Lifestyle medicine is “…the application of environmental, behavioural, medical and motivational principles to the management of lifestyle related health problems in a clinical setting” (Egger, Binns and Rossner, 2008). It involves the therapeutic use of lifestyle interventions in the management of disease.
Lifestyle medicine represents a different approach to dealing with the significant proportion of patients with ailments caused predominantly by lifestyle, now presenting to health care practitioners. Managing these problems changes the emphasis from conventional treatment to one where the patient needs to be more involved in his or her care, and which therefore requires considerable knowledge and skills in motivation on the part of the clinician. New developments in health funding, involving allied health professionals as part of a health care ‘team’, now make this not only financially feasible, but necessary for dealing with the changes in disease aetiology, associated with our modern way of life.
