The first edition of the ''Lifestyle Medicine'' book, edited by James Rippe, MD, coined the term "lifestyle medicine" in 1999. The book defined lifestyle medicine as "the integration of lifestyle practices into the modern practice of medicine both to lower the risk factors for chronic disease and/or, if disease is already present, serve as an adjunct in its therapy. Lifestyle medicine brings together sound, scientific evidence in diverse health-related fields to assist the clinician in the process of not only treating disease but also promoting good health."<ref>Rippe JM, ed.

An article in The Permanente Journal indicates that "More than 80% of chronic conditions could be avoided through the adoption of healthy lifestyle recommendations."[1]An original investigation in JAMA Internal Medicine (2020) indicates that "Various healthy lifestyle profiles appear to be associated with extended gains in life lived without type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, and cancer." The authors go onto say that "Of the 16 different lifestyle profiles studied, all 4 that were associated with the longest disease-free life span included a BMI [Body Mass Index] less than 25 and at least 2 of the following health behaviours: never smoking, physical activity, and moderate alcohol consumption."[2]

What is Lifestyle Medicine?[edit | edit source]

The first edition of the Lifestyle Medicine book, edited by James Rippe, MD, coined the term "lifestyle medicine" in 1999. The book defined lifestyle medicine as

  • "he integration of lifestyle practices into the modern practice of medicine both to lower the risk factors for chronic disease and/or, if disease is already present, serve as an adjunct in its therapy. Lifestyle medicine brings together sound, scientific evidence in diverse health-related fields to assist the clinician in the process of not only treating disease but also promoting good health."[3]
  • "The use of evidence-based lifestyle therapeutic approaches, such as a predominantly whole food, plant-based diet, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substance use, and other non-drug modalities to treat, oftentimes, reverse and prevent the lifestyle-related, chronic disease that's all too prevalent."[4]
  • "The application of environmental, behavioural, medical and motivational principles to the management of lifestyle-related health problems in a clinical setting" and further added in the third edition that lifestyle medicine also includes "self-care and self-management."[5]
