2026 MIDYEAR CONFERENCE | Philippine College of Lifestyle Medicine

Lifestyle Medicine Midyear Retreat

The Midyear Conference of the Philippine College of Lifestyle Medicine brings together clinicians, educators, and advocates for a timely and deeply human conversation on healing that goes beyond prescriptions and procedures.

This conference explores how healing happens within the individual and between people—through self-awareness, compassionate relationships, and evidence-based lifestyle interventions. Participants will examine the science and practice of self-healing, the role of interpersonal connection in recovery, and integrative approaches to acute and chronic pain management grounded in Lifestyle Medicine.

Through expert-led lectures, case discussions, and practical sessions, the conference will highlight how stress regulation, sleep, nutrition, physical activity, emotional resilience, social connection, and meaning-centered care can influence pain perception, healing capacity, and overall well-being. Emphasis is placed on trauma-informed care, patient–practitioner relationships, and culturally responsive strategies that support sustainable healing in both clinical and community settings.

Designed for physicians, allied health professionals, health coaches, educators, and students, this midyear gathering offers a space to reflect, reconnect, and renew purpose in clinical practice—recognizing that true healing is not only biological, but relational, personal, and deeply human.

Join us as we rediscover healing within ourselves, and between one another.
