Our Purpose:
The International Board of Lifestyle Medicine (IBLM) sets and maintains standards for assessment and credentialing of physicians and PhD/Masters level health professionals in Lifestyle Medicine globally. We exist to:

• Prevent, arrest and reverse chronic disease through LM interventions
• Give patients a choice of care and reduce medical utilization costs, on a global basis
• Educate interested physicians, health and allied health professionals
• Set a common standard/language for LM protocols globally
• Differentiate between the evidence based LM professionals and the non-evidence based LM practitioners
• Set an international LM benchmark
• Coordinate the certification efforts of the continental LM organizations
• Co-issue LM certifications (together with the regional LM organizations) and thus provide a globally recognized “seal of approval”
