Lifestyle is Medicine™
Hi, I am Dr. Polina Sayess.
I am Dr. Polina Sayess, a Family Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine Board Certified physician. I offer private telehealth consultations for patients in Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont specializing in acute and preventive care, managing chronic medical conditions, and lifestyle medicine.
I have successfully integrated lifestyle medicine principles into my patient care, and I'm confident I can do the same for you. Let me show you how lifestyle prescriptions can transform your health.
Lifestyle Medicine
We have had remarkable advances in the care we can provide as medical professionals, but the best medicine is prevention via a healthy lifestyle.
Studies have shown that those who eat healthily and move regularly have better sleep patterns, less anxiety and depression, more energy, and less risk for chronic disease.
Lifestyle medicine is the key to unlocking a healthier and more fulfilling life —it starts with the seven pillars of lifestyle medicine.
