In this episode of The Well-Being Manifesto, hosts Dr. Moain Abu Dabrh and Dr. David Freeman welcome world-renowned physician, researcher, and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Dean Ornish — founder and president of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute and pioneer of lifestyle medicine.
For over four decades, Dr. Ornish’s groundbreaking research has proven that comprehensive lifestyle changes — including nutrition, movement, stress management, love, and connection — can not only prevent but even reverse chronic diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, prostate cancer, and now early Alzheimer’s disease.
Together, they explore:
💪 The science behind reversing heart disease and Alzheimer’s naturally
🧠 Why small, consistent steps can drive big, lasting health transformations
❤️ How love, compassion, and social connection are medicine for the heart and mind
🥗 The impact of a whole-food, plant-based diet on longevity and emotional well-being
🧘 The role of stress management and mindfulness in true healing
🌍 How lifestyle medicine empowers people and systems to move from “sick care” to real health
Dr. Ornish’s message is clear: change doesn’t have to be radical to be powerful. Every small, mighty step — in how we eat, move, breathe, and connect — brings us closer to healing, purpose, and joy.
If you’re ready to reimagine what’s possible for your health and well-being, this conversation is a must-listen.
