"Can Lifestyle Changes Reverse Alzheimer's Disease? Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. Bruce Miller, and Dr. Joel Kramer are directing the first randomized controlled trial to determine if the progression of early stage Alzheimer's disease may be reversed by a comprehensive lifestyle medicine program, without drugs, devices, or surgery. This lifestyle medicine program includes a whole foods low-fat, low-sugar plant-based diet;moderate exercise; stress management techniques including meditation; and psychosocial support."

"Galileo is a website (designed by UC San Diego Design Lab) where people design and run their own experiments with their community. Anyone curious about their lifestyle and health can use this website; No prior knowledge is needed as the website guides people through the different steps of creating an experiment. After creating their experiment, people can it reviewed from two members who'll help them improve their experiment. Finally, people can invite others to participate in their experiment and begin it for a week when sufficient people join their experiment. By comparing their experiences an experiment, people provide researchers cues to build associations between lifestyle and health."

Lab100 gives patients a comprehensive health risk assessment and biometric screening. The goal is to empower patients to track their health over time and to learn how their behavior and lifestyle are impacting their health in a very tangible way.

"The future of health begins with you The All of Us Research Program is a historic effort to gather data from one million or more people living in the United States to accelerate research and improve health. By taking into account individual differences in lifestyle, environment, and biology, researchers will uncover paths toward delivering precision medicine."

American Nutrition Association The Genomics of Obesity Sharon Hausman-Cohen, MD The modernization of our society has contributed to higher rates of obesity through an environment that promotes increased caloric intake and decreased physical activity. However, recent studies suggest that genetics may contribute to 40-70% of obesity with the discovery of more than 50 genes that are strongly associated with obesity. Changes in the environment have significantly increased obesity rates over the last 20 years, and the presence or absence of genetic factors can protect us from or predispose us to obesity in conjunction with diet and lifestyle factors that support healthy weight. In this webinar, Dr. Hausman-Cohen will * Describe how the leptin pathway is interrelated to the functions of genes in the hypothalamus, as well as how inflammation, fat absorption and insulin can contribute to obesity. * Discuss how specific food intake can be linked to obesity risk and how weight loss can be individualized based on a patient's genomics. * Attain practical ways of discussing various obesity interventions and patterns with patients - whether or not practitioners have access to patient genomic data.

I met Tahir Bhatti during my Ornish Lifestyle Medicine transformation at Jacobs Medical Center UCSD. Tahir would sub into our support group whenever Ozzie Gontang was traveling. He is a great teacher. "Holistic Healers, Wellness Coaches, and Life-partners, Tahir Bhatti & Ayesha Suneja  have spent the last 20 years researching, teaching and guiding others towards mind-body-spirit healing, transpersonal wellness and spiritual growth.   Originally from India and Pakistan, both Ayesha and Tahir were raised in cultures that naturally cultivated spirituality, meditation and holistic healing practices.   Their passion for integrating spirituality into their clinical work led them to further their studies in Eastern philosophy, meditation, soul consciousness and self-realization.   Due to their exposure to ancient Eastern philosophies at a young age and their extensive training in Western Medicine & Psychology, their eclectic studies are balanced in the Sciences and the Ancient Truths.     By integrating both philosophies Tahir and Ayesha have created a blend of Eastern and Western Coaching Practices that is truly unique."

Everyone ages at different rates. Our "true age" (also called "biological age") depends on how much inflammation we encounter in our lifestyle and environment, combining with our genetics. True age represents our capacity for resilience, in tolerating and recovering from these life stresses. By increasing this resilience, we could even get younger in true age! It requires frequent tracking of biomarkers like heart rate variability (HRV).

"An infrared sauna is a type of sauna that uses light to create heat. This type of sauna is sometimes called a far-infrared sauna - "far" describes where the infrared waves fall on the light spectrum. A traditional sauna uses heat to warm the air, which in turn warms your body. An infrared sauna heats your body directly without warming the air around you."
