Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes

Meaning

Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) represent a structured, clinically recommended program of behavioral modifications, including dietary adjustments, increased physical activity, and stress management, designed to prevent or treat chronic health conditions. In endocrinology, TLC is the foundational, first-line intervention for conditions like metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). These changes are patient-centered, sustained, and highly effective in modulating physiological function.
