Abstract
Lifestyle medicine (LM) is a relatively new adjunct to conventional medicine, focused on the increasing proportion of lifestyle and environmentally related chronic diseases associated with modern economic development. As such, it brings added skills and a “systems theory” approach to clinical practice, with an emphasis on patient involvement and behavior change to facilitate better long-term self-management of modern chronic diseases and conditions.
