Despite the evidence and clear value of adopting healthy living medicine as a primary component of healthcare delivery, much of the world, particularly the United States, has remained mired in a secondary, reactive model, where unhealthy lifestyles and chronic disease are often allowed to run rampant before healthcare management is initiated. I was recently at a scientific meeting where a fellow attendee stated that our scientific writing would benefit from new perspectives and approaches, with a hope of resonating with audiences on a different level and hopefully facilitating meaningful change that has previously not been realized. This comment inspired me to consider science fiction as an approach to illustrate a real-life health crisis faced by humanity. There is an important non-fiction component to the science fiction story presented herein-unhealthy lifestyle behaviors have a substantial negative impact on human resiliency and, if drastic measures are not taken, these behaviors may in fact drive humanity to a tipping point from which we will not recover.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"15598276251326064"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11897989/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143626303","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}

Participants (n = 720) were low-income adults referred through Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), who participated in weekly 90-120 minute groups for 3 months. Data were collected via monthly surveys, including the PHQ-9, GAD-7, UCLA 3-item loneliness, exercise as a vital sign, a 2-item dietary screener, and 3 qualitative questions.Results: Participants saw significant reductions in depression, anxiety, and isolation, and significant increases in daily servings of fruits and vegetables, and weekly minutes of exercise. The qualitative analysis identified 4 themes related to the drivers and reinforcers of positive behavior change and improved mental well-being.Conclusions: Initial data suggest this model helps reduce depression, anxiety, and isolation, and promotes positive behavior change within populations most impacted by health inequity. Qualitative results identified drivers of positive change, such as creating a sense of belonging and mutual support. Future research should consider how to continue to scale this program to a variety of populations and across different settings.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"15598276251321453"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11871580/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143544013","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}

Main Outcomes and Measures: Evidence demonstrates that plant-based diets reduce the prevalence of chronic diseases, including heart disease and type 2 diabetes, alleviate environmental harm by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and water usage, and promote health equity by increasing access to affordable, nutritious foods. Quantitative outcomes include projected savings of trillions of dollars in health care and climate-related costs and the prevention of millions of premature deaths globally. Results: Transitioning to plant-forward food systems has been associated with a reduction in chronic disease risk by up to 90%, a significant decrease in health care expenditures, and a 75% reduction in agricultural land use. Key interventions, such as produce prescriptions and plant-based meal programs, demonstrate the effectiveness of systemic solutions in improving health outcomes while addressing structural inequities. Conclusion: Aligning individual and collective efforts toward sustainable, health-focused food systems presents a transformative opportunity to improve global health, conserve natural resources, and foster social equity. By adopting plant-based diets and supporting equitable food policies, individuals, health care professionals, and policymakers can collaboratively create a more resilient, sustainable, and just future for generations to come.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"15598276251323249"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11863192/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143524864","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 inventory was evaluated in 3 sequential studies to test: (a) face validity, (b) convergent validity, and (c) predictive validity. Expert judgment, correlational analyses, and factor analyses were techniques applied to collected WCI data.Results: After statistical evaluation (n = 261) of fit to each dimension, the WCI was shortened to 20 items that demonstrated convergent validity. Further use of confirmatory factor analyses and exploratory structural equation model in a large sample study (n = 531) provided additional support for the inventory's convergent validity. Through correlation analyses to theoretically related concepts predictive validity was established.Conclusions: The WCI is a valid, applicable, and reliable scale for use in HWC research and practice. It is an instrument that will aid HWC practitioners and researchers as a central outcome measure for their practice.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"15598276251320573"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11843568/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143484399","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}

Integrating LM content into health professions education, such as doctor of occupational and physical therapy programs, is critically important to empower future clinicians to adequately implement therapeutic lifestyle interventions to improve their patient's health outcomes. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine Partial Academic Pathway was developed to facilitate the integration of LM content into health professions programs. In this article, we describe the Partial Academic Pathway pilot, which began in the fall of 2022 and concluded in the fall of 2023. In addition, we describe the role of two health professions, occupational therapy and physical therapy, in health promotion and management of lifestyle-related conditions. Finally, we provide an example of how LM competencies were implemented into a doctor of physical therapy curriculum. As the students learning about LM enter the workforce, they have the potential to support their patients' health through therapeutic lifestyle interventions while reducing healthcare costs and improving patient satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"15598276251321418"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11840824/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143484333","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}

Food literacy, the knowledge and skillset to make informed health behaviors, has been identified as a critical influence in disease prevention. This mixed-method experimental study evaluated the Food Literacy Boot Camp's effectiveness, feasibility, and likeability in promoting healthy lifestyle choices, including diet, physical activity, food preparation, and food safety skills among adolescents. Outcomes were assessed using the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education (EFNEP) 6th - 12th Grade EFNEP Youth Questionnaire, distributed before and after the intervention. Qualitative methods assessed likeability. Following the program, participants had statistically significant improvements in sugar-sweetened beverage intake (P = 0.004), healthy eating choices when dining out (P = 0.002), physical activity (P = 0.010), hand washing (P = 0.028), inclination to wash fruits and vegetables (P = 0.008) and using separate cutting boards for raw meats and fresh produce (P = 0.046). Four major qualitative themes emerged: (1) Comprehensive Health and Wellness Education, (2) Practical Skill Development, (3) Knowledge and Behavior Change, and (4) Successful Student Engagement and Positive Endorsement. Overall, the Food Literacy Boot Camp successfully improved participants' food literacy skills.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"15598276251319254"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11826820/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143434092","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}
