Chronic diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, and many types of cancer are among the most common, costly and preventable of all health conditions. Dysinger states it succinctly that lifestyle medicine is the application of simple, natural healing approaches to chronic disease and prevention. Content Egger refers to lifestyle medicine as the application of environmental, behavioural, medical and motivational principles to the management of lifestyle-related health problems in a clinical setting include the identification of genetic variants and/or functional biomarkers for the purpose of designing patient-specific prescriptions for diet, exercise, stress, and environment. It is worthwhile to question whether these standardized public health positioning statements are sufficient to meet the diversity of the average individual, including addressing the multitude of variables such as age, lifecycle, gender, medical history, family history, vitamin and mineral status, ethnic background(s), lifestyle habits, genetics, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), mutations, and epigenetics. Conclusion Personalized lifestyle medicine can provide solutions to chronic health problems by harnessing innovative and evolving technologies based on recent discoveries in genomics, epigenetics, systems biology, life and behavioral sciences, and diagnostics and clinical medicine. Personalized lifestyle medicine may provide a novel means of addressing a health of patient by empowering them with information they need to regain control of their health.In conjunction with being a compelling solution to the chronic disease epidemic and allowing the patient to have control of their health, lifestyle medicine therapies have been shown to be cost effective.
