A Message of Hope

Even in a time of confusion and misinformation about health, one truth remains clear: what we eat changes everything.

At Rochester Lifestyle Medicine Institute, we’re pressing forward with evidence, compassion, and community. Our programs help people take control of their health through the power of whole-food, plant-based nutrition — and prove that change is possible, even when the culture says otherwise.

Pressing Forward Together

The past year has been one of growth, accessibility, and innovation:

  • We simplified Jumpstart Live so anyone can participate — even with only email and Zoom.

  • We launched Jumpstart On-Demand, giving people everywhere the chance to transform their health on their own schedule.

  • We introduced Beyond Jumpstart, helping alumni maintain momentum long after their first program ends.

  • We rebranded our RLMI Community to reduce confusion and strengthen connection.

  • We opened our entire recipe library to all RLMI Community members — so everyone can discover how delicious plant-based living can be.

  • We added weekly Office Hours with RLMI experts for subscribers, giving ongoing personal support and accountability.

  • We released Lifestyle Medicine Grand Rounds recordings on YouTube to educate and inspire an even wider audience.

  • We harnessed AI and new digital tools to make our programs more responsive and personal.

  • We expanded national partnerships, demonstrating that prevention works.

But we’re just getting started. With your help, 2026 will bring broader access, stronger partnerships, and more lives transformed. Every gift, large or small, is an act of persistence, a vote for truth, science, and compassion.

Together, we can build momentum for a healthier future.
