LIFESTYLE & WELLNESS MEDICINE

Redefining the foundation of health and longevity.

A SMARTER WAY TO FEEL WELL

True wellness begins long before medication or procedures — it starts with how we live every day.


Dr. Carla Russo combines her expertise in Lifestyle Medicine to create personalized, realistic health strategies that align science with daily life.

​

This is medicine that listens — a conversation about your habits, your goals, and your challenges. Together, we build a plan designed to optimize energy, balance hormones, improve mood, support metabolism, and enhance longevity.

WHAT IS LIFESTYLE MEDICINE?

Lifestyle Medicine is an evidence-based specialty focused on preventing, managing, and even reversing chronic disease by addressing the root causes — the daily choices that shape our health.

​

Dr. Russo’s programs are guided by the Six Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine:

  • Nutrition – A sustainable, whole-food approach that fuels health and supports metabolism.

  • Movement – Functional, accessible activity that builds strength and supports mood.

  • Sleep – Creating patterns that restore both mind and body.

  • Stress Management – Techniques to calm the nervous system and build resilience.

  • Social Connection – Cultivating relationships that foster motivation and wellbeing.

  • Substance Moderation – Minimizing habits that interfere with long-term health.

​

By addressing these six areas, patients often experience improvements in energy, digestion, mood, weight regulation, and overall quality of life.

ADVANCED TOOLS FOR A MODERN APPROACH

Lifestyle transformation is most successful when supported by innovative, science-based technology.
Dr. Russo integrates tools that help patients better understand, measure, and strengthen their body’s natural capacity for restoration and performance.

EXOMIND™ — Advanced TMS Therapy for Mental Wellness

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared therapy that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain regions responsible for mood regulation and focus.


EXOMIND™ refines this process with advanced targeting and adaptive feedback, creating a deeply personalized treatment that enhances mental clarity, reduces anxiety, and improves emotional balance — safely and without medication.

This is precision neurotherapy — designed for individuals seeking natural, data-guided support for cognitive and emotional wellbeing.

EMSCULPT NEO Functional™ — Strength from the Core Out

EMSCULPT NEO Functional™ combines radiofrequency and HIFEM® (high-intensity focused electromagnetic) energy to build muscle, enhance circulation, and support joint stability.

​

Under Dr. Russo’s guidance, this technology is incorporated as part of a comprehensive functional wellness plan — helping patients improve core strength, posture, and movement quality while reducing musculoskeletal discomfort.

The result is not only improved tone and mobility, but a foundation of physical strength that supports your long-term wellness goals.
