A Family Physician's Introduction to Lifestyle Medicine Supplement Published in Journal of Family Practice
The urgent need to treat the root cause of lifestyle-related chronic disease led to the creation of this supplement. The goal is to provide family physicians with information on all aspects of Lifestyle Medicine.
Rather than a comprehensive dive, the supplement offers:
introductory information on the definition of Lifestyle Medicine’s 6 pillars;
how Lifestyle Medicine delivery is influenced by key determinants of health;
how Lifestyle Medicine is being used to prevent, treat, and sometimes reverse multiple types of chronic disease;
a peek into the current practice of Lifestyle Medicine;
and what the future holds in education and policy.
