Description
As the discipline of Lifestyle Medicine has developed, it has become increasingly recognized that there are a broad range of factors that contribute to health, healing and wellbeing. Having a sense of meaning in life has emerged as a key “upstream” determinant of health and happiness. In this presentation we shall explore why meaning matters, how to foster it, and why it is imperative for “treating the cause” of chronic diseases.
Learning Objectives
- Explain and appraise upstream determinants of health
- Discuss factors that contribute to an individual’s sense of meaning
- Identify strategies for increasing an individual’s sense of meaning

Dr Darren Morton is an internationally recognized well-being researcher and educator. He is a Fellow of the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine and is certified by the International Board of Lifestyle Medicine (of which he was an item writer for the exam). He is currently a senior academic in the Lifestyle Research Centre at Avondale College of Higher Education. Darren is the author of four books and over 50 publications in scientific and medical journals. He has also made numerous media appearances and he has presented to hundreds of corporate, educational, community and academic groups around the world. He is also recipient of an Australian University teaching award. Darren is the world-expert on the “runner’s stitch” but his research interest today focuses more on pleasure than pain. Specifically, Darren is passionately interested in evidence-based approaches for optimizing human functioning and helping people live their best life. This has led him to develop wellbeing programs—including the Complete Health Improvement Program (CHIP) and The Lift Project—that are now used in over 10 countries around the world.
