There is no shortage of clinicians interested in the subject, but knowing where to start has, until now, been a challenge.

Packed with practical guidance on preventing, managing and treating lifestyle-related long-term conditions, sample scripts and assessments to trigger conversations and engagement with patients are included. With contributions from around the world, this guide is a fantastic resource to start developing the essential clinical skills necessary for the practice of Lifestyle Medicine.
