This authoritative book is an essential resource for physicians, public health practitioners, health coaches, medical students, and policymakers seeking practical tools and scientific insights to bridge the gap between research and real-world health outcomes.

Chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and certain cancers remain the leading causes of preventable death worldwide. Lifestyle Medicine provides a comprehensive roadmap for transforming how healthcare systems and professionals address these conditions — by focusing on nutrition, physical activity, stress management, sleep health, substance use, and social connection as powerful medical tools.

This book critically examines the current state of lifestyle medicine research and identifies where gaps persist between what science shows and what is implemented in everyday practice. It highlights real-world challenges in promoting behavior change and overcoming barriers within healthcare systems, communities, and individual mindsets.

With contributions from leading experts, Lifestyle Medicine presents innovative strategies for integrating lifestyle interventions into clinical practice, medical education, and public health policy. Readers will find practical frameworks for patient counseling, interdisciplinary care, community programs, and policy advocacy aimed at creating healthier environments.

Case studies, best practice models, and evidence-based guidelines help practitioners apply lifestyle medicine principles in diverse settings — from hospitals and clinics to schools and workplaces. The book also explores how technology, digital health tools, and personalized care plans can strengthen patient engagement and support long-term, sustainable health behavior change.
