CRC Press - Integrating Lifestyle Medicine for Diabetes

While clinical practice and educational programs often focus heavily on medications and medical procedures, there is a growing need to address the root causes of chronic conditions. Integrating Lifestyle Medicine for Prediabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, and Cardiometabolic Disease provides a necessary perspective on metabolic health. This book explores lifestyle medicine as a way to address the factors that influence an individual's health. It examines how personal choices, cultural traditions, and socioeconomic influences impact metabolic outcomes. By looking at both natural and built environments, this text offers a way to counter the current focus on medication-only approaches in chronic disease management. This resource is designed to fill the gap in current clinical trials and medical education. It offers a framework for understanding how lifestyle interventions can serve as a meaningful countermeasure for patients managing prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, and cardiometabolic disease.
