LM26 — The Nature of Health: Lifestyle Medicine Pillars in Practice is the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine’s international conference at Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, from 13 to 15 November 2026. Friday is the workshop day, followed by two conference days on Saturday and Sunday. The organiser explicitly states that registration is now closed; the meeting remains documented for its ongoing scientific programme, but no active registration offer is presented.
Evidence-based lifestyle care. LM26 explores implementation of the six pillars of Lifestyle Medicine, with a particular emphasis on green and blue spaces, social connection and nature-based interventions. It is designed for general practitioners, primary healthcare professionals, medical specialists, researchers, educators and health-system leaders. The official programme connects preventive care, chronic disease management, health coaching and multidisciplinary practice with practical tools for everyday consultations.
Workshops and clinical application. Friday’s published timetable includes precision lifestyle medicine with Dr Cam McDonald, coaching in time-poor consultations with Sharon Curtain, and breastfeeding and lactation support with Dr Pamela Douglas. The Culinary Medicine Masterclass, led by Dr Joanna McMillan and Associate Professor Emma Stirling, combines theory and hands-on practical work addressing Mediterranean-style eating and type 2 diabetes management. Morning theory and practical sessions run at 9:00–10:30 AM and 11:00 AM–12:30 PM, with a repeated afternoon masterclass. This activity requires a separate AUD 65 ticket and is not included in standard Friday workshop registration. All published workshop descriptions, rooms, speakers and times are retained in the indexed three-day programme.
Faculty. The organiser publishes an extensive multidisciplinary speaker roster. It includes Dr Clea Alexander, founder of Resonance Lifestyle and a GP, Lifestyle Medicine physician and accredited health coach; Carla Anderson, clinical psychologist and founder of the Perinatal, Child and Family Hub; Mark Anns, health psychologist and founder of Psych & Lifestyle; Simon Ashley, founder and CEO of ATUNE Health Centres; and Dr Lena Attebo, GP and founder of Oracle Healthcare. Official biographies and available portraits are preserved, without assigning unverified LinkedIn identities.
Participation, CPD and fees. Attendance is in person. The organiser says sessions will be recorded for attendees and that a live stream may not be available, so later recordings are not treated as hybrid participation. Registration inclusions specify an electronic certificate of attendance for CPD purposes, not a quantified accredited credit award. The fee table is explicitly in AUD excluding GST. Historical final three-day prices are AUD 995 for ASLM members, AUD 1,395 for non-members and AUD 555 for student members; two-day and one-day categories are separate. Because registration is closed, these are contextual historical prices rather than current bookable offers.
Partners and submissions. The official partner list identifies James Cook University as Gold Sponsor, with Silver, Bronze and Association Supporter tiers and Tasmanian Government support. The complete visible partner roster is recorded with authentic logos. Abstract submissions closed on 30 April 2026 at 11:59 PM as stated by the organiser; no expired open call is displayed.
