Empowering Health through Lifestyle Medicine: The Essential Guide for Preventing and Managing Chronic Disease is an evidenced-based health discipline for use by anyone in the healthcare profession including clinicians and public health and for those researching illness prevention and chronic disease management to improve health research practice and patient outcomes. Combining the best available research with personal insights and experience and using the Lifestyle Medicine 6 pillar framework, the book engages readers not only in the description and efficacy of LM but also in the knowledge, concepts and behaviors to better prevent and manage nutrition, physical activity, stress, mental health as well our interaction with the environment for a healthier, happier life. This is a book should encourage clinicians to engage their patients more often and more practically with lifestyle medicine, and consumers to better engage with their clinicians, and to more effectively self-manage their own health in preventing and managing lifestyle-related illness for life.
