In addition to highlighting clinical outcomes, Project Remission explores the implementation models making this work possible, including dedicated lifestyle medicine clinics, interprofessional care delivery teams, group visits and reimbursement strategies that support long-term sustainability. The series also includes a dedicated explainer film clarifying the clinical definition of remission in the context of T2D and how it differs from reversal and disease management, ensuring consistency with evidence-based standards. Three in-depth case studies further demonstrate how lifestyle medicine is being applied in diverse care settings to support patients in achieving remission. Together, these components reinforce ACLM’s commitment to filling the longstanding gap in lifestyle medicine education across pre-and post-professional training.

Project Remission will be available to stream beginning March 30, 2026, here.

Health professionals, policymakers, employers and members of the public are encouraged to explore the series and learn how evidence-based lifestyle medicine can transform care for individuals living with T2D.
