During the American College of Lifestyle Medicine's (ACLM) 2024 annual conference, Nathan Pritikin, founder of Pritikin, was honored as the 2024 ACLM Lifetime Achievement Award winner. After attending the full event, I took some time to reflect on Nathan's legacy and in the process, noted how his vision continues to lead the lifestyle medicine conversation.
