believe judging people
There are a lot of food Nazis in the U.S., but I believe if you can show people what's really important, they'll judge the rest for themselves.
eye doctors years
What we have now is doctors who are actually better technically at what they're doing in their specialty than 30 or 40 years ago, but we lost the relationship, when the doctor would look people in the eye and say, 'I care about you. We can do this together.'
journey lunch hiking
If I make your workplace conducive to walking at lunch, or working out at some time during the day, or I get people to use the stairs more by creating incentives to do such, then people will start doing it naturally.
hurt next-day work-out
In my business, if I get too close to you and you die, it hurts me. And so you develop a natural inclination not to be close to the patient, so that if things don't work out ideally, you can still get up the next day and care for the next patient.
lying smart covering
We're all human beings, but some of us are more sophisticated at covering our flaws. We're just smart enough to lie to ourselves that everything is OK.
yoga love-life driving
Make the driving force in your life love.
sacred becoming changed
Food is no longer sacred to us: in becoming too efficient we've changed its nature.
support conjunctions used
Medications almost always do it better if they're used in conjunction with other supports.
bridges wife used
I used to bicycle to work across the George Washington Bridge, but my wife told me it wasn't professional.
thinking medicine doctors
Most allopathic doctors think practitioners of alternative medicine are all quacks. They're not. Often they're sharp people who think differently about disease.
needs sugar
We don't need sugar to live, and we don't need it as a society.
mother eye unconditional-love
My mother was all about unconditional love, and I don't think we give that to our patients a lot. At the end of the day, what they really need you to do is to look at them in the eye and say, 'I'm here for you. I'm going to make sure this works out.'
block sleep night
When there is a psyche-disrupting event in your life, it can prevent you from getting the long blocks of sleep at night that are so important to healthy aging.
levels shows knows
I like shows that have some level of intelligence to them. When it's not as predictable, when you don't know what's coming at you.
