Lifestyle Medicine and Obesity Medicine | Ingrid Edshteyn, DO, MPH, DipABLM
The first unit provides a review of the epidemiology, determinants and assessments, and evaluation for weight management in a lifestyle medicine practice. The second unit reviews the three main components of weight management within clinical practice: nutrition, physical activity, and behavior change. Increased counseling and integrated care delivery models for weight management will improve the success of weight management programs and ultimately reduce the burden of disease seen in overweight patients.

Ingrid Edshteyn, DO, MPH, DipABLM Medical Director, Valia Lifestyle
Dr. Ingrid’s academic studies in cognitive science, eastern philosophy, and osteopathic medicine come together in her role as the Founder and Medical Director at Valia Lifestyle. Her passion for wellness originated in 2004, when Dr. Ingrid established Cornell University’s Meditation & Yoga Club and when she served as President of Cornell's Seven Spirits Kung Fu organization. She saw directly the power of cultivating strength and health for both the body and the mind with these traditions. Her course of study continued to medical school and residency training in Preventive Medicine, when she simultaneously earned her Executive Masters in Public Health from Columbia University's Mailman School. She now holds two additional Board Certifications, as a Diplomate of the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine and of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. Exploring and integrating the varied elements of wellness and fitness is her passion.
Dr. Ingrid is fortunate to share her love for lifestyle as medicine in her work with the Valia Lifestyle Strength & Conditioning Coaches, crafting unique programs for empowering body and mind.
