over 900 delegates, including health professionals, researchers, and advocates, all united by a shared commitment to improve the health of Australians and New Zealanders.

The conference featured a dynamic lineup of speakers, interactive masterclasses, and thought-provoking panel discussions, covering everything from the latest research in chronic disease prevention to practical strategies for integrating Lifestyle Medicine into everyday practice.

A highlight of the event was the keynote address by Prof Michael Kidd, who captivated the audience with his insights on Global Primary Care and Future Health Systems. Equally impactful was the Plenary session ‘Redefining Healthcare: From Pills to Prowess through Lifestyle Medicine,’ featuring thought leaders Dr Mark Horowitz, Prof Nicholas Zwar, and Dr Tetyana Rocks.

Delegates also had the opportunity to network and collaborate, sparking new ideas and partnerships that will undoubtedly shape the future of health and wellbeing. Additionally, we had a wide range of abstracts, and daily opportunities for guided movement.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all attendees, presenters, and sponsors who made this event a resounding success. Your passion and dedication to Lifestyle Medicine continue to inspire us all.
