Health Wellness & Anti-aging

This week’s guest is Dr. Michael Turner. Dr. Turner graduated from Stanford University, Harvard Medical School, and did his internship at The Mayo Clinic. He has his own Concierge Integrative Medicine Practice where he works with a wide variety of medical issues; things like health, wellness & anti-aging topics, goals and interests, health optimization, and even sports nutrition and performance. He wants to help people live in their best possible state of health and wellness.

We talked a lot about specific issues and some of the ways we can help ourselves in solving them. Dr. Turner would not be your primary care doctor but he is someone who can help you to deal with specific problems - for example wanting to talk about brain or heart health, preventing dementia, improving their cholesterol, or side effects from current medication.

I can’t go through it all here but I will say that this was one of the best podcast conversations I’ve had and I’m sure you will learn a lot and you might even want to contact Dr. Turner for help with a medical problem you are dealing with. His website is : https://www.michaelturnermd.com/

Let me introduce you to Dr. Nemanja Baletic aka Dr. Nemo. The founder of Oneness Medicine is a former Ottawa U Gee Gee's basketball player whose holistic approach to medicine has led him to study around the world and at some of the top medical institutions. With Harvard on his resume, Dr. Andrew Weil as his mentor and his name on published medical papers Dr. Nemo is a true game changer. We talk about medicine from a very different perspective which goes far beyond actual medication to the healing powers of meditation, food, love, environment and visualization. Dr. Nemo discusses the tools he used as an athlete to help shape the way he studied and performed in difficult medical situations. In addition to continued athletic aspirations, he also models, and considers himself an amateur filmmaker. Name it, he's done it. I was in awe of the energy and passion he has for integrative medicine and his ability to share it with others in a way that makes them want to change for the better. For future med students this is a must listen and for anyone who believes in the power of healing this is a great one for you.
