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.'

I meditate and I'm passionate about it.

I've got so many weaknesses.

Food is no longer sacred to us: in becoming too efficient we've changed its nature.

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.

Medicine grounds me, it centers me, that's why I continue to do it.

We don't need sugar to live, and we don't need it as a society.

I think I'm a better doctor than I am a husband. I give myself a good grade as a doctor, then the next best grade as a father, and the worst grade as a husband.

Not enough families eat together. We eat in front of the TV while we're absorbed in a program.

People say their weight is genetic. But it turns out that people who are overweight don't just have overweight kids. They also have overweight pets. That's not genetic.

No matter how old you are, no matter how much you weigh, you can still control the health of your body.

A lot of folks believe their best years are behind them. But I want Americans to recognize that's not true.

What happens when you have great grief in your life is the arteries of that heart begins to spasms down, just literally squeezes down like this because you're feeling the tension of your life and then the heart muscle itself will also begin - to get stressed out.

You get the health benefits of coffee up through about the first twenty-four ounces. It's the biggest source of antioxidants for Americans, and we think it helps prevent Alzheimer's and Parkinson's as well.

The rule I use is, If it doesn't come out of the ground looking the way it looks when you eat it, be careful.

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.

You don't have a family doctor anymore like you did when you were a kid, who treated you throughout your life.

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.

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.

Biology always beats will power.
