About Lifestyle Medicine
Lifestyle medicine is a relatively new discipline, which bridges the gap between health promotion and conventional medicine. It involves a range of health professionals working as a team to prevent, manage and treat the ~70% of modern health problems which have a lifestyle-based cause.
Lifestylemedicine.net.au provides professionals exclusive access to a suite of tools and programs that are based on the latest science with the aim of assisting in the identification, management / prevention and monitoring of lifestyle related diseases experienced by their patients. The site also provides members of the public free access to evidence based, reliable and current information along with dynamic tools and programs to support them in actively improving their quality of life.
Lifestyle medicine is defined as..."the application of environmental, behavioural, medical and motivational principles to the management of lifestyle related health problems in the clinical setting." Egger, Binns and Rossner, 2008.
