Modern medicine has two tools in its black bag—surgery and pills. Surgery and
Diabesity: Square Peg, Round Hole addresses the fact that neither contemporary
therapy fits the two looming epidemics that are currently confronting society—
diabesity and ageing. Rather, a new model of medicine is needed, one that is
grounded in knowledge and personal responsibility. Featuring one of America’s
most renowned physicians, the DVD examines the key factors involved in the
conceptual framework for such a model.
Among topics covered:
- The Cost of Healthcare
- Biological Determinates of Health With the Industrial Model of Health
- Health Equation
- Fitness and Mortality by Age
- Clinical Syndrome and Fitness Landscape
