At Lifestyle Medicine Institute (LMI), we believe that true health and well-being are achieved by addressing the root causes of illness and promoting sustainable lifestyle changes. Our approach is grounded in evidence-based lifestyle medicine, emphasizing the critical role of nutrition, physical activity, stress management, and social connections in preventing and reversing chronic diseases. We focus on addressing the root causes of illness rather than just relying on medication, which often comes with side effects, increased costs, and other complications.

Discover the journey of passion, perseverance, and purpose behind the institute.
Dr. Kaite’s journey began long before he stepped into the bustling Emergency Department of a tertiary-level hospital in Zambia. Growing up in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, he was immersed in a community that championed the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
Treating emergencies felt like endlessly mopping a flooded floor without addressing the source of the leak. Determined to make a profound difference, Dr. Kaite pursued a Master of Social and Public Policy.
Lifestyle Medicine illuminated the path he had been searching for—combining medical expertise with preventive care. This was the turning point in his mission to fight chronic diseases at their root.
Together with his father, John Kaite, the institute was founded to champion holistic health. Their journey serves as an inspiring narrative of hope, vision, and transformation.
