American College of Lifestyle Medicine and U.S. Space Force announce partnership to optimize service member health through lifestyle medicine | PR Newswire

The agreement, which will provide training to all Guardian Resilience Team members, marks the first enterprise-level comprehensive lifestyle medicine training program initiative within the U.S. Department of Defense.

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) and United States Space Force(USSF) have announced an innovative training partnership to enhance Space Force service members’ health and performance by providing the USSF Guardian Resilience Team (GRT) with evidence-based lifestyle medicine education, training and certification.

“The American College of Lifestyle Medicine will teach and train Guardians to implement healthy behaviors that will enhance performance, reduce disease, and improve lifelong health outcomes. This is truly a win-win partnership!”

The agreement marks the first enterprise-level comprehensive lifestyle medicine training program initiative across the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). The first new branch of the armed services since 1947, the Space Force was formed in 2019 to address the national security imperative in space and today has more than 14,000 military and civilian Guardians.

Through the agreement, ACLM will provide lifestyle medicine education, training and certification to the Space Force GRT in support of Holistic Health Approach to educate, assess and train Guardians on physical and mental fitness using science-based information and techniques. The DOD is committed to reducing the U.S. chronic disease burden on warfighter readiness.

Lifestyle medicine is a fast-growing medical specialty that uses therapeutic lifestyle interventions as a primary modality to treat chronic conditions including, but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. ACLM offers the most extensive and expanding catalog of expert-led and -created lifestyle medicine courses and curricular resources across the medical education spectrum.

“Holistic Health Approach is the public health and primary prevention capacity for the United States Space Force,” said USSF Holistic Health Approach Lead Christine E. Heit, MA. “To that end, it is important that all of our Guardian Resilience Teams (GRT) receive all of the requisite training and education so they can teach Guardians the skills, knowledge, and abilities needed to promote short- and long-term health outcomes. Partnering with the American College of Lifestyle Medicine enables us to not only meet our goal, but develop a partnership focused on positive outcomes of our service members.”

Lifestyle medicine aligns with the Space Force’s GRT goal of developing a holistic health strategy for active service members. Lifestyle medicine-certified clinicians are trained to apply evidence-based, whole-person, prescriptive lifestyle change to treat and, when used intensively, often reverse lifestyle-related chronic diseases. Applying the six pillars of lifestyle medicine—a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, positive social connections, and avoidance of risky substances—also provides effective prevention for these conditions.

“The pandemic of lifestyle-related chronic disease impacts all aspects of our nation, including the readiness and performance of the great military that protects us,” said ACLM President Padmaja Patel, MD, DipABLM, FACLM. “ACLM is proud to partner with the U.S. Space Force to ensure that the brave men and women who serve our country receive health care that provides the health and healing they deserve. Lifestyle medicine can help deliver exactly that.”

The partnership will position all eligible Space Force GRT members on the pathway to lifestyle medicine certification, completing the prerequisites and sitting for the certification exam in 2025. Since the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine started certification in 2017, almost 6,700 physicians and health professionals have become certified in lifestyle medicine.

“We have seen incredible progress with the initial adoption of lifestyle medicine within the military, yet we have a long way to go to ensure it is the standard of care for all warfighters,” said ACLM Senior Advisor for Military and Veterans Affairs Regan Stiegmann, DO, MPH, DipABLM, FACLM. “The United States Air Force and USSF have deployed a number of lifestyle medicine initiatives efforts across their branches, and we now need additional military leaders to help scale these programs to all service members who deserve a lifestyle medicine-centric approach to their health and warfighter readiness.”

The U.S. chronic disease crisis has been identified as a threat to national security. A 2022 Pentagon study found that 77 percent of young Americans wouldn’t qualify for military service without a waiver because of being overweight, having mental or physical health problems or prior history of drug use. The breadth of lifestyle and performance medicine practice has grown steadily in recent years throughout all military branches.

“Health and human performance are essential to the success of every Guardian, and the USSF,” said Director of the Air Force Medical Group Corps Colonel Valerie J. Castle, DO, MPH. “In alignment with the USSF’s Holistic Health Approach, the American College of Lifestyle Medicine will teach and train Guardians to implement healthy behaviors that will enhance performance, reduce disease, and improve lifelong health outcomes. This is truly a win-win partnership!”

McFeely: Mountain West said to be ‘considering’ NDSU as football-only member – InForum

FARGO — The FBS Mountain West Conference is reported to be considering North Dakota State as a football-only member.

The Action Network’s Brett McMurphy, a national college reporter, posted on the social media platform X on Wednesday morning that Northern Illinois, a school the Mountain West was pursuing, will likely stay in the Mid-American Conference and so the league is turning its attention to NDSU.

“Northern Illinois’ interest in Mountain West as football-only member ‘waning’ so MW now considering FCS power North Dakota State , sources told @ActionNetworkHQ,” McMurphy wrote. “If NIU stays in MAC, MW (w/8 football members) still seeking 9th football team, source said.”

NDSU athletic director Matt Larsen did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

College conference realignment has gutted the Mountain West, with several of its top members moving to the Pac-12 as traditional norms have been uprooted by schools moving to different leagues in pursuit of television rights money. The league has been looking to add schools to fill its openings.

NDSU is a member of the Football Championship Subdivision Missouri Valley Football Conference, its home since 2008. The school moved from NCAA Division II to Division I in 2004, playing in the Great West Football Conference before joining the MVFC. Most of its non-football sports are members of the Summit League, while wrestling is a member of the Big 12.

If NDSU was invited to join the Mountain West as a football-only member, and accepted, it’s not believed the cost of making the jump to the more expensive Football Bowl Subdivision would be prohibitive.

Current Mountain West football members include Colorado State, Nevada-Las Vegas, San Diego State, San Jose State, Fresno State, Hawaii, New Mexico, Wyoming, Utah State, Nevada and Air Force.

Colorado State, San Diego State, Fresno State and Utah State are leaving for the Pac-12. Texas-El Paso has since agreed to become a Mountain West member, bumping football-playing schools to eight. The league wants to get to at least nine members to play an eight-game conference schedule.

INSIDE SPORT: Shock identity revealed of MCC member banned for life for verbally abusing Aussies during the Ashes, while Luis Diaz is set to cash in on his fine form

Inside Sport can reveal the identity of the MCC member given a life ban following the astonishing scenes in the Long Room after Australia’s controversial stumping of Jonny Bairstow in last year’s Ashes.

The member in question is Henry Somerset – son of the former chief cashier of the Bank of England – and the situation has caused some embarrassment beyond the Grace Gates.

Somerset also happens to be a former captain at the upmarket Rye Golf Club in East Sussex, where ex-MCC assistant secretary Jamie Clifford is now secretary.

Well-liked Clifford is also a non-executive director at Kent, after a period as interim chairman at the county earlier this year.

Australia’s players were verbally abused as they made their way through the iconic walkway after wicketkeeper Alex Carey had stumped Bairstow when the Yorkshire batsman left his crease, mistakenly believing the ball was dead. One Aussie even claimed a kick was aimed at a team-mate.

One MCC member, Henry Somerset, was given a lifetime ban after the astonishing scenes

MCC subsequently wrote to all their members asking for help identifying the culprits who ‘brought shame’ on the club during the second Test in July 2023.

Somerset, who was charged with ‘abusive, offensive or inappropriate behaviour or language’ was one of three members suspended following a confidential disciplinary process. The other two are understood to have received less severe bans.

Meanwhile, eyebrows have been raised at MCC following the news that chair Mark Nicholas is to head overseas to commentate on the Australia versus India Test series and South Africa’s domestic Twenty20 competition this winter.

Senior members have expressed surprise that the former Hampshire batsman, who took up the reins this month after a stint as president, will depart for about six weeks at a time when various issues are swirling, including the redevelopment of Lord’s and potential taking of a ruling stake in the London Spirit franchise.

MCC insiders say they are ‘relaxed’ about the situation.

Voting on whether to accept the ECB’s offer of a 51 per cent stake in the Spirit ends today.

Diaz deals up for grabs

Following his blistering start to the season, Luis Diaz is being offered to companies for potential brand partnerships.

An email sent to major firms, seen by Inside Sport, offers Diaz for deals for the rest of 2024 and into 2025.

According to agency MN2S, the Liverpool star is available for ‘endorsements, collaborations, sponsorship opportunities and personal appearances’.

Former BBC chief’s new career

Whether she painted a pretty picture during her time at the BBC is open to debate, but former head of sport Barbara Slater is hoping to do just that in her new career.

The ex-Olympic gymnast, who stood down in spring following 14 years in the role, is also a landscape artist who last month held an exhibition as part of the Ealing Art Trail.

Slater, who goes by the name of Jane Schofield in the art world, ‘loves to create bright and cheerful pieces of art work’.

Her latest offering is based on ‘the explosion of foliage in the great trees of Richmond Park and Kew Gardens’, according to the Trail’s website.

Stoke dismay at Hurst exit

The work of Stoke City’s Community Trust has been a shining light for the faltering club since their relegation from the Premier League in 2018. So, it came as a considerable surprise when the services of long-serving community head Adrian Hurst were dispensed with by chief operating officer Simon King last month.

Hurst’s sudden departure was met with widespread dismay, not only among club staff and supporters but also local businesses who have helped finance the Trust’s many outstanding projects over the years.

Bizarre programme gaffe

Those who bought a programme for Hull’s match with Burnley last week were left bemused when the crest of none other than Blackburn Rovers – the Lancashire side’s main rival – was published above the visitors’ team.

A French member of the European Commission resigns and criticizes President von der Leyen

BRUSSELS — An influential French member of the European Union’s powerful executive branch resigned on Monday, criticizing the leadership of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen just as she tries to assemble a new team for the next five years.

Thierry Breton, a French business executive and commissioner for the EU’s vast internal market who recently clashed with tech billionaire Elon Musk, suggested that von der Leyen had gone behind his back to get another French official named in his place to the next commission.

In a post on X that contained his resignation letter to the EU’s top official, Breton said that von der Leyen’s move was “further testimony to questionable governance — I have to conclude that I can no longer exercise my duties in the College.”

The commission proposes legislation for the EU’s 27 member countries and ensures that the rules governing the world’s biggest trading bloc are respected. It’s made up of a College of Commissioners with a range of portfolios similar to those of government ministers, including agriculture, economic, competition, security and migration policy.

Breton’s surprise resignation came just 24 hours before von der Leyen was due to announce her new team to the European Parliament. The commission was scheduled to start work on Nov. 1, but speculation is rife that it might not get down to business before January.

European Commission spokeswoman Arianna Podesta said that von der Leyen had accepted Breton’s resignation and thanked him for his work during her first term. Podesta declined to comment on his very public criticism of the president’s leadership.

Within hours, President Emmanuel Macron nominated France’s foreign minister, Stéphane Séjourné, in Breton’s place. The commission couldn’t say who might take over Breton’s responsibilities, which have included efforts to expand Europe’s defense industry to make more weapons and ammunition for Ukraine.

With an eye to keeping a gender balance within the commission for her second term at the helm, von der Leyen had asked each member country to supply the name of a male and female candidate for policy commissioner. Most only proposed one candidate, often a man.

Von der Leyen, a former German defense minister, has been pressing smaller countries to change their minds. In recent weeks, a man who was the preferred candidate of the government in Slovenia withdrew and a woman was proposed in his place.

But France is no small EU country. It ranks, along with Germany, at the top of the bloc’s political heavyweights.

Von der Leyen decides which country gets which portfolio, and some of them, like those involving trade or finance or EU enlargement, are coveted by certain countries. Plum jobs like the post of vice president -– the commission has seven of these -– are also much sought after.

Breton suggested that he was a victim of these political machinations.

“A few days ago, in the very final stretch of negotiations on the composition of the future College, you asked France to withdraw my name — for personal reasons that in no instance you have discussed directly with me -– and offered, as a political trade-off, an allegedly more influential portfolio for France in the future College,” he wrote in his resignation letter.

“You will now be proposed a different candidate,” he said, without elaborating.

In any case, nothing is set in stone. The commission nominees must still pass a grilling in the European Parliament to take office.

Macron helped von der Leyen to claim one of Europe’s most coveted jobs and has consistently supported her throughout her first term in office. It’s unclear why she might risk defying the French president, if indeed she has.

Breton has irritated some in the commission with his go-it-alone approach. Acting last month without von der Leyen’s approval, he took to X to warn Musk of possible “amplification of harmful content” by broadcasting an interview with former U.S. President Donald Trump.

Musk, who owns the social media platform, posted a derogatory reply. Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung urged the EU to “mind their own business instead of trying to meddle in the U.S. presidential election.”
