When I was in medical school more than 30 years ago, the education I received emphasized disease and illness; there was much to learn about different health conditions, and genetics and DNA were given a large degree of importance. But today, there is a growing body of science which suggests that lifestyle changes—such as exercise, having quality sleep, and avoiding smoking—can make a real difference to your health and lifespan. And, perhaps better than these factors, they can also enhance the quality of your lived experience: how you think and feel, day in and day out. In this episode, I discuss health beyond the absence of disease and how making lifestyle changes can significantly improve your health and well-being. I define lifestyle medicine and outline its six pillars. I share the Million Veteran Study and explain how it demonstrated the cumulative effects and age-specific benefits of adopting multiple healthy habits. I also suggest a few small, positive lifestyle changes and habits you can adopt today and underscore the interconnected nature of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. “Lifestyle medicine is as much a mindset change as it is a habit change. It's a mindset change to say to yourself, ‘less emphasis on pills and more emphasis on skills and lifestyle habits.'” – Dr Mark Rowe   This week on In the Doctor's Chair: The disease- and genetics-focused medical education I received decades ago Health beyond the absence of disease The ancient, philosophical notions of health and well-being The life-saving benefits of medicine How lifestyle medicine does not imply abandoning traditional medicine Becoming an active participant of your health and well-being The six pillars of lifestyle medicine How spending time in nature and having a strong sense of purpose enhances health and well-being The Million Veteran Study and ranking healthy habits The impact of positive health behaviors on longevity The cumulative effect and age-specific benefits of incorporating multiple healthy habits Exercise as medicine and how exercise and weight training can reduce your risk of death from any cause Avoiding drinking and smoking, and improving nutrition How learning to respond better and manage stress can reduce early mortality rates How depriving yourself of quality sleep can negatively impact your long-term health and well-being Positive relationships as the leading indicator of your well-being The interconnection between the emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental aspects of your well-being Small health-enhancing habits you can start today   In the Doctor's Chair Thanks for listening to In the Doctor's Chair, the show where you'll hear conversations that share life lessons, health habits, and leadership practices that focus on positive psychology, lifestyle medicine, and ways for you to live with more vitality.

Strength training used to be a considerable blind spot for me. To me, exercise was only about getting off a sweat—and, perhaps, it may be for you too. After all, the prevailing mindset about strength training today is that it's mainly for bodybuilders, boxers, and gym-goers. But, as I've learned through life and research, strength training and exercise are some of the most powerful pills of all. In this episode, I discuss how you can live better and longer through strength-based training and exercise. I share the story of John, an 84-year-old man whose biological age is decades behind his chronological age. I explain how our bodies lose lean muscles as we age—leading to eventual decline—and how the environments we spend our time in can be health-enhancing or health-depleting. I also outline the key benefits of strength training on aging, metabolism, mental health, and vitality and offer advice on starting strength training as a habit. “Starting a strength training program today could optimize your chances of staying in the peak zone of health, well-being, and vitality for years and decades to come.” – Dr. Mark Rowe   This week on In the Doctor's Chair: How exercising and strength training is a health secret kept from many people How my journey to understanding lifestyle as medicine changed my mindset about strength training Strength training's power to slow the process of age-related decline Strength training's impact on mental health How an 84-year-old man maintains his peak performance and health Hope molecules and their positive effects on the brain How strength training can boost metabolism by increasing your sensitivity to insulin How strength training and exercise can give you more energy   In the Doctor's Chair Thanks for listening to In the Doctor's Chair, the show where you'll hear conversations that share life lessons, health habits, and leadership practices that focus on positive psychology, lifestyle medicine, and ways for you to live with more vitality.

Imagine that there is a bridge between you and a state of health, well-being, vitality, creativity, and empathy for yourself and the world around you.

Epictetus was a Greek Stoic philosopher that was born into slavery. After being banished from Rome, he moved to northwestern Greece, where he lived for the rest of his life. His life was about making progress instead of mastering perfection and, because of this, there are many great life lessons we can learn from him. These lessons provide us with a practical path to resilience, growth, fulfillment, and wisdom. This week, I discuss some of the life lessons we can learn from the great minds of ancient philosophers, like Epictetus. I share how he learned by choosing how he responded to different situations, it gave him an inner sense of freedom despite his circumstances. I share how Epictetus teaches us to use adversity as a means to develop our sense of freedom and the importance of taking responsibility for our thoughts and beliefs. I discuss why he believed our actions speak louder than words, his thoughts on receiving criticism from others, and why he taught his students to cultivate good habits. I also discuss the value of being mindful of how we spend our time and making light of life's challenges. “Use adversity as an opportunity to develop your inner sense of freedom. The robber of your free will does not exist. Some things are in your control, others are not.” – Dr. Mark Rowe This week on In the Doctor's Chair: Choosing how we respond to different situations Epictetus' manual for living What Epictetus believed about blaming others for your own bad circumstances Accurately identifying what's within your control and what is not Using adversity as an opportunity to develop your sense of freedom How Epictetus describes suffering Taking responsibility for our thoughts and beliefs Making light of life's challenges Why your actions speak louder than your words Epictetus' views on receiving criticism from others Cultivating good habits Being mindful of how we spend our time Resources Mentioned: Book: The Enchiridion by Epictetus Book: Discourses by Epictetus   In the Doctor's Chair Thanks for listening to In the Doctor's Chair, the show where you'll hear conversations that share life lessons, health habits, and leadership practices that focus on positive psychology, lifestyle medicine, and ways for you to live with more vitality.

How do you let go of petty resentments and destructive ideas holding you back from reaching your goals? I look to Benjamin Franklin, one of my favorite historical figures, because of his brilliance and his ability to hold himself accountable for his personal growth for guidance. Every day, Franklin would ask himself a series of introspective questions about the good he could do and what he could give back to the world, which nurtured his curiosity about the world around him and led him to be one of the most prolific thinkers the world has ever known. Today, I guide you through a series of questions meant to help you develop a growth mindset and learn how to ask yourself the right questions to find your personal truth and foster your curiosity about the world around you. I help you identify your strengths and share some surprising traits that strong people have. I discuss the importance of gratitude and how focusing on abundance is more important than focusing on what you don't have. I explain how you can incorporate these questions into your daily routine and how this practice can increase your well-being and relationships. I also discuss the benefits of incorporating appreciation into your life. “A foundational habit brings perspective to the past, a sense of peace to the present moment, and a profound sense of hope and realistic optimism for a brighter, better future.” – Dr. Mark Rowe This week on In the Doctor's Chair: How to ask yourself the right questions to foster health and well being The questions I recommend asking yourself daily The positive effects of being curious about the world around you What Benjamin Franklin can teach us about the growth mindset How letting go of negativity can help you re-charge and recenter   In the Doctor's Chair Thanks for listening to In the Doctor's Chair, the show where you'll hear conversations that share life lessons, health habits, and leadership practices that focus on positive psychology, lifestyle medicine, and ways for you to live with more vitality.

Today, we live in a society where kindness is often looked down on as a weakness. But in reality, kindness–which stems from the Golden Rule–has benefits that are spiritual, physical, and mental. In this episode, I talk about why kindness is an essential part of a lifestyle of vitality. I share the concrete benefits of being kind and compassionate toward others, benefits which are mental, physical, and spiritual. I share research on why, when you're kind, you actually make the world a better place. I explain why, contrary to being a sign of weakness, kindness increases your resilience. Finally, I share a poem on kindness. “When you seek to find the best in others, you also bring out the best in yourself.”– Dr. Mark Rowe This week on In the Doctor's Chair The concrete benefits of cultivating kindness and compassion in your everyday life The benefits of kindness Why kindness is good for your heart How kindness can change your worldview The contagiousness of kindness Kindness on social media Kindness as a choice In the Doctor's Chair Thanks for listening to In the Doctor's Chair, the show where you'll hear conversations that share life lessons, health habits, and leadership practices that focus on positive psychology, lifestyle medicine, and ways for you to live with more vitality.

The ideology that manly men never show weakness and never ask for help is a dangerous stereotype of masculinity that has profound health consequences. Far too often, I see men delay healthcare and lose out on years that they could have spent living healthier lives and enjoying time with their families. I even wrote a book, The Men's Health Book: A Guide for the Irish Man, about the distressing gap in life expectancy between men and women. When I wrote the book in 2009, women lived, on average, 6 years longer than men. Since then, the gap has shrunk to 3.6 years, but it has led me to further study how men approach healthcare and why they delay seeking it out. Today, I discuss men's health and why it's important for men to work with their doctors on a partnership approach to healthcare. I highlight why men often delay seeking medical attention and neglect their health, which can have negative consequences. I emphasize the need for men to take action and be proactive in caring for their health. I explore the reasons behind men's health issues, including biological factors and societal beliefs, and encourage men to overcome their fears and seek help when needed. I also provide tips on how to have a productive doctor-patient relationship and stress the importance of being informed about one's own health, including knowing the numbers related to blood pressure, cholesterol, belly fat, and other health markers. “Become more of an active participant in your own well-being as opposed to simply a passive consumer of healthcare.” – Dr. Mark Rowe This week on In the Doctor's Chair: The importance of a partnership approach to healthcare How men's health affects partners, wives, children, and friends Why men so commonly delay seeking medical attention How men can take action to look after their health How testosterone can contribute to men's health risks Why it's important to know your family history and basic health data How lifestyle choices affect men's health Resources Mentioned: Book: The Men's Health Book: A Guide for the Irish Man by Dr. Mark Rowe   In the Doctor's Chair Thanks for listening to In the Doctor's Chair, the show where you'll hear conversations that share life lessons, health habits, and leadership practices that focus on positive psychology, lifestyle medicine, and ways for you to live with more vitality.
