    What is Your Real Age? with Dr. Michael Roizen
    Feb 10 2025
    In this episode of Next Level Health, Dr. Melinda Ring sits down with Dr. Michael Roizen, a trailblazer in lifestyle medicine, bestselling author, and the first-ever Chief Wellness Officer at the Cleveland Clinic. They talk about how lifestyle choices impact your “real age,” six key health markers that determine your longevity and disease risk and how walking 10,000 steps per day, strength training, and jumping are essential to a healthy lifespan. They also discuss how Cleveland Clinic’s employee wellness program has saved the organization tens of millions of dollars over the years and how it could be implemented at the national level. https://youtu.be/LS2eCOklYXY [00:02:26] Understanding Real Age vs. Chronological Age Dr. Roizen recently celebrated his 79th birthday, but his real age is closer to age 57. He explains the concept of real age, which reflects the biological age of somebody based on their health choices, such as consistently choosing to eat salmon versus red meat. He shares how lifestyle factors impact longevity at an epigenetic level. [00:06:34] Revolutionizing Workplace Wellness at Cleveland Clinic As the first Chief Wellness Officer at the Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Roizen implemented the groundbreaking Healthy Choice Program, a voluntary initiative to improve employee health. The program reduced healthcare costs by millions of dollars annually for the institution and employees were incentivized to take part through payments made directly to them for meeting the goals of the program. [00:15:23] The Six Normals for Optimal Health A cornerstone of the Healthy Choices Program is for each participant to reach “six normals.” These are key health metrics that predict long-term wellness, including optimal blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, blood sugar and no nicotine. He discusses how medications and lifestyle changes can be used to reach these targets. [00:23:07] Exercise & Movement: What Science Supports The discussion dives into the importance of taking 10,000 steps per day, participating in resistance training, and jumping for maintaining bone density and overall health. Dr. Roizen also touches on myths around Zone 2 training and why strength training is critical for aging well. [00:35:52] The Most Overlooked Risk: Preventing Falls Finally, he shares a key insight about falls being a leading cause of death in older adults.

  • Healthy People Have More Fun with Dr. David Katz

    Healthy People Have More Fun with Dr. David Katz
    Dec 16 2024
    In this episode, Dr. Melinda Ring talks with Dr. David Katz, a leader in lifestyle medicine and preventive medicine specialist about actionable steps people can take to combat chronic diseases and optimize their health and well-being, so they can add more time and energy to life and enjoy doing the things they love, longer. They discuss the rise in obesity and chronic diseases and the addictive nature of ultra-processed foods as well as the role of policy and education in improving public health. Discover practical tips for a healthier lifestyle such as "Tastebud Rehab" and insights on how to align your lifestyle with joy and vitality. [00:00:00] Katz emphasizes that maintaining good health is not a moral obligation but rather as an opportunity and a source of joy. He states that "healthy people have more fun" because good health allows individuals to spend more time and energy doing the things they love. [00:02:29] Katz shares a career-defining moment inspired by a pivotal 1993 JAMA article called “Actual Causes of Death in the United States” and how the knowledge of modifiable root causes of chronic diseases reshaped his research focus toward translation and application rather than discovery. [00:06:15] Despite the efforts of those in lifestyle medicine, Katz recognizes that he and his colleagues are “failing” at helping Americans improve their health and lifestyles because chronic diseases and obesity rates continue to rise. [00:10:02] He says there are many reasons for this rise of poor health and points to the addictive nature of ultra-processed foods. He explains the food industry's deliberate design of addictive food products and provides practical tips for reducing sugar and processed food intake through what he calls "Tastebud Rehab." Katz and Ring also discuss other ways to help people transition to healthier eating habits, including the pros and cons of gradual changes versus going “cold turkey” and the use of GLP-1 agonists to jumpstart the process. [00:28:16] Other approaches that could help people live healthier lives include regulatory policies and aligning government, private sector innovations, and individual efforts to promote healthier lifestyles. [00:31:43] Katz highlights the importance of educating medical students and other healthcare providers about nutrition and Ring refers to the recently proposed 36 nutrition competencies for medical school curriculum. [00:40:26] Katz encourages listeners to identify small, fixable aspects of life that could lead to greater vitality. He highlights the importance of sustainable lifestyle changes and the power of community support in achieving long-term health goals.
