For so many, lifestyles are seen as unobtainable and of limited benefit.  This study proves otherwise.  This study found that lifestyle changes made in middd-life were associated with a decrease in cardiovascular disease.  Equally important, many were found to be able to implement said lifestyle changes--this flies in the face of what a lot of physicians believe.

Nice study: 52 week study looked at lifestyle intervention to lose weight in men with low T and high estrogen levels.  The lifestyle intervention was successful in lower weight and estrogen levels, but not in raising Testosterone levels.

Large study of over 3,000 adults shows lifestyle changes are more effective, than metformin, in reducing development of type II diabetes.  CRP, inflammatory marker, reduced at 1 year more in lifestyle (29%) versus metformin (14%).     And don't forget all the nutritional deficiencies that metformin creates.

I find this study a good example of the distortion in medical science.  This study looked at lifestyle changes as its effect on hormones and glucose regulation.  This study found a decrease in estrogen, decrease in DHEA, and an increase in SHBG.  However, they included metformin therapy in the lifestyle arm of the study.  What about metformin is "lifestyle"?

Despite evidence that non-smoking, normal BMI, regular exercise, high fruit/vegetable intake and low/moderate alcohol intake, less than 1% of men change lifestyle.  Translation:  many don't want health even when presented with evidence of its benefits and the means to achieve it.   This study found a decrease in cognitive decline in individuals undergoing these lifestyle changes.

new study finds that bariatric surgery outperforms lifestyle interventions in improving glucose control in obese individuals.  On the surface this seems interesting, but the lifestyle interventions were based on the Diabetes Prevention program.  The diabetes prevention program doesn't do well in glucose control in any clients (see increasing diabetes rates), so it should be no surprise that bariatric surgery outperforms a program that doesn't work

analysis of Lifestyle interventions in metabolic syndrome, diabetes, breast cancer, and prostate cancer.

Lifestyle interventions significantly reduced weight and incidence of type II Diabetes compared to metformin.  Both significantly reduced the incidence, but lifestyle interventions were more beneficial than metformin.

Amazing statistics out of UK.  The fraction of cancer attributable to lifestyle estimated to be as high as 41.2%.  The cure for cancer is prevention through lifestyle intervention.

Health lifestyle interventions reduce the incidence and mortality from cancer.

lifestyle changes more effective than metformin in Type 2 diabetes

Lifestyle interventions reduced the incidence of metabolic syndrome by 41% versus only 17% in the metformin group.

Lifestyle changes are the most effective therapy in Diabetes development.  These include, diet modification, weight loss, and exercise.

Lifestyle changes that result in weight loss can increase Total Testosterone, free Testosterone, and SHBG.

small pilot study finds that synbiotics, probiotics and prebiotics, + lifestyle modifications work better than lifestyle modifications alone in NAFLD.

lifestyle changes, including red wine, shown to improve lipids.

Lifestyle changes are more effective than metformin in Diabetes prevention in high risk individuals

Aging and sedentary lifestyle associated with muscle loss through NF-KappaB activation.

epigenetics is the key to customizing lifestyle choices to optimize health potential.  It all begins with matching nutrition with epigenetics to limit inflammation.

10% weight loss in older men, resulted in fat loss; this resulted in a decrease in estrogen production and an increase in Testosterone all via lifestyle interventions.
