Lifestyle Medicine in Action
February 2014 |
The President's Report Liana Lianov, MD, MPH
Hello Fellow ACLM Members! In late February I will be completing my term as ACLM president. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve in this capacity and to work with such a passionate group of colleagues. It is this dedication and passion that has boosted the organization's success. Our membership continues to grow steadily and we are on track for another successful conference this fall. Together with our partners we are developing a strategic plan for promoting lifestyle medicine across the spectrum of health care and creating demand for lifestyle medicine by the public.
We can turn around our nation's health, economy and security through successful implementation of lifestyle medicine at the clinical level and partnership with public health to ensure environments supportive of health living. I envision even more growth and exciting developments for ACLM's future as Dr. David Katz steps up to the presidency.
I dedicate this President's Desk to providing a summary of the lifestyle medicine standards.
DEFINITION OF LIFESTYLE MEDICINE Lifestyle Medicine (LM) is the use of evidence-based lifestyle interventions to treat and prevent lifestyle-related diseases in a clinical setting. It empowers individuals with the knowledge and life skills to make effective behavior changes that address the underlying causes of disease.
LIFESTYLE MEDICINE INTERVENTION GUIDELINES
Lifestyle medicine is based on scientific evidence that the body will heal itself when the factors which cause disease are removed. The goal of a lifestyle medicine intervention is to replace unhealthy behaviors with behaviors that promote health. A wide variety of health promoting behaviors have been successfully used in the treatment of lifestyle diseases; but most lifestyle-related diseases benefit from a few lifestyle behavior changes. These include, but are not limited to:
- Optimum nutrition
- Physical activity
- Stress management
- Tobacco cessation
- Improved interpersonal relationships

A New Generation of Lifestyle Medicine Pioneers
Ingrid Edshteyn, DO 
Chair, Professionals in Training
"Treating the Cause" increasingly resonates with healthcare professionals in training and a strong call is audible for change in clinical education. Students and residents nationwide, from California to Massachusetts, are taking action by bridging the gap from treating consequences to focusing on upstream determinants of health. They look toward Lifestyle Medicine as a guide on this pioneering journey.
Loma Linda University School of Medicine:
The Preventive and Lifestyle Medicine Interest Group was developed from the school's long-standing commitment to education and its promotion of healthy lifestyle choices for the prevention and treatment of disease. The programs included a GoVege (Vegan) Week, Journal Club, Community Health Talks, and a Lifestyle Focus Newsletter.
Harvard Medical School:
This Lifestyle Medicine Interest Group has been closely linked with the Institute of Lifestyle Medicine in sponsoring events and a Lunchtime Lecture series. The purpose, as envisioned by student leader Derek Stenquist, is to "empower the next generation of physicians to tackle lifestyle-related illness in an effort to reduce morbidity and mortality" from preventable disease.
Stanford University School of Medicine:
Stanford students facilitate an interactive lifestyle medicine lecture series, with the vision of aspiring physicians to promote a culture of health and wellness in patients; the invited leading experts discuss the diversity of what comprises "lifestyle": motivational interviewing, meditation, nutrition, exercise, sleep and mindfulness.
The Professionals in Training group is proud to have such enthusiastic and visionary young clinicians "thinking globally and acting locally". Our expanding ranks compelled us to create ACLM's first Professionals in Training Executive Board: six Vice Presidents have been newly elected to represent ACLM's trainees. We welcome your comments, membership and further dialogue: [email protected].
