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.
