This presentation will explain why a whole foods plant-based diet, moderate exercise, stress management techniques, and love/social support are so beneficial in treating and preventing a wide variety of chronic diseases. They share common biological mechanisms which, in turn, are directly influenced to what we eat, how we respond to stress, how much exercise we have, and how much love and social support we experience. The health policy implications of this will also be explored.
This workshop will be recorded for later viewing and shared for limited time with all enrolled students.
An author of 7 bestselling books, Dean Ornish, MD, is founder and president of the nonprofit Preventive Medicine Research Institute and Ornish Lifestyle Medicine, and Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCSF. He directed groundbreaking randomized trials showing, for the first time, that lifestyle changes often reverse many chronic diseases, without drugs or surgery. Medicare created a new category to cover his program for reversing heart disease. He was recognized as a “TIME 100 Innovator;” a University of California, Berkeley, “National Public Health Hero;” a New Yorker cartoon and two Jeopardy answers; and by Forbes as “one of the world’s seven most powerful teachers.”
