We launched Revive Lifestyle Medicine in 2017 hoping there was a growing number of people interested in what we as medical professionals were envisioning: Shifting the focus of healthcare away from primarily treating only the symptoms of disease and instead enabling wellness by addressing the lifestyle choices that are so often responsible for chronic ill-health. We opened our doors with just 50 referrals and thanks to the steadfast determination of our deeply caring team, we have now been able to serve more than 10,000 referrals! The response to our approach has been incredibly positive and serves as a powerful affirmation of what we knew intuitively: People do want to live healthier, more satisfying lives. We are truly proud of what we have accomplished so far and it makes us very excited to start this next chapter of our story. While our commitment to our patients will remain as strong as ever, we are excited to announce that we have completely transformed our name, our brand, and our website! And so we warmly welcome you to Aroga Lifestyle Medicine.

Why Aroga? (uhh-row-gah) It is a single word that perfectly captures what we are all about. In the ancient language of Sanskrit in India, the word “roga” means disease, infirmity, and sickness. But the simple addition of the “a” prefix at the beginning is similar to adding the “un” prefix in English. In Sanskrit, “aroga” came to mean much more than just the absence of illness. It means total wellbeing consisting of a healthy mind, body, heart, and soul. And that is truly what we are all about! It embodies our vision for healthcare.

The New Aroga Website: Built with YOU in Mind

You’ll notice two main categories of people we work with: For You is just that—for any individual who wants to embark on a journey of healing and better health. For Business is where we reach people through employers who understand how an investment in the health and well-being of their employees results in win-win outcomes for everyone involved.

Everyone we work with can expect the same high quality of care and services based on a holistic framework built around six primary pillars of our practice:

NUTRITION: Eat a plant-based, whole food diet that is guided by a strategy that trains your body to crave what heals it.

EXERCISE: Get active and move your body with an exercise plan tailored to your specific needs and activities you enjoy.

MINDFULNESS: Learn how to reduce stress and relax your mind by finding what rejuvenates you. This is the kind of self-care that brings a sense of calm and balance to your life.

LOVE & SUPPORT: Live with love by building meaningful connections that boost health instead of the loneliness and isolation that reduce overall well-being.

SLEEP: When you sleep better, everything in life is not only easier but more enjoyable.

SUBSTANCE CONTROL: While many have resigned themselves to a life of dependence on medications and risky substances, our approach is designed to achieve overall health without them.

When all six pillars are integrated into a holistic action plan for you, the result will be steady progress toward optimal health and well-being. This is our vision for every patient we work with.

You’ll find a lot to explore on the brand-new Aroga website, including the latest research about the kinds of chronic conditions lifestyle medicine is designed to reverse and prevent, success stories from our clients and our doctors, and a collection of recipes that exemplify our nutritional philosophy.

As you explore, we hope you’ll take a moment to drop us a line and let us know what you think of our new brand and our new website. We look forward to hearing from you and working with you to achieve better health and well-being!
