More on Lifestyle Medicine for Healthcare Professionals:
Lifestyle medicine is not integrative or functional medicine.
Founded in 2004 in the US, the American College of Lifestyle Medicine was founded as a medical professional society for physicians and other allied health professionals dedicated to clinical and worksite practice of lifestyle medicine as the foundation of a reformed and modernised health care system. Practice involves the use of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including nutrition, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, and reducing risk as well as other modalities, to treat, reverse, and prevent chronic disease. Since 2016, international and US board certification is now available in Lifestyle Medicine. There are now 14 international lifestyle medicine societies, including British Society of Lifestyle Medicine.
