Lifestyle Medicine in Action

 David L. Katz, MD, MPH Let's Not Eat Our Children's Food!
The U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee for 2015 issued what I consider to be a truly stellar, 572-page report. As I write this, the period for public comment has closed- after nearly 30,000 comments were logged. We now wait to see how the diaphanous determinations of public health science survive the rough and tumble of political horse-trading.
In a departure from all prior reports issued by Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committees in the U.S., the committee for 2015 decided to address the sustainability of our diets. Because this is a new topic, there is some feeble basis to say maybe it doesn't belong here. But feeble it is; of course it belongs here.
The reason to address sustainability now, and not before now, is because now we know it is in peril. An analogy may make the case, if it is not immediately self-evident. We may, heretofore, have been bemused to think of the earth as a titanic cruise ship, offering an endless buffet- with food and drink selected and consumed accordingly. Transition to crowded lifeboats, however, and the same passengers are indisputably obligated to look at water and food supplies quite differently. There can be no attention to nutrition that ignores the relevant supply. Consider how absurd it would be for, say, a preventive medicine specialist in such a lifeboat to insist that he get the optimal nutrition to which he is accustomed, and rationing be damned!

Planning Committee Chair, Lifestyle Medicine 2015
It's a privilege to serve as chair of the Planning Committee for ACLM's Lifestyle Medicine 2015 conference, with this year's not-to-be-missed event set for November 1-4, 2015 in Music City USA, Nashville, TN.
As we countdown to the June 15th expiration of our Early Bird registration discount, it's hard to believe that spring is nearly over. The days are getting longer, although there's still never enough time to accomplish all that needs to be done. I find this to be particularly true in the burgeoning field of Lifestyle Medicine. If you're reading this, you have likely already come to the conclusion that the only way to reverse the epidemics of obesity and chronic disease is via comprehensive lifestyle change on a population level. And, if you're like me, you've probably wondered how you can possibly escape the traditional seven minute visit, with the patient leaving your office with nothing more than a pharmaceutical prescription and a three-month follow up. The good news is that there is a true transformation of health care emerging that goes beyond the ACA and insurance reform: Lifestyle Medicine is at the forefront.
All the more reason I want to urge you to attend the CME accredited Lifestyle Medicine 2015 - an event which has doubled in attendance each of the past four years. This year's event will be headlined by ACLM President David Katz, MD, MPH, recently named to the top 25 of the 100 Most Influential People in Health & Fitness.
