A paradigm shift is happening in health. Researchers have recognized that changing lifestyle behavior – diet, exercise, sleep and stress – leads to a healthier life.

Dr. James Lebret, Mount Sinai Internist and Lifestyle Medicine Physician, discusses how altering lifestyle behavior in the domains of diet, exercise, sleep and stress can lead to a longer, healthier life and shares the most important actions for maximum health and longevity.

Dr. James Lebret believes in empowering his patients to be partners, personalizing wellness and treatment plans to the individual as a whole rather than focusing on symptoms alone. He employs lifestyle – exercise, nutrition, connectedness, sleep and stress reduction – as the five pillars of disease prevention and reversal. By providing personalized care he hopes to develop and maintain long term partnerships with patients.

To stay healthy, James follows a whole food plant based diet, practices yoga, and follows a resistance training program. In his free time he enjoys spending time with his children and is currently in denial about sleep being the fourth pillar of health. He earned his undergraduate degree from Cornell University, completed medical school at the primary care-centric University of Minnesota and residency at Weill Cornell New York Presbyterian Hospital. He is board certified in internal medicine and lifestyle medicine.
