The rationale for Lifestyle Medicine certification is:

• To educate interested physicians, health and allied health professionals about Lifestyle Medicine
• To set a common standard/language for Lifestyle Medicine protocols globally
• To differentiate between the evidence-based Lifestyle Medicine professionals and the non-evidence based Lifestyle Medicine practitioners
• To set a global Lifestyle Medicine benchmark
• To attract health insurance funding for evidence-based Lifestyle Medicine (by requiring that any fund receivers be formally certified)
• to “legitimize” Lifestyle Medicine and have the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine (ABLM) certification recognize by the American Board of Medical Specialties
