This individualised approach to health and well-being is founded on principals of lifestyle medicine, where diet and lifestyle are recognised as modifiable factors for therapeutic consideration. A newly published pilot study by <a href=\"https:\/\/irispublishers.com\/ojcam\/pdf\/OJCAM.MS.ID.000637.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harris and Benbow<\/a>, in April 2021 (2), highlights the effectiveness of NT as an evidence-based therapy for health and lifestyle improvements using the Working Alliance Inventory-Short Revised (WAI-SR) and a symptom-specific outcome measure, Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile 2 (MYMOP2) as validated measures. Results from 55 subjects suggest NT practice is effective in reducing client symptoms and improving health and activity, and that this may be further facilitated by a strong therapist and client working relationship. Whilst larger scale studies are necessary, these preliminary results are testament to the satisfactory outcomes that can be achieved with a personalised NT and lifestyle medicine approach.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/admin.peamailer.com\/t\/ViewEmail\/r\/957CA6B4B7528D822540EF23F30FEDED\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to access the full eblast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BANT welcomes the British Journal of General Practice (BJGP) May 4th article on lifestyle medicine (1) and is encouraged by the acknowledgement of well-informed drivers validating this movement. \u201cThere are numerous drivers for lifestyle medicine.
