Ezekiel Emanuel Speaking Topics

  • Wellness and Longevity

    There is an enormous Wellness-Industrial Complex. There are three problems with these wellness and longevity authors, newsletters, internet gurus and Tik Tok influencers. While some of whom have a great insights, many are making crazy, unsubstantiated recommendations. Many wellness commentators have enormous conflicts of interest. Finally there is just too much information so for the average person who wants to be healthy it is hard to differentiate fact from fiction and make suitable adjustments in life.

    Wellness is not really complex. It entails 6 simple things, and you don’t have to do them perfectly to get the enormous benefits. The most important thing is cultivating social relations. They add to your wellness, happiness and longevity. Second is staying mentally engaged and thus not retiring to ward off cognitive impairment and dementia. Third, eat well. This mainly entails stopping to do bad stuff—stopping to drink sodas, stopping to eat snacks like cookies, potato chips, and packaged sweets, and reducing ultra-processed foods to about 20% or less of calories. The main good thing to do is eat fermented foods—yogurt, kimchi, miso, and other products with probiotics. Fourth, get the 3 types of exercise—aerobic, strength training, and flexibility and balance. Fifth, sleep like a baby. You cannot will yourself to sleep, but you can make it conducive. Finally, don’t be a schmuck—don’t take unnecessary risks. This means don’t smoke or vape, don’t drink alcohol or no more than 4 drinks a week, don’t buy a gun to protect yourself, and certainly don’t try to climb Mt. Everest. These are all schmuck moves.

    Maybe the most important advice is not to obsess over wellness—don’t make it a religion or all consuming obsession. Adopt the key behaviors and put it into the background so you can focus on the important things in your life—your family, your career, making the world better.

  • AI and Health Care

    I am wildly optimistic about AI in health care. We are at the steep upward curve. AI will help in 3 distinct ways: ‍

    1) With back office functions like billing or being AI scribes for physician office visits, ‍

    2) Decision-supports—assisting radiologists or averting side effective from polypharmacy—I work with a company in this area. ‍

    3) Providing remove patient treatment plans and interventions—IThis is the cutting edge and key. There is evidence AI therapists are as good as MDs, and I work with a company that does this for children with OT/PT, mental health, self-regulation, autism, and normal development. ‍

    AI will help in focal areas. But AI cannot fix the health care system’s problems—the problem of lack of universal coverage, reasonable costs, uniformly high quality care, equity, and greater satisfaction of patients and clinicians. These problems result from 3 structural defects built into the foundations of the health system such as fragmentation of coverage and payment. Until these problems are addressed the system will continue to deteriorate.
