Cessation of Unhealthy Habits

Overview

Unhealthy habits, such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, overeating, or sedentary behavior, can negatively impact overall health and well-being. Breaking these habits is often challenging but essential for achieving a healthier lifestyle. At Illuminate Functional and Lifestyle Medicine, we provide personalized, evidence-based strategies to help you identify, address, and replace unhealthy behaviors with positive, sustainable choices.

What Is Habit Cessation?

Habit cessation involves identifying behaviors that harm your physical, emotional, or mental health and taking actionable steps to replace them with healthier alternatives.

This process requires a holistic approach, combining education, behavioral modification, and ongoing support to create lasting change.
