She conducts workshops on using personality strengths to reach these goals. She is board certified in Preventive Medicine and Internal Medicine, completed a Psychiatry fellowship, and is a national leader in the Lifestyle Medicine movement. Lifestyle Medicine promotes healthy living not only to prevent, but also treat, chronic diseases.

She currently serves as the Immediate Past President of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and a consultant with the American College of Preventive Medicine (ACPM).

Dr. Lianov’s personality preferences best match ENFP—the group whose motto is “squeeze the most out of life.” She is an active artist in her community—working with oils, pastels and mixed media. Her energy and source of happiness is engaging with others about their life goals and exploring new places across the globe. Her physical activity of choice is briskly walking in serene outdoor settings. Her favorite fruit is the raspberry (such a decadent flavor!) and her favorite vegetable is the roasted red bell pepper.
