About this book
Lifestyle Medicine and the Primary Care Provider: A Practical Guide to Enabling Whole Person Care is a comprehensive and practical guide for primary care clinicians seeking to incorporate lifestyle medicine (LM) principles into their practice. Edited by Ron Stout, MD, MPH, FAAFP, FACLM; Dan Reichert, MD, FAAFP; and Rebecca Kelly, PhD, MAE, RDN, FAND with series oversight from Jim Rippe, MD, this volume offers family physicians and primary care providers a roadmap to enabling lasting health improvements for their patients through whole person, behavior-based care. Covering over 27 chapters by leading experts in the field, the book delivers evidence-based LM interventions into actionable strategies for busy practices.
Each chapter provides practical, time-efficient approaches to implementing LM in real-world settings. Emphasizing core principles like patient history, screening tools, and lab testing, this guide focuses on streamlining workflows and facilitating behavior change through team-based approaches. For practices not in integrated care models, the book outlines effective methods for collaborating with external resources, including behavioral health specialists, dietitians, social workers, and pharmacists.
Readers will find valuable insights on maximizing reimbursement for LM services, from direct virtual visits to shared medical appointments, with examples from successful best-practice models. The book also includes considerations for reimbursement strategies and policy elements that enhance LM integration. Special chapters cover innovative practice models, offering practical examples of how to navigate reimbursement for lifestyle medicine.
A volume in the Lifestyle Medicine series, this resource goes beyond theory, giving primary care providers the tools to foster sustainable lifestyle changes that support patient health and resilience. With its pragmatic approach, Lifestyle Medicine and the Primary Care Provider: A Practical Guide to Enabling Whole Person Care serves as an essential companion for clinicians dedicated to transforming primary care with whole-health solutions that meet the demands of modern practice.
