Who it is for
Information for people who want to understand this practice and its limits before deciding to take part. It does not establish an individual clinical indication.

It may help organise topics and questions, distinguishing general information from specialist interventions. Clinical nutrition and mental health require their own scope of practice.

Goals and limits of outcomes
Knowledge and informed participation are educational goals. Benefits of physical activity or sleep habits do not prove effectiveness of the entire lifestyle programme.
Limits and safety
The category should not group different clinical interventions as if they were a single specialty or promise a common outcome.
