Lifestyle Medicine.
Evidence-Based.
Personalized.
WholePath Lifestyle Medicine is a telehealth practice serving adults in Maryland who value thoughtful, practical, science-based lifestyle care.
Lifestyle Medicine is a medical approach that focuses on addressing the root causes of chronic disease through evidence-based changes in daily habits. Rather than relying solely on medications, it emphasizes proven lifestyle factors such as nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, social connection, and avoidance of harmful substances.
This approach is supported by a growing body of scientific evidence showing that lifestyle medicine can play a meaningful role in preventing, managing, and in some cases reversing chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.
At WholePath, lifestyle medicine is not about perfection or rigid rules. It’s about translating evidence into practical, personalized strategies that fit real life and support long-term health—working alongside your existing medical care.

Introduction
I’m Ayé Diallo, a Physician Associate certified in Lifestyle Medicine by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM), with a background in primary care, clinical research, and global health.
Over the course of my career, I’ve worked with patients managing chronic conditions, navigating complex health systems, and trying—often unsuccessfully—to make sense of conflicting health advice. What I saw repeatedly was a lack of time, continuity, and practical guidance around lifestyle factors that profoundly influence health.
My approach integrates clinical training with evidence-based lifestyle medicine principles, with an emphasis on patient education, prevention, and long-term health support- so you leave visits with clarity and a plan you can actually use.
Areas of Focus
WholePath focuses on evidence-based lifestyle approaches to health, including the six pillars of Lifestyle Medicine:
Nutrition – practical, sustainable dietary strategies

Sleep – improving sleep quality and routines
Stress Management – tools for resilience and burnout
Positive Social Connections – addressing isolation and support systems
Avoidance of Risky Substances – including tobacco and nicotine cessation
Care is individualized, thoughtful, and focused on long-term health.
