Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian is a cardiologist at Harvard Medical School. In 2008 he published an article in the journal Circulation entitled “Beyond Established and Novel Risk Factors: Lifestyle Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease.”  This week I have an interview with Dr. Ellen Langer, Professor of Psychology at Harvard University. Dr. Langer has been researching mindfulness for over thirty years. She was a guest in Fitness Rocks Podcast 086. I am not inviting a debate about healthcare reform here on Fitness Rocks, but I think this video, sent to me by a filmmaker friend, is at least entertaining.
I will say a few things about healthcare reform. First, we need it. Second, I’ve had the experience of working as a doctor in two different healthcare systems: the US Army and American private practice. The US Army is a government program. There is no comparison between the quality of medical care I observed firsthand in the government military system and private, for-profit, medical practice. The government run program is better, period. All three of my children were born in Army hospitals. The care was excellent and it cost me – nothing (except a trip to a war zone). There were no lines for service. A 19-year old private was seen and cared for just as fast and just as well as a General. This week I continue my rebuttal to the TIME magazine article about the “Myth of Exercise.” In this episode I have an interview with Dr. Mark Pereira, an obesity researcher from the University of Minnesota School of Public Health. |
