I saw many people who had advanced heart disease and I was so frustrated because I knew if they just knew how to do the right thing, simple lifestyle and diet steps, that the entire trajectory of their life and health would have been different.

I was lucky enough to marry a wonderful chef.

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.

We don't walk. We overeat because we've made it easy to overeat. We have fast-food joints on every corner. By the way, the 'we' is all of us. It's not the government. It's all of us doing this together.

I do practice what I preach when it comes to nutrition.

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

Most food you drop is still perfectly edible. If it was in your eyesight the whole time, you can pick it up and eat it.
