Diana Schwarzbein, M.D., Endocrinologist, The Schwarzbein Institute

There was a time when many human beings often died prematurely from elements beyond their control. In modern, developed cultures, this is no longer so common. Today, we sometimes die prematurely from elements that are very much within our control. Schwarzbein says we kill ourselves by the choices we make daily, dying decades before we have to, and subjecting ourselves, unnecessarily, to years of ill-health and disease during our shortened lifetimes. She argues that we have far greater impact on our health than most people realize, that it all comes down to our nutrition and lifestyle habits. Schwarzbein will share insights designed to make you think about the way you live and manage your health.
