In this issue we again bring you Q&A interviews with our ALMA committee members, providing you
with the opportunity to meet them and find out more about their interest and involvement in ALMA.

Interview with Associate Professor John Stevens

How long have you been a member of ALMA?
I was one of the founding members and first Vice President.

What made you get involved with ALMA/join the committee?
I was working as an academic at Southern Cross University heading up the Department of Nursing
and Health Care Practices which included introducing a post graduate program in health science to the university. As a result I
worked closely with Prof. Garry Egger as we developed the first ever Master program in Lifestyle Medicine. Setting up ALMA
seemed an obvious extension of Garry Eggers work, in particular, and a way of stimulating networking, professional development
and research in this newly established area of scholarship. The more I learned about LM the more I came to see it as a real culture
changing solution to tackle the growing global issues of illness prevention, chronic disease and ageing well. Apart from the
altruistic imperatives it was great fun working with a mob of people with similar values and a sense of fun and adventure.

What is your role within ALMA?
Currently I hold the office of treasurer. My wife laughs knowing how poorly I manage the finances at home. I am also working
with others to develop conference and CPD activities that will be of interest to ALMA members and networks.

What do you do outside of ALMA?
I remain as an adjunct Associate Professor at SCU. I am also Director of the Australian Musculo-Skeletal Network (AMSN). AMSN
is an organisation aimed at providing networking and continuing professional development opportunities for practitioners who
provide Musculo-Skeletal care. Medical Doctors, Physiotherapists, Chiropractors, Osteopaths, Exercise Physiologists, Podiatrists,
Nutritionists etc. For all the information view us at www.amsn.com.au. I also provide consulting services in health education and
research through the newly developed consulting firm called Health Education Research Services (HERS). I have a large Brady
bunch-style family and occasionally get out for a kayak and wilderness adventure.

What is something new in lifestyle medicine that is taking your interest at the moment?
One of the ALMA Initiatives I am working on is developing and researching Shared Medical Appointments (SMA) with Garry Egger
at the moment (www.lifestylemedicine.com.au/initiatives/shared-medical-appointments). SMAs appear to be potentially the most
exciting change to the practice of primary health care since Medicare was established. SMA is a one on one consultation with a
primary health provider (at this stage the GP) in a group. The research from overseas shows improvements in a wide range of
health, performance and financial outcomes which includes decreased health system utilisation in the long term. We are focussing
specifically on people with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 but the SMA lends itself to a wide range of patient groups and health care
settings. The results we are seeing in provider and patient satisfaction and implied health outcomes has us extremely excited by
just how effective SMA could be in changing the way chronic disease is manage in Australia. As the Health care provider gets to
spend a lot more time with patients in the group setting it lends itself as the perfect vehicle to deliver more Lifestyle Medicine to
the community.
Your favourite quote?
Attributed to Frederick Nietche : whatever does not kill you makes you stronger. Possibly not the best quote for someone
interested in chronic disease.
John is an Associate Professor at Southern Cross University based in Northern NSW near Byron Bay. John is the Director of
Enterprise and runs a unit for SCU that focusses on Professional Development especially among the Health Professions. John has
also been a registered nurse and is a Health Sociologist with strong interest in issues related to ageing well. He has published
over 40 articles and a book on Dementia. John is motivated to provide professional development to enhance the skills of
clinicians in order to improve the well-being of the community. He is committed to, and excited by, ALMA as he sees it as an
organisation that has unlimited potential to improve the practice of health professionals who will in turn positively affect the
health and well-being of the entire community.

Lifestyle Medicine Wellbeing Program for Health Professionals - Banish burnout, survive stress and build resilience with Dr
Caroline West

Addressing issues around Doctor Wellbeing has never been more timely. A 2013 Beyond Blue survey of 14,000 Australian doctors
and medical students has shown they suffer with greater levels of psychological distress, burnout and even suicidal thoughts than
the general population.

The Lifestyle Medicine Wellbeing Program encourages health professionals to value their own physical and mental wellbeing.
Lifestyle anchors of nutrition, sleep, exercise and relationships are central. The role of our modern inflammatory lifestyle is
explored. Upskilling with specific stress management tools including Mindfulness meditation is included in interactive sessions.
Designed specifically for doctors and allied health professionals, the workshops aim to provide practical strategies for stress
management and self-care. Participants will be encouraged to develop an understanding and awareness of their own individual
wellness needs. Practical skills in mindfulness medication are also incorporated to enhance stress management.

Workshops are delivered in an interactive and supportive environment to upskill with other professionals.

For more information and to book your Lifestyle Medicine Wellbeing Program Event hosted by Dr Caroline West, give me a call on
0414 726 773 or send me an email to ceo@lifestylemedicine.com.au.

Book Review: Ancient Grains
Author: Catherine Saxelby
RRP: $34.99
There is now a significant body of
evidence showing the benefits of eating
more wholegrains, with higher intakes
shown to help with weight management,
insulin sensitivity and reducing the risk of
type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease
and bowel cancer.
However many people are not familiar
with the wide range of wholegrains
available and how to prepare them and
turn them into tasty meals.
Written by well-known nutritionist Catherine Saxelby, Ancient Grains: Whole-
food recipes for the Modern Table" includes more than 200 pages of
information and recipes featuring 23 types of ancient grains, including amaranth,
barley, buckwheat, chia, millet, oats, quinoa, rye, sorghum and different varieties
of wheat, rice and corn.
The initial section of the book discusses the health benefits of grains followed by
an ancient grains directory, discussing each of the grains in detail including their
history, nutritional benefits, and how to prepare and use them in your meals. The
remainder of the book offers more than 100 delicious recipes, including
vegetarian, vegan, low-GI and gluten-free options.
The recipes are broken into categories including Breakfast & Brunch, Breads &
Baked Goods, Soups & Starters, Main Courses, Side Dishes & Salads and Desserts.

The Age of Anxiety?
Dr Garry Egger
Depression is said to be the common cold of the psyche. But anxiety probably fits this role better. (Depression is more the
psychological equivalent of influenza). Clinicians see variants of anxiety daily; ranging from general anxiety disorder (GAD) at one
end of the scale, to the obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCDs), and extreme phobias at the other. You may think this is purely a
genetic problem. So what does it have to do with lifestyle?
This was a question asked by Dr Jean Twenge, a psychologist from Case Western Reserve University in the US in 2001, when she
questioned the status quo of the day, which suggested that anxiety was only influenced by genetics and the family environment. In
a meta-analysis of all studies done on anxiety levels in college students from 1952 to 1993, Twenge showed that anxiety levels
increased dramatically over this time. At the end of the period, the average college student was more anxious than 85% of the
population at the beginning of it. To show this was not just confined to college students, she also studied changes in children and
found that by the late 1980s, the average American child was more anxious than child psychiatric patients in the 1950s. In
confirming this has an environmental basis, Twenge then statistically associated a range of factors, from an increase in the general
feeling of threat (from crime, war, disease etc), to breakdown of social connectedness, with increased anxiety levels. Interestingly,
economic conditions (worry about job, income etc) had no measurable impact on anxiety levels.
British economist-come-epidemiologist Professor Richard Wilkinson recently picked up on this in his seminal book The Spirit Level
in which he showed that ill-health and social problems are almost always worse in societies that are more unequal. In the US for
example, the income differential between the richest and poorest 20% of the population is around 9 to 1. It scores worst in a list of
the 20 wealthiest countries on just about all health and social indices. Japan, Norway and Sweden, on the other hand have
differentials closer to 3 to 1, and they typically score best. There is a clear gradient in all 20 countries, with Australia and the UK
towards the US end of the scale. Wilkinson proposes anxiety levels - from lack of trust, social breakdown and fear - as an
influencing factor in this gradient. But if it is such an environmental issue, what can be done about it?
There are two extremes that need to be managed, and this is where lifestyle medicine provides a link.
At the macro level, issues of inequality such as huge executive payouts and unlimited corporate power need to be dealt
with if trust in the community one of the key factors associated negatively with anxiety is to be increased, or indeed
restored to 1950s levels.
At the other extreme, clinicians have been left to manage anxiety with very little pharmacopeia. Because patients suffering
anxiety are, by definition, still trying to cope, this is often not reported in a consultation. Its not until the end stage, or
depression, when the patient has given up trying, that he or she becomes prepared to admit s/he has a problem.
Treatment of the OCDs involves behavioural practices and principles that are the bread and butter of psychology. The extreme
phobias usually require specialist care, but GAD is something that can be managed at the primary care level. Recognising that this
is an environmental issue, generally involving threat to ones person in one way or another, can help with treatment. Understanding
that anxiety is usually anticipatory - about a feared event that rarely happens, is another revelation (As Mark Twain once said: My
life has been full of catastrophes, most of which have never happened.)
Because worry is ubiquitous in GAD, ways of dealing with this should be considered. Getting the patient to fill out a worry diary
for example, and then going back and checking anticipated concerns with actual outcomes at a later time, illustrate how it is the
worry per se, which is rewarded when the anticipated event doesnt happen. Fear of flying for example, can actually be increased
when the plane doesnt crash, because the anxiety is conditioned to the event not happening, and therefore is thought likely to
prevent it happening in the future. As Erica Jong once said in The Fear of Flying it is her fear that keeps the plane in the air.

GAD does have a genetic component and individuals/families can range
along a scale from extreme anxiety to extreme hardiness. But
according to Richard Wilkinson, the fact that economic growth has
done its job in affluent societies like Australia, means that we are now
beginning to pay the price for over-shooting the drive to be
comfortable and secure. This is not likely to go away in the near future,
so expect to see more cases of GAD in the future. But dont forget the
lifestyle and environmental influences precipitating this.


A Resilient brain is a high functioning brain aim for resilience and enjoy success!
Resilience is the ability to positively adapt to past or current adversity.
There are 2 types of resilience when it comes to the brain:
1) Physical resilience
2) Psychological resilience

Physical resilience occurs in your brain cells after they experience a healthy stress like exercise, learning, or the right foods. This
healthy stress causes the brain to get stronger and tougher to stress hormones. So when your brain experiences a stress at work, it
is able to handle it better because it has trained for it! Psychological resilience is made easier when your brain is more physically
resilient. It allows your brain to better regulate your emotions.

Better regulation and improved resilience leads to:
- Better relationships
- General happiness
- The makings of a leader
- Better problem solving
- Better attention and focus
Your brain and body respond to the environment in which they are placed. They
will always adapt handle the situation with the tools they are given. Factors that
determine if your body and mind will bounce back from adversity are all part of
the Ring of Resilience (coined by Cam McDonald).
The important aspect of Resilience versus depression is simple: Resilience is learning and growing from an experience through a
process of rest and recovery. Just like training a muscle, it is placed under stress, it rests/recovers and then it is stronger 2 days
later. However, if you give the muscle no rest, it doesnt have a chance to recover and will actually start to deteriorate.
We know now that those people who endure a greater amount of mental or physical stress have smaller brain volumes. Just like a
muscle that wastes away with no recovery, the brain cells do the same thing.
Whats the moral to the story? Your brain (and all the other tissues in your body), if given the right kind of stress and an
appropriate amount of rest, will become stronger and be better each day at handling your mental and emotional load. This is
called, Resilience!
