The RENEW Program (Restore and Empower through Nutrition, Exercise, and Wellness) is a monthly lifestyle medicine program offered through Sarasota Memorial Health Care System. RENEW is designed to help adults build sustainable habits that support better health, energy, and quality of life. The program focuses on three core pillars: nutrition, exercise, and wellness (including stress management and sleep behaviors). https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d59072_1a79ec17653f49dbb3b342bc942d7d48~mv2.png Rather than moving through a rigid week-by-week course, RENEW offers continuous support through professional coaching, rotating weekly spotlight topics, and practical tools that members can use at their own pace. The program adapts as your needs change, making it a flexible and realistic approach to long-term health. Go to www.smhRENEW.com/RENEW (https://www.smhRENEW.com/RENEW)to learn more.

That’s completely okay. RENEW is designed to adapt to real life. Resources remain available, spotlight topics repeat, and your coach helps you adjust rather than start over.

RENEW is ideal for adults who want to: • Improve overall health and energy • Build sustainable habits around nutrition, exercise, and wellness • Manage stress and support long-term well-being • Receive professional guidance and accountability without a rigid plan

RENEW offers nutrition, exercise, and stress management guidelines for optimal wellness. However, participants set their own individualized goals in all of the above wellness categories. This allows us to personalize the experience for each member. Weekly coaching appointments help participants identify and reach these goals. The program’s nutrition guidelines feature a Mediterranean lifestyle, which is an approach with growing interest due to its balanced and achievable structure. No foods are off-limits in this program. Instead, we implement a "treat budget system" to teach moderation around certain foods and beverages.

RENEW is structured as an ongoing membership, so you can join any time. Many members choose to stay enrolled for several months or longer to build consistency, navigate life changes, and continue receiving coaching support. Your length of participation is flexible and can be adjusted based on your goals.

$150/month (less than $40/week). RENEW is a self-pay membership program and is not currently billed through insurance. Some members may be eligible to use FSA or HSA funds. We recommend checking with your plan provider. Email us at renew@smh.com for any questions regarding program fees.
