Lifestyle Medicine: Overcoming Systemic and Cultural Barriers to Better, More Affordable Care
1Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA.
Abstract:
The 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine have strong scientific backing and plenty of supportive evidence to validate their integration into routine clinical practice.
