In the past few decades, there has been a growing recognition of the crucial role that lifestyle factors, such as diet, physical activity, and stress management, play in preventing and managing a wide range of chronic diseases. Lifestyle medicine has emerged as a response to this recognition, focusing on empowering individuals and communities to adopt healthier behaviors. At the same time, there has been a resurgence of interest in traditional and natural medicine approaches, which often emphasize integrating mind-body practices, herbal remedies, and other holistic therapies. We encourage bringing together researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and other stakeholders to explore the intersection of lifestyle diseases and natural medicine and to discuss how these complementary approaches can be integrated to address the health challenges of the 21st century. For this purpose, we are organizing The 1st International Conference on Lifestyle Diseases and Natural Medicine (ICOLIFEMED), which will be held on December 5–6, 2024. The theme of ICOLIFEMED 2024 is “Integration of healthy lifestyle and natural medicine in the prevention and management of modern diseases.”
