American Academy of Family Physicians Releases Lifestyle Medicine Implementation Guide

The American Academy of Family Physicians created an implementation guide to aid physicians in incorporating the principles of Lifestyle Medicine into their practices.

Lifestyle is the Most Potent Medicine We Have

Lifestyle medicine is an evidence-based approach to prevent, treat, and reverse disease progression by replacing unhealthy behaviors with healthy ones.
Family physicians are ideally positioned to champion and prescribe lifestyle medicine and work collaboratively with community health professionals to help patients sustain healthy behaviors over time.

This practice manual provides guidance in integrating lifestyle medicine principles into everyday family medicine practice.

Ardmore Institute of Health sponsored development of these resources.
