The Australian Journal of General Practice (AJGP), the peer-reviewed journal of the RACGP, provides evidence-based, articulate information to Australian general practitioners. This edition aims to help practitioners: 

• describe a basic structure for the discipline of lifestyle medicine.
• outline evidence-based clinical lifestyle interventions in the management of mental illnesses and physical chronic diseases.
• discuss the advantages of programmed shared medical appointments for managing chronic diseases. 
• summarise current approaches to chronic non-cancer pain management and explore areas of specificity and overlap with chronic conditions.
