Stroke has both physical and psychological impact on the lives of stroke survivors. Lifestyle modifications have a pivotal role in post-stroke management care. The Paving the Path to Wellness Program (PPWP) is a 12-week program offered to stroke survivors at Spaulding Rehabilitation Center following discharge. The program encompasses the following domains: physical activity, nutrition, stress management, time-outs, energy, sleep, purpose, and social connections. Objective: The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the PPWP on the recovery of stroke survivors. Methods: Three stroke survivors who participated in the program were interviewed following completion of the program. Results: The results showed the PPWP had a positive impact on physical health (e.g., increased physical activity, weight loss, nutrition awareness, and better stress management); helped to create a new purpose (e.g., happiness, satisfaction, and well-being); and improved the social life of the participants (better awareness and importance of friends and family). Conclusions: Next steps are to study this program in a larger stroke population and examine long-term effects.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139006949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In three separate 4-week pilot studies, participants engaged in twice-daily, 10-minute biofeedback sessions, with self-assessed reductions in anxiety and pain levels using the 6-item State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-6) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), respectively, in Studies 2 and 3. Among these 113 (Study 2) and 237 (Study 3) biofeedback sessions, 81 (∼72%) and 130 (∼55%) showed reductions in pain, while 93 (∼82%) and 184 (∼78%) experienced reductions in anxiety. A positive relationship was found between anxiety and pain reduction, indicating that larger reductions in anxiety correspond to larger reductions in pain. In Study 1, only anxiety reductions were measured: across 143 biofeedback sessions, 127 experienced reductions in anxiety (∼89%). Participants in all studies demonstrated reductions in baseline to final results in pain, anxiety, and showed increases in satisfaction and recovery. Our results provide strong evidence that portable biofeedback devices can enhance pain management programs by helping to alleviate anxiety and pain in individuals living with chronic conditions. This study can provide a basis for the integration of biofeedback devices into the expanding research of lifestyle and integrative medicine.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139007864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Coaches reported a mean hourly salary of $40.30 (SD = 22.23), and 26.2% of coaches reported an annual income from coaching of $50,000 or more. A higher proportion of full-time coaches reported earning over $50,000 annually (55.9% vs 8.1%); however, part-time coaches had a higher mean hourly wage in non-private practice settings ($46.25 vs $34.62). No differences were found regarding client fee per hour in private practice between part-time ($96.61) and full-time ($99.93) coaches. Coaches who manage other coaches, work in corporate/employee wellness, and have higher average weekly caseloads were likelier to report an annual income of $50,000 or more. Moreover, coaches working at a digital health company made less per hour. In contrast, coaches at corporate/employee wellness programs and coaches targeting women earned higher hourly salaries. The findings identify trends among coaches about salary. Recognizing these trends provides an opportunity to expand efforts to standardize the profession and advance diversity.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138592331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Physical activity (PA) has positive effects on mental health. PA referral may be an option to utilize PA in university mental healthcare. However, clinicians’ perceptions and capacity of PA referral need to be established before implementation. Methods: Using a qualitative descriptive design, 14 licensed mental health professionals across seven southern universities participated in semi-structured virtual interviews to explore perceptions of prescribing PA to patients and referring patients to a PA specialist. Results: Thematic analysis revealed professionals perceived PA to be important for mental health, support prescribing PA to patients, face barriers to prescribing PA, professionals support referring patients to a PA specialist, and professionals face barriers referring to a PA specialist. Conclusions: Professionals agreed that PA was important for mental health and referring to a PA specialist would be the most feasible strategy to incorporate PA in their therapeutic work for patients struggling with physical inactivity and mental health. Future studies should investigate a PA referral system's implementation within university counseling centers and how this system can affect the mental health and PA of college students seeking mental health treatment.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138591553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An overwhelming body of scientific and medical literature supports this contention. Thousands of studies support the concept that regular physical activity, healthy nutrition and maintaining a healthy body weight, not smoking cigarettes, obtaining healthy sleep, reducing stress and maintaining positive connections with other individuals all profoundly impact on health. The scientific literature the supports the health impact of these daily habits and actions is underscored by its incorporation into virtually every evidence-based clinical guideline in the area of metabolic diseases. Thus, the scientific basis for lifestyle medicine rests on an enormous body of evidence-based literature. The key issue in lifestyle medicine is to provide an overall framework where these studies, which are often spread over scientific literature in multiple disciplines, can be made accessible to the medical community and to the public at large. This is the essence of the field of lifestyle medicine. The academic basis of lifestyle medicine is robust and needs to be emphasized by all practitioners of lifestyle medicine.

Methods: A cross-sectional study with data analysis of older patients treated in an Outpatient Hearing Health Service accredited to the Unified Health System. Older people aged 60 years and over who attended the Health Service to begin adaptation in the study. The audiological evaluation was performed through Tonal and Vocal Audiometry exams, the auditory rehabilitation process was done using the Individual Sound Amplification Device, and eating habits based on the Dietary Guide for the Brazilian Population. Results: The sample included (n = 654) participants, aged between 60 and 97 years. The type of hearing loss revealed a higher prevalence of sensorineural of moderate degree. Individuals with higher consumption of tea, non-fatty meats, rice, fish, and fruits presented better hearing compared to participants with lower consumption of these types of foods. Conclusion: A higher consumption of foods high in anti-inflammatories and antioxidants may decrease the risk of age-related hearing loss. A higher consumption of foods high in anti-inflammatories and antioxidants may decrease 50% of the risk of age-related hearing loss. The findings also indicate the hypothesis that a pro-inflammatory diet could increase the risk of hearing loss. Antioxidants are believed to counteract the deleterious effects of reactive oxygen species and may be effective in treating diseases related to oxidative stress, including hearing loss.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138609027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adults with complete dietary survey and uric acid data were selected for the study, along with complete data on covariates about demographics, lifestyle, and history of disease. The Chinese Healthy Eating Index (CHEI) was used to reflect the quality of daily diet. The logistic regression model and weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression model were used to explore the relationship between CHEI score and risk of HUA. WQS regression models can also further assess the contribution of the various dietary components of CHEI in reducing the risk of HUA. There was a not-significant trend in protective effect between higher CHEI scores and HUA risk in the logistic regression model. In the WQS model, higher CHEI scores showed a significant protective effect on the HUA (OR: .601,0.298-.907). Fruits, tubers, and dairy were top contributor in the protective effect of CHEI (26.81%, 14.34%, and 12.95%, respectively).

Eleven individuals (10 female, age 51.5±12.6 years) with neurological disability (7 multiple sclerosis, 3 spinal cord injury, 1 muscular dystrophy; 20.5 ± 10.6 years post-injury/diagnosis) participated. The intervention group (n = 7) received recipes for an anti-inflammatory diet and the consultation, while controls (n = 4) received the recipes only. The consultation included a home-visit involving cooking and accessible kitchen equipment demonstrations, and an accompanied trip to the grocery store. Task and barrier self-efficacy improved immediately following the consultation with trends for improvement one-month post-intervention. The consultation was also associated with increased dietary adherence one-month post-intervention and decreased depressive symptoms. Changes in dietary adherence (r = −.61; P = .045), and barrier self-efficacy (r = −.77; P = .009) were negatively correlated to changes in depression. Thus, a consultation targeted at barriers related to anti-inflammatory eating can improve self-efficacy for adherence as well as actual adherence and depressive symptomology one-month later.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139270800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
