Acknowledgments

When Dr Ifeoma Monye and Dr Adaeze Ifezulike were preparing for the first‐ever Board Certification examination in Lifestyle Medicine, in the United Kingdom, they faced a daunting task of finding suitable revision materials. As pioneers for that examination in August 2018, all candidates had the same challenge! Where to find a multiple‐choice revision book to test your knowledge of Lifestyle Medicine and aid revision?

Therefore, at the end of the examination, they decided to create a resource that future candidates for this examination and indeed other Lifestyle Medicine examinations will use to make revision easier. In the course of securing a publisher and putting together the best possible book, they invited Dr Karen Adamson, Founding Director of the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine and Dr Fraser Birrell, Founding Editor‐in‐Chief of the Wiley open access journal Lifestyle Medicine to co‐author.

We all want to thank the Chairman of the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine and now President of the World Lifestyle Medicine Council, Dr Rob Lawson for reviewing the book, providing feedback, and his support of the MCQ Book.

We are all also grateful to Dr Lilach Maleskey, President of the Israeli Association of Lifestyle Medicine for reviewing the book and making very useful suggestions which has helped enrich the final product.

We appreciate the support from Stephan Herzog, the Executive Director of the International Board of Lifestyle Medicine and the useful suggestions he provided.

Finally, we are all indebted to our families who had to put up with the disruption caused by the long hours, days, weeks, months of preparation, while we researched, wrote, edited, and proofed this book. Without your support, patience and understanding, we may not have made it this far.
