Reihe: Lifestyle Medicine

Lifestyle medicine is a practice which adopts evidence-based lifestyle interventions as a primary modality to prevent, treat, and reverse chronic diseases. The six main pillars of this specialty include physical activity, nutrition, stress resilience, cessation or risk reduction of substance use, quality sleep, and connectivity. Lifestyle Psychiatry: Through the Lens of Behavioral Medicine is grounded in the same pillars, drawing upon theories, methods, and empirical findings from health psychology and behavioral medicine.

Lifestyle psychiatry is a rapidly emerging area within healthcare informed by rigorous research within the social and biological sciences, public health, and medicine. A volume in the Lifestyle Medicine series, this book uses a comprehensive biopsychosocial approach to prevent and treat psychiatric disorders and promote mental and physical well-being through evidence-based lifestyle interventions.

Features:

- Draws upon theories, methods, and empirical findings from health psychology and behavioral medicine

- Provides evidence-based research on the bi-directionality of mental and physical health

- Addresses fundamental neuroscience concepts and applies them to practical aspects of lifestyle practices, mental health, and brain health

Appropriate for clinicians, primary care physicians, and those practicing in specialized areas, the information in this book provides users with practical tools to help explain, prevent, and treat psychiatric disorders and associated maladaptive health behaviors in patients.

Christopher P. Fagundes, PhD



Dr. Christopher Fagundes is a health psychologist and tenured professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Rice University. He uses theories and methods from clinical, social, and developmental psychology to examine how interpersonal relationships, loss, and trauma impact the molecular and cellular processes associated with diseases of older adulthood in diverse populations (e.g., cardiovascular disease, stroke, age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer's disease & related dementias). He also develops and tests mechanism-focused interventions that target behavioral, psychological, and interpersonal processes underlying quality of life, age-related cognitive decline, and diseases of older adulthood. His grant portfolio includes longitudinal studies and clinical trials, which aim to improve the health and well-being of dementia family caregivers, cognitively impaired older adults, and recent widow(er)s. Over the last half-decade, he has been awarded over 10 million dollars in funding for his research (mainly from the National Institutes of Health). He has authored over 130 publications and is on the editorial board for Psychological Science and Psychoneuroendocrinology. He has been the primary mentor for numerous National Institutes of Health training fellowships for graduate students (F31), post-doctoral fellows (F32), and assistant professors (K awards). Dr. Fagundes is an elected fellow of the Academy of Behavioral Medicine Research, the leading honorary organization for scientists working at the interface of behavior and medicine.
