A medical doctor by training, Dr. Peter Wettstein, is perhaps the most thought-provoking and entertaining guest I’ve ever had the pleasure of speaking to. He discusses the issues related to lifestyle medicine, the practice of medicine, and how it’s made a difference in my life.
Dr. Wettstein’s guest appearance is a good way to show off his infectious energy and enthusiasm, and I am already looking forward to the next time he speaks to me.
Dr. Wettstein is a physician, which means that he has a lot of experience and is very knowledgeable about the medical field. His medical career includes stints in private practice, academia, and government, leading to the point where he is the dean of the Harvard University School of Medicine. He is also a Harvard Medical School faculty member, which means he has many patients whom he has treated for the past few years.
Dr. Wettstein is clearly a guy that is well-qualified to provide advice, and he’s a great doctor to boot. He’s also a great friend, which is probably why I’m so fond of him. He is a really cool guy, and he has a great sense of humor. He speaks with a low-key, self-deprecating manner that makes him more likeable than a lot of people that you spend the entire time with.
As someone who has read a lot of medical journals (I was an attending physician at a large medical school before I became a doctor), he offers some interesting insights into the human body. He has also written a book entitled “Lifestyle Medicine: A New Approach to Health.” He was also a speaker for Harvard Health and the Harvard Medical School’s Health Matters Forum. He also has written many articles for Harvard’s web site. He’s really a great guy who has a wonderful sense of humor.
Lifestyle medicine is the art of promoting optimal health through healthy living. It is derived from Greek (philosophia) and Latin (medicina) meaning “knowledge of the body.” The term lifestyle medicine is derived from the medical school’s motto, “The study of medicine as a means to health.” It is derived from the Latin “medicus” meaning “to heal” and “medicare” meaning “to treat.
One of the best things about reading lifestyle medicine forums is the fact that they’re all about lifestyle and eating healthy. When I first realized this, I checked out several of the forum pages before I found one that had a bunch of healthy eating tips. It was because of these tips that I started to eat healthier and exercise more regularly. I also found out that I was living a great life and had many good friends, so I didn’t want to give up.
Because lifestyle medicine forums are focused on healthy eating and exercise they often get a lot of flack from people who are against this. What a bunch of bs. The fact is, it just so happens that the majority of the population is on a diet that’s extremely unhealthy and is often linked to obesity and heart disease.
No I’m not going to go on the diet/exercise/dine out rant about lifestyle medicine. I’m not going to do that because it goes against my philosophy of treating patients with the same respect that I show my own clients. These people do not have my best interest in mind, but they need to be treated like the human beings that they are.
You can’t just blame lifestyle on people. It’s a complex subject that most people don’t have a lot of understanding of. Some people can understand it, but the majority of them aren’t on the same page as you. It’s a very complex topic that requires a lot of personal knowledge and personal reasoning. As a patient with this type of disease it can be difficult for a doctor to know how to treat the patient.
