What we’re about
This group provides learning opportunities, resources, support, and motivation for anyone on the journey to healthy nutrition and lifestyle.
Salient Lifestyle Center was established in 2021 by Ashwani Garg, M.D., Terri Dallas, M.D., and Gabriel Bardan to restore people's total well-being through evidence-based lifestyle education by providing programs and organizing events in Northwestern Chicagoland and beyond.
The literal meaning of the Latin verb "SALIENT" (future tense, third person, plural) vividly encapsulates our vision for those who graduate from our programs or attend our events: They "WILL JUMP" (as of joy), "WILL LEAP" (advance in life by leaps and bounds), and "WILL SPRING UP" (to a better life).

Fasting and the Longevity Revolution - Film Screening and Q&A with Dr. Garg
Salient Lifestyle Center, 1141 Bode Rd, Elgin, IL, USFasting and the Longevity Revolution film is a fascinating journey that takes us from California to the Andes in Ecuador, to Sardinia, Campania, and Calabria in Southern Italy, in search of the secrets of longevity.
Directed by the multiple Academy Award nominee Barry Alexander Brown and narrated by the three-time Oscar nominee Edward Norton, the documentary explores how the food industry has replaced the tobacco industry, making people age faster, with overweight and obesity making them sick and dependent on expensive drugs.
Through the insights of leading experts in nutrition, fasting, and genetics, cutting-edge scientific studies, and understanding the lifestyle of people who have demonstrated extraordinary longevity, the film describes in detail how plant-based daily eating habits and certain fasting practices can help us become healthier and live longer while staying away from hospitals and medication.
The documentary screening will be followed by a Q&A session with Dr. Ahwani Garg, M.D., a board-certified Lifestyle Medicine physician.
