Building on the groundbreaking work Lifestyle Medicine (2016), this
unique new book bridges the gap between theory and practice by
providing detailed information on the real-world development and
creation of a Lifestyle Medicine Center, whether independently or
as part of an established medical program or department. Part one
sets the stage by establishing the rationale for creating a
Lifestyle Medicine Center as well as the medical and economic
burden it seeks to alleviate. The construction of the physical
facility and all of the myriad details of the program and its key
players are covered in part two, from the structural to the
aesthetic, including informatics, developing patient resources and
education tools, current technologies and applications, the role of
the dietitian and exercise physiologist, inpatient consultation,
the importance of community engagement, and more. Part three is
comprised of case studies of existing, successful Lifestyle
Medicine Centers across the country, with detailed descriptions of
their history, development, programs and challenges. Chapters are
supported with plentiful figures, tables and useful links. The
burden of chronic disease in the U.S. and globally is growing, with
pervasive direct and indirect multi-scale adverse effects on health
and well-being, economics, and quality of life. Notwithstanding the
remarkable progress in biomedical technology, the role of lifestyle
medicine in managing chronic disease in a preventive care model is
paramount; however, the relevant and effective education in
lifestyle medicine is lacking. Translating the theory into action
steps, instantiated by case studies with critical interpretations
and problem-solving tools, Creating a Lifestyle Medicine Center is
the go-to resource for family and primary care physicians, internal
medicine physicians, and all clinical specialties interested in
planning and developing a lifestyle medicine program.
