Lifestyle Medicine is currently the fastest growing specialty globally. The importance of lifestyle medicine is apparent in that several major national organizations have included recommendations for lifestyle change in their guidelines for various chronic diseases. These organizations include the American Heart Association, American Cancer Society and the American Association for Clinical Endocrinologists. These guidelines address the prevention or treatment of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, yet there are few resources available that specifically address many of the needs of the women across their lifespan.
There is a growing need and interest among providers of women's health for a textbook that addresses the problems and diseases they face every day in their office with evidence-based lifestyle solutions.

This women's health book is evidence based and comprehensive. There is nothing like it. Women need up to date information about physical activity, nutrition, sleep, stress resilience, social connection and substance use. In addition, there is a desire to better understand the power of these pillars throughout a woman's life including pregnancy, menopause and the golden years. This book fills that need.

Healthy aging begins at pre-conception. Evidence overwhelmingly shows that it's we women who-through our lifestyle behavior choices-can take far greater control of our own health destinies, as well as the health destinies of our children and generations to come. We cannot underestimate the power of what we eat, how we move, and what we think in regard to our optimal health or lack thereof. This book is a must-read for all medical professionals!
Susan Benigas, Executive Director of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine
Lifestyle Medicine is the science of taking core principles and customizing how they're applied to each individual and each situation to achieve positive health behavior change. This book sets the evidence based foundation for how that process happens, and why it needs to happen, with the most important segment of health consumers - women. It is the next for all who are passionate about changing how health care is delivered.
