Since 2023, LifeSource Systems, Inc. (LSS) has partnered with the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus (BNMC) Department of Health and Well-being and has sponsored the Food as Medicine (FAM) programs. We believe that addressing food as a social determinant of health through public health food and nutrition programs alongside community partners will bring us closer to achieving health equity. Our goal is to educate community members about the importance of:
• Optimal Nutrition
• Physical Activity
• Restorative Sleep
• Stress Management
• Community Connectedness
• Risky Substance Avoidance (https://lifestylemedicine.org/…)
These pillars aim to empower individuals to make lifestyle changes that can eliminate the root causes of diseases. (https://lifestylemedicine.org/…) Our 5th Annual Food as Medicine Symposium took place at the University of Buffalo Jacob School of Medicine on October 23, 24, and 25, 2025. Our growing local Food as Medicine community once again had the opportunity to meet and hear from national and international leaders in the field.
