Peer-Reviewed Journal of Lifestyle Medicine to Launch

SAGE Publications a leading international publisher of journals, books, and electronic media for academic, educational, and professional markets will launch the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine (AJLM) in January 2007. This bi-monthly journal will provide commentaries and research reviews on nutrition and diet, cardiovascular disease, obesity, anxiety and depression, sleep problems, metabolic disease, and many other contemporary health issues. The journal is all about helping healthcare providers educate their patients about disease management and on how to maintain health through proper lifestyle choices. The journal will address the impact that lifestyle decisions and activities have on health and tackle the intersection between the use of traditional pharmaceutical and nutritional products and lifestyle modalities to achieve superior outcomes.

The journal will be edited by a leader in the lifestyle medicine field -- cardiologist Dr. James M. Rippe who has also put together an editorial board with extensive expertise in the disciplines covered by the journal. Given the increasing level of research in the area of lifestyle medicine, this journal will meet an important and timely need for a peer-reviewed, data-driven, professional resource covering these important issues. Healthcare providers can receive complimentary free issues of the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine by subscribing here.
