This book is very useful for anyone wishing to explore lifestyle with clients - it is organised by category so things like social connectedness have sections to explore them fully and holistically.
There are hand-outs to share with clients.
It's really worthwhile and will enhance your practice.

Lots of great physical/mental health advice given in ways that are easy to fit in with your current lifestyle. Appreciated the accessible, non-judgmental tone.

Lifestyle medicine to manage disease and maintain health is the way to go, but because of the broad and secular understanding of "lifestyle," most people don't know how to do it right, scientifically and effectively. Dr. Altug's book is a resource for correct information and a practical toolbox that should be read by professionals and patients alike.

The Lifestyle Medicine Toolbox is an easy-to-read reference book to add to my growing collection. As a holistic health practitioner, I can see myself using some of the recommendations from the book with my clients and with my family and friends.

Thanks for arc copy!

The Lifestyle Medicine Toolbox is an easy to read reference book. It has a wide range of information designed to help the health professional who wants to recommend lifestyle modifications to clients. It will be a handy resource for health coaches wanting to find evidence-based tools for a client. The chapters are short but are thoroughly researched with a long list of recommended reading. Although the topics are helpful to those in the integrative medicine field, it doesn't delve into too much depth on any particular topic. What I found particularly helpful were the handouts suitable for using with clients.

I am really excited about this book! It is formatted in a way that gives lots of great information without overwhelming. I also really love the handouts, which will be great to use with students and clients. It addresses all the main lifestyle medicine topics and even presents many not often thought about!
