Lifestyle Redesign®

Lifestyle Redesign® is the process of acquiring health-promoting habits and routines based on an underlying occupational science foundation. Principles such as occupational self-analysis, module structure, and group process are integral components to the process.

We offer a variety of Lifestyle Redesign® programs and services including:

USC Lifestyle Redesign® Weight Loss Program

Optimal Living with MS Team
Lifestyle Redesign® in Assisted Living
Office Lifestyle Redesign® - creating a healthy work life
Life Coaching

The Lifestyle Redesign® approach draws from a variety of strategies identified in evidence-based literature relevant to the specific area being addressed. The USC Well Elderly Study demonstrated that Lifestyle Redesign® can enhance the health and quality of life for older adults and reduce health care costs (Clark, et al., 1999).
