Lisa Goodman, PhD, Health Psychologist
Lisa Goodman focuses on the intersection of lifestyle medicine and health equity, helping adults with hypertension and metabolic syndrome build sustainable routines. After piloting a clinic-based walking program that paired patients with volunteer neighbors, she documented significant improvements in adherence and mood. Her consultations combine brief cognitive strategies, sleep coaching, and meal planning that works with shift schedules rather than against them.
In collaboration with primary care teams, she has created plain-language decision aids that reduce overwhelm at diagnosis. She trains residents to ask practical questions about time, transportation, and food access, and she measures outcomes with the same rigor as any medication trial. On weekends she organizes community grocery tours that teach label reading and small, doable swaps.
