Description
This holistic guide provides an integrative toolbox on how healthcare and fitness professionals can promote lifestyle medicine with their clients. Its clinical and evidence-informed approach focuses on the six primary lifestyle medicine factors: nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene, stress management, risky substance use, and social connectedness. Each factor is enriched with a variety of strategies and advice including anti-inflammatory recipes, self-guided visualisation, tips on how to break bad habits, sustainable fitness, and mind-body exercises.
Based on the author's 30+ years of experience as a trained physical therapist treating musculoskeletal conditions, this book's nonpharmacological and nonsurgical focus allows clients to feel empowered in taking charge of their health through a plethora of resources and techniques. It provides clear, actionable steps and real-world examples in order to nurture sustainable changes that promote long-term health and healing.

I am really excited about this book! It is formatted in a way that gives lots of great information without overwhelming. I also really love the handouts, which will be great to use with students and clients. It addresses all the main lifestyle medicine topics and even presents many not often thought about!
Lifestyle medicine to manage disease and maintain health is the way to go, but because of the broad and secular understanding of "lifestyle," most people don't know how to do it right, scientifically and effectively. Dr. Altug's book is a resource for correct information and a practical toolbox that should be read by professionals and patients alike.
