Improving Women's Health Across the Lifespan Summary

Improving Women's Health Across the Lifespan by Michelle Tollefson

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.

Aligned with content of the ACLM Women's Health/Pregnancy Online CME that is being developed.

Improving Women's Health Across the Lifespan Reviews

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.
Elizabeth Pegg Frates, MD, DipABLM, FACLM, President Elect of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine

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.
Wayne S. Dysinger, MD, MPH, Physician, Founder and Chair, Lifestyle Medical

Lifestyle factors have a powerful role in chronic disease prevention, underscoring the profound control we have over our health. Improving Women's Health Across the Lifespan applies lifestyle medicine to women's health, empowering women and their clinicians with the tools to transform their lives, and fostering a legacy of health for future generations.
JoAnn E. Manson, MD, MPH, DrPH, Professor of Medicine and the Michael and Lee Bell Professor of Women's Health, Harvard Medical School Chief, Division of Preventive Medicine Brigham and Women's Hospital, Professor, Harvard Chan School of Public Health
