Abstract
Lifestyle medicine is a growing field of medicine that addresses key health behaviors, which are the root causes of most premature death, chronic disease, and health care costs. Coaching patients with evidence-based behavior change strategies can help them to make lasting habits in key areas, such as physical activity, healthy eating, improved sleep, cessation of tobacco, forming and maintaining relationships, and stress management. Similarities in philosophy between lifestyle medicine and physical medicine and rehabilitation make them complementary and synergistic in treating the whole patient in their social context.
