Unlike previous technologies, AI has the capability to perform tasks previously considered uniquely human including synthesizing historical information and data to establish a clinical diagnosis and constructing a treatment plan. AI promises to improve diagnostic accuracy, accelerate drug discovery and development, and enhance access to healthcare. The overall impact that AI will have on the well-being of individuals who provide and receive care, however, is less obvious. This article examines the potential and pitfalls of AI in medicine through the lens of mattering and its importance to human flourishing. Mattering is a psychological construct that encompasses the human needs to be noticed, feel significant, and contribute. It arises from interpersonal interactions and is based on perceptions of our value within our communities and society. Mattering is inherently relational, is a significant contributor to psychological well-being, and may be at risk in the age of AI. The authors describe the foundations of mattering and its relevance to medicine; the potential impacts of AI on mattering in medicine from the clinician, patient, and trainee perspectives; and propose a framework for integrating AI into healthcare such that mattering is preserved for all stakeholders.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"15598276261496843"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13675409/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149217223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Minority children are disproportionately impacted by physical and mental health conditions. Nutrition and exercise can enhance growth and improve stress coping ability. However, middle and high school students in the United States receive less than 8 hours of nutrition education per year. Nutrition is also under-emphasized in medical education. The \"Engage with Wellness\" lifestyle medicine curriculum sought to increase adolescents' health knowledge and improve attitudes towards healthy habits through a medical student-created and -taught curriculum. Setting. The program took place weekly at a community-based after-school program for teenagers mainly from Nepal and Bhutan. Intervention. After 30 weeks, participants evaluated aspects of the curriculum on a Likert scale and with free-text responses. Outcomes. The program had 74 unique participants. The average number of classes attended was 5 (range 1-10). Students rated the helpfulness of class topics as 4.38/5. Most strongly agreed that healthy foods come from different cultures (4.69/5). Most agreed that the curriculum prepared them well to understand nutrition (3.96/5). Lessons Learned. The program enhanced participants' knowledge and attitudes toward healthy habits while addressing the need for diversity in nutrition education. Medical students translated medical knowledge into age-appropriate information and learned how to be effective educators.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"15598276261497957"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13661811/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149185173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although firefighter health research has traditionally emphasized acute injury, sudden cardiac events, toxic exposures, and psychological trauma, less attention has been given to the broader lifestyle patterns through which chronic risk accumulates in both volunteer and career firefighters. This conceptual review argues that firefighter lifestyle should be understood as a men's health issue shaped not only by individual behavior, but also by masculinity-linked role expectations, peer culture, organizational support, stigma, and the perceived legitimacy of self-care. The MANifest Health Theory is proposed as a useful framework for interpreting these dynamics because it centers the interaction of identity, social role, environment, and preventive health behavior. The FANTASTIC Lifestyle Assessment is further proposed as a practical multidimensional tool for operationalizing firefighter lifestyle within this framework. This paper advances a firefighter-specific conceptual model and outlines implications for research, prevention, and nurse-led men's health practice.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"15598276261494576"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13655273/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149171148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study design included targeted questions from a validated electronic questionnaire which was administered to a convenience sample of nursing and dietetics students across four university campus sites located in a region with high NCD burden. Descriptive, Chi-square, and binary logistic regression analyses were used to examine ordinally or dichotomously coded demographic, knowledge, and attitude variables for frequencies, likelihood associations, and predictors. Sixty-eight percent (n = 202) indicated likelihood. Females were more likely than males to respond affirmatively (χ2 = 4.56, P = 0.03), and students with higher knowledge scores were more likely to advise on health benefits of plant-based diets than those with lower scores (χ2 = 4.48, P = 0.03). Gender and knowledge emerged as significant predictors. These findings demonstrate that the likelihood for nursing and dietetics students to advise patients on the benefits of predominantly plant-based diets in noncommunicable chronic disease care is high.

Despite these concerns, interventions for this population rarely target overall health and wellness and often rely on practices that can contribute to poor health outcomes. This retrospective review includes data collected at The Center for Discovery, a residential care program for people with severe and complex disabilities. This analysis evaluates health outcomes among 295 adults with I/DD, including autism, who received a comprehensive lifestyle medicine intervention. Prevalence rates of chronic conditions among those receiving the intervention were compared to national and New York State disability benchmarks. Results suggest an association with substantially lower prevalence of key conditions, including obesity, diabetes, and hypertension, with a median risk ratio of 0.325 (range: 0.23-0.76) compared to U.S. population benchmarks. These findings suggest that participation in an integrated lifestyle medicine model, SynergE6® Healthspan Model, could be associated with lower chronic disease prevalence among adults with I/DD.

The program included weekly yoga and meditation sessions and monthly nutrition and cooking classes. Dietary behavior was assessed using an adapted 10-item Healthy Eating Assessment, mental health symptoms using the PHQ-4, and physical activity using frequency items from the IPAQ Short Form.Results: The adapted dietary assessment total increased from 28.9 to 39.7 points (mean change +10.8, 95% CI [8.4, 13.2]; P < .001). PHQ-4 total decreased by 0.9 points but was not statistically significant (95% CI [-1.9, 0.1]; P = .080).
