Preventing and managing chronic illness often starts with the choices we make every day. At mediDental care, we offer personalized lifestyle counseling services focused on nutrition, exercise, and smoking cessation—because we believe that better health begins with better habits. Lifestyle counseling addresses key lifestyle factors such as sleep, diet, exercise, and substance use, recognizing their significant impact on health and the development of chronic diseases. Lifestyle counseling is tailored to individuals and their unique needs, ensuring that each person receives support that fits their specific situation. As your trusted partner for primary care in Astoria, our team is here to guide you with empathy, evidence, and a plan that works for you through personalized care.
Whether you’re managing diabetes, improving your heart health, or simply ready to feel your best, we’re ready to support your goals with one-on-one guidance. Lifestyle counseling empowers individuals to take control of their lives and overall well-being, helping to prevent chronic diseases and improve both mental and physical health.
Lifestyle counseling is a series of targeted conversations and coaching sessions with your primary care provider or wellness team, where providers assess and determine a person’s readiness for change. Providers assist individuals by offering targeted support and guidance to help them overcome barriers and achieve sustainable lifestyle changes. It focuses on understanding and assessing the behaviors that most affect your health—and how to change them sustainably.
Unhealthy habits contribute to many of the leading causes of illness and death in the U.S., including heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and certain cancers. By making positive changes and adopting lifestyle changes, you can reduce risk, improve energy, and live longer.
Our job is to help you make progress—not perfection—starting with small, achievable changes.
Healthy eating doesn’t mean giving up all your favorite foods—it means learning how to fuel your body effectively. Education is a key part of our nutrition counseling, helping you make informed choices and understand the impact of your habits. Our team works with you to develop a realistic eating plan that fits your life, fostering a positive attitude toward nutrition changes.
We’ll help you create a sustainable, satisfying nutrition plan to meet your goals—whether it’s lowering cholesterol, managing blood sugar, or improving digestion.
You don’t need a gym membership or intense workouts to see results. Consistency and enjoyment matter more. We help you move in ways that feel good and fit your schedule, while helping you develop healthy exercise habits.
We also address any physical conditions that may limit your movement or activity, ensuring your exercise plan is safe and effective.
Our approach focuses on developing long-term exercise routines that support your overall well-being.
Movement is medicine—and we’ll help you build it into your lifestyle.
Tobacco is one of the most preventable causes of disease and death. If you smoke or vape, it’s important to actively commit to specific goals for quitting. This commitment, supported by strategies like goal-setting and self-monitoring, greatly increases your chances of lasting success. Quitting is the single most impactful decision you can make for your health—and we’re here to support you at every step as you take action to achieve a smoke-free life.
Quitting is hard, but you don’t have to do it alone. We’ll meet you where you are and guide you forward.
