Much in the way Olympic athletes optimize their game by paying an enormous - borderline maniacal - amount of attention to things like diet, exercise, sleep, and of course the essential R&R, we all would do well to pay more attention to those key aspects of our lives that comprise our overall health equation.

Keep a strict, predictable schedule 365 days a year that has you eating, sleeping, and exercising at about the same times day in and day out.

In health care today, we spend most of the dollars - in terms of treating disease - in the last two years of a person's life.

We may never understand illnesses such as cancer. In fact, we may never cure it. But an ounce of prevention is worth more than a million pounds of cure.

We have forgotten that curing cancer starts with preventing cancer in the first place.

No technology will win. Technology itself will win.

I want doctors to treat toward health and not treat toward disease.
