Written by lifestyle medicine pioneer and cardiologist, Dr. James Rippe, this comprehensive book offers a clinically oriented, evidence-based exploration of key lifestyle factors and their prescription to individuals of all ages.

Designed for professionals working at all levels of medical and healthcare practice, this manual serves as a comprehensive guide to the major components of lifestyle medicine. It encompasses physical activity, nutrition, weight management, and the avoidance of tobacco products. It includes clinical guidelines and practices for implementing lifestyle medicine principles to lower the risk of numerous chronic conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, osteoarthritis, dementia, and many more.

In addition to its focus on chronic disease prevention, the manual provides valuable information on behavior change, approaches to lowering the risk of dementia, treatment of addictions, and injury prevention. Each chapter begins with bulleted key points and concludes with a list of clinical applications, making it an invaluable resource for practitioners seeking to integrate lifestyle medicine into their practice.
