As a Lifestyle Medicine Clinic, we have over the past few months added to our list of services in order to meet the needs of our amazing members wishing to better their health!
Group visit sessions have been one of the many ways we deliver health education, tools to heal the body and mind, and ways to involve our members in the community. Research shows that social isolation is more detrimental to our health than obesity or even smoking! We are definitely creatures who thrive in community, no matter how introverted you may be! But we know that many do not have a support system to lean on or people in their circle who understand the ins and outs of dealing with chronic, often invisible illnesses. Group visits solve this dilemma, as we offer a safe space to express thoughts, emotions, and personal struggles in a non-judgemental space. Group visits also teach valuable communication and social support tools, as we allow members to each have a chance to share their thoughts, while...
As a lifestyle Medicine Clinic, we take great pride in collaborating with experts in the health field, especially those who work endlessly to find solutions for those struggling with chronic, often misunderstood and misdiagnosed conditions.
Miles for Migraine is one of the many organizations we love collaborating with in our community in order to support an impactful mission. The vision for Miles for Migraine is to " create some “big noise” in the migraine community and raise awareness that migraine and headache disorders are more than “a headache.” As a Lifestyle Medicine Clinic, we know what it is like to experience chronic health issues or pain and receive no real hope for healing or change. This absolutely should not be the case. However, few practices have the tools, resources, or time to investigate new healing modalities for complex diseases.
Therefore, we love collaborating with and supporting specialists who share our...
We believe that one of the greatest missing pieces in healthcare, is providing adequate education available for patients regarding their health condition and steps to take in order to heal. Often patients feel that they are not given adequate time during their visits with conventional physicians to review important healing tools, such as background information regarding the pathology of their condition, nutrition guidance, lifestyle support, and more. They do not feel supported emotionally through the highs and lows of their healing journey as well. This has left so many patients feeling hopeless and lost in the medical system. This definitely should not be the case.
In order to provide a solution to this major downfall of the medical community, we have created an online university available for all of our patients and members who subscribe to our website. Within the online university, patients will be able to select a course related to their specific needs. For...
Here at TCLM, we strive to deliver excellent service and transform the health and lives of our patients. Our values display our high level of commitment to delivering compassionate and attentive care. Since we established Texas Center for Lifestyle Medicine in 2017, we have been continuously improving our collaborative treatment approach, which is based on patient outcomes and demands. We decided to implement health coaching as a means of meeting the needs of our patient population in order to support their healing. When we first started this model, it was very physician-focused; meaning that they provided medical care while being supported by allied health professionals and health coaches. However, through our work in the Houston community, we discovered that this traditional design does not work well.
Through receiving feedback from our patients, as well as taking a detailed look at our patient outcomes data, we realized the following: When health coaching becomes the...
Creating and maintaining healthy habits is essential for physical, mental, and emotional health. Group coaching visits can be a great way to get support while establishing healthy habits that will stick with you in the long term.

Group members have the opportunity to share their successes, struggles, and stories with one another; this helps to hold everyone accountable for their goals.
Group support also provides an opportunity to build relationships with individuals who...

What do our Transformations Programs offer?:
Community-driven programs designed by doctors and coaches who passionately guide members toward health and resiliency through education, compassionate guidance, empathy, and ongoing accountability within a safe and supportive virtual space.

In Dr. Ruan's Brain Train Group visits, participants are able to share each others' health experiences, discover valuable healing tools, receive background information regarding root causes of brain and mental health issues, and discover resources to guide them along their health journey toward improved brain function.
In the Brain Train Group Visits, Dr. Ruan brings specific medical insight into the brain and neurological conditions, while sharing a roadmap to health and wellness. However, the central aspect that sets group visits apart from one-on-one provider visits is the community aspect. In a safe, judgment-free group space, members have the opportunity to share in each other's challenges, develop mental and physical resilience, and empower one another to apply healing principles to their life. Dr. Ruan also shares his personal experiences and tools he has used in his own brain health journey, after experiencing multiple concussions and discovering an underlying sleep...
To say that we do not experience stress daily would be to deny the type of society and system we live in. However, stress does not have to rule us, rob us of our peace, or govern our responses and reactions to external triggers. Discover powerful tools in Mind-Body Medicine sessions that will help you develop your resiliency to stressful situations and control your emotional responses while learning to manage and express emotions. Patients who attend mind-body sessions in our clinic discover better ways of coping and practice consistent self-awareness, which we have seen improve their physical and mental well-being. The mind is so intricately connected to the body, so much so that it is so challenging to prevent and heal chronic illness without engaging in mindfulness practices and working on the mental aspects of healing.
Mind-Body Medicine practitioner, Geny Moreno, takes great pride in her work in guiding patients with the tools and training that she has implemented and...
