Lifestyle Medicine, Second Edition
"James Rippe, MD has thoroughly catalogued the role of lifestyle in the modern practice of medicine, including both disease treatment and health promotion. … Overall this book is extremely well organized … In this second edition, Dr. Rippe boldly takes on the challenge of summarizing this growth [in the field] and the current evidence for Lifestyle Medicine in one comprehensive text. … this text is a massive contribution to the field of Lifestyle Medicine. There is nothing else that even comes close to documenting and summarizing the evidence behind Lifestyle Medicine. Because of that, this volume should be in the libraries of every policy maker and health care provider who is serious about offering Lifestyle Medicine as a core tool for their patients and communities."—Wayne Dysinger, MD, MPH, Chair, Department of Preventive Medicine, Loma Linda University, inAmerican Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, 2013
