While extensively studied in adults, its application in pediatrics remains underexplored. Given that many chronic diseases originate in early life, establishing the foundations of Pediatric Lifestyle Medicine is essential. Methods: This paper presents a comprehensive literature review and clinical insights to assess the evidence supporting Pediatric Lifestyle Medicine and provide age-appropriate, evidence-based guidelines for children and adolescents. Results: Pediatric Lifestyle Medicine is an evidence-based healthcare discipline focused on promoting and maintaining children\u2019s health by encouraging healthy habits from an early age. This approach prevents chronic diseases, supports physical and emotional well-being, and fosters long-term quality of life. Findings show that applying its principles in childhood can prevent obesity, improve mental health, and aid in disease management, while also reducing the risk of adult-onset conditions and benefiting planetary health. Pediatric Lifestyle Medicine is based on six pillars: preventive nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, positive social connections, and risk prevention, the last of which includes toxin avoidance and other childhood-specific risks, such as accident prevention and screen overuse. Conclusions: Pediatric Lifestyle Medicine provides a cost-effective, evidence-based framework for improving childhood health and preventing chronic conditions. Integrating these principles into pediatric care can foster lifelong health benefits, emphasizing the need for further research and implementation in medical education.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children12030304","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,28]],"date-time":"2025-02-28T04:28:18Z","timestamp":1740716898000},"page":"304","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Foundations of Pediatric Lifestyle Medicine"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9175-9458","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marina","family":"Ga\u00ednza-Lein","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Pediatr\u00eda, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Austral de Chile, Independencia 631, Valdivia 5110566, Chile"},{"name":"Diplomado en Medicina del Estilo de Vida Infantil, Sembrando Salud, Valdivia 5110683, Chile"},{"name":"Facultad de Medicina, Universidad de Chile, Santiago 8380453, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"363","DOI":"10.1177\/1559827618759992","article-title":"What Is Lifestyle Medicine?","volume":"12","author":"Guthrie","year":"2018","journal-title":"Am.
