The Belgian Lifestyle Medicine Organisation, founded by Ioan Hanes, MD, dedicated to bringing evidence based lifestyle medicine to the Belgian healthcare community.
Europe is a place where we can celebrate our differences, share our experiences and future aspirations, and connect around science-based yet still challenging topics. More than a conventional medical conference, this event offers an opportunity to explore not only the classical pillars of lifestyle medicine but also to broaden your perspective on emerging trends that are shaping our future and influencing our behaviours: environmental health, sexual health, artificial intelligence, and lifestyle stories through narrative medicine.
Our sessions will be delivered in several languages: French during our Longevity Session hosted by the co-founder of the Blue Zones concept, Prof. Michel Poulain; Dutch for Women’s Health with Sabine Slock, bestselling author and expert in women’s lifestyle perspectives; and English for the latest developments in European lifestyle medicine research and clinical practice.
From 10–12 September 2026 in Brussels, you will discover not only a diverse programme of topics and practical sessions presented in different languages, but also a unique opportunity to anticipate the future of modern healthcare.
