“Personalized lifestyle medicine is a newly developed term
that refers to an approach to medicine in which an
individual’s health metrics from point-of-care diagnostics
are used to develop lifestyle medicine-oriented therapeutic
strategies for improving individual health outcomes in
managing chronic disease.”
- Deanna M. Minich and Jeffrey S. Bland
