The Geneva Declaration, a modern successor to the Hippocratic Oath, was recently revised to include the clause "I will attend to my own health, well-being, and abilities in order to provide care of the highest standard."

Principles of Medical Professionalism emphasizes an often-neglected aspect of medical professionalism: how and why physicians ought to focus on their self-care, happiness, and well-being as they advance through the process of...

Food as Medicine
"Let food be thy medicine" - a mantra famously attributed to Hippocrates - captures the central role of nutrition and dietary patterns in human health. Not only is the food we consume linked to prevention of diseases of dietary deficiency such as scurvy, pellagra, and Kwashiorkor, so too is it related to diseases of caloric abundance, such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and hypertension. Moreover, patterns of food consumption are increasingly linked to restoration of health and maintenance of disease-free states following diagnoses such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, and cancer. Finally, our ever-expanding knowledge of the human microbiome's role in health and disease continues to implicat...
Lifestyle Nutrition
What individuals consume in their diet has profound implications on their health. Despite overwhelming evidence that plant-based diets yield multiple health benefits, physicians often feel ill-prepared to discuss nutrition with their patients.

Make America Healthy Again
Doctors today employ better diagnostic procedures and innovative surgical procedures, such as the use of robots. While this generally improves care, it drives up costs. Meanwhile, the price of a medical education is rising exponentially, and the time required for training continues to increase. If you want to become a doctor, you must go through four years of expensive medical school after college—and then it’s on to residency and fellowship training, which can last anywhere from three to ten years. Due to changes in reimbursement and a rise in the number of employed physicians in practice, the financial rewards of pursuing a career in medicine are diminishing. Charles Antinori, MD, FACS, who recently retired after a half century doing surgery, takes a detailed look at the American health care system, including where it’s coming up short. He concludes that surgery is a very satisfying discipline, even though it involves long hours and hard work. In Make America Healthy Again, he recounts his experiences, many of which are humorous, and shares recommendations that could improve the health care system and pave the way for more Americans to enjoy good health.
