Preventive medicine specialists in the United States usually work in public health institutions. There are some who get certified in lifestyle medicine and provide individual care focusing on emphasizing lifestyle choices that prevent illness. Some specialize in occupational medicine treating work related illnesses. If you are interested and motivated to change lifestyle choices to prevent disease, then consider some one who has certification in lifestyle medicine. I hope this helps.
Preventive (adj.), not preventative (n.)
