The Doctor Of The Future: Prescribing Lifestyle As Medicine | Mark Rowe | TEDxUCD 

Simple, profound and amazing talk, have heard all these ideas before but Dr Rowe's personal experience and his willingness to share makes his talk unforgettable. How fortunate are his patients

From one Lifestyle medicine professional to another, the change is simple but not easy. Great support.

WOW and still Americans love the pills? I remember a time only 5 decades ago, where the doctor never prescribed a pill, there were no supermarkets, or pharmacies [drug stores] The doctors set broken limbs, removed other bits and piece and you only saw a specialist if it was something dire. and for me that was not till i was 23 and even then I didnt get a pill that was 1971. Medicine was all about eating, exercise and living a healthy life, we only bought tea, flour and sugar, everything else we grew. Then along came 1973-75 and USA graced us with their presence via a regime change, and bought along there demonic, petroleum based poisons they called medicine, We were lucky we didnt live in the cities USA is not going to have a good time when KARMA catches up. PROGRESS is not what it is cracked to be. and the rich elites wont let you go back to living a good healthy life. they dont get a $ for that

Congratulations and very well done, Mark.

Fully agree with the mentioned prescription here; sadly, the huge business pharma will NOT allow changing it and follow with the profitable pills, shots & cirjuries

Dear mark Doctor... very nice.

That's an awesome speech.

A nice presentation. This way of thinking is introduced in our primary care curriculum in Bergen, but not made so specific, and as long as I know, never done any research on.

Thank you so much.

Great video really impresive I also believe that lifestyle medicine is the solution

Great talk

Incredible. Thank you.

I need such a doctor. I am surrounded by medical professionals who only prescrbe stuff I don't take anymore, because my needs are different and cannot be healed by big pharma's poisons.

I agree

Hi have good day

Janine Simons, "Karmageddon?"

This is what told in ancient indian way of life, culture and customs and rituals even in rural and hamlets of india. But in 75 years due to the spread of western culture of money driven life, the people are ignorantly affected through lifestyle changes.

A crucial message we need to hear from EVERY doctor - thank you Mark for sharing your wisdom, love and light.

Like music, I have found Dr. Rowe's talk to be worth a second and a third listen. I hear new things each time. Each listen has inspired additional reflections. Our own responsibility for our personal health care coupled with an evolving understanding of the power of a consultative medical practice can have a profound change in both individual lives and the entire culture of caring. Bravo, Mark!

Dear Dr. Mark. Someone else said it here. This presentation is an achievement. It was brilliant on life on so many levels. You are a gift and finding ways to get across despite your struggles of burnout you have more greatness in you. Self-care. I am going to post it on my frigedaire. Thank you for this contribution. It was heartwarming and inspiring. I will be passing it on.

Your talk touched my heart and my mind. Thank you!

I could not agree more with Dr. Rowe’s viewpoint regarding the importance of implementing lifestyle medicine into all aspects of medical care, and I wonder if the lack of physicians applying this to their practice is largely due to the format of our medical education programs. As a medical student, I have recognized the tendency of our curriculum to primarily focus on the pharmacologic components of treating diseases instead of teaching us how to use lifestyle changes to improve outcomes and potentially reverse certain medical conditions. I have sought out opportunities to learn more about lifestyle medicine while in medical school because it is a passion of mine, but if this information was better integrated into the medical curriculum it could have a profound impact on the way our physicians choose to practice medicine, and as a result, the health of our society as a whole. Additionally, Dr. Rowe relates implementing lifestyle medicine to the concept of non-maleficence when he speaks about the Hippocratic oath to “do no harm,” but in my opinion, this has more to do with beneficence. While non-maleficence focuses on not inflicting harm, beneficence involves preventing/removing harm and promoting good. By considering lifestyle changes instead of jumping straight to pharmaceutical intervention, physicians can make a considerable impact on a patient’s wellness by preventing the development of new diseases, preventing the progression of current diseases, and removing potentially harmful side effects which result from taking certain medications. And of course, these things together will certainly promote good for your patients. In the future, I hope that all medical schools will incorporate lifestyle medicine practices as a more prominent part of their curriculum so that future physicians learn to focus more on improving the overall health of their patients instead of solely focusing on which medications they can prescribe.

Well done Mark. The video itself is a great achievement. Here's to your first million views!

Doctors are expert when it comes to health. One may assume doctors are therefore best at promoting their own wellbeing and health. Ironically, this is far from reality. In fact, being a doctor increases a person’s health risk due to the enormous pressure of clinical practice. Doctors are more vulnerable to mental health problems. There is often a lack of insight when doctors neglect their personal wellbeing. Let's not forget doctors are also humans.

Excellent talk! Great advice!

The real future ❤

Very inspiring!!! Truth about how most doctors are now, and how they should really be in the current world. Lifestyle medicine is already on the rise and hopefully the future will be a lot different.

fantastic and well worth sharing.

deep and genuine

Well done !

Wow, this is absolutely bang on, I am so glad I stumbles across this talk, so much truth and sincerity with it. great work.

This is fantastic. In essence what social prescribing is doing in the UK

Thank you very much for sharing with us. Brilliant!

Hello Mark - it is a tonic to hear a doctor talk with such honesty. We can forget that doctors are as vulnerable as the rest of us and vulnerability is a strength not a weakness. Food is our new medicine, lifestyle is our new prescription and health coaches are the doctors of the future providing the structure clients need for lifestyle improvement with a fully integrated wellness plan. Keep up the good work. Helen Byrne Nutrition and Health Coach Tramore
