Q&A Interview with the author, Dr. Robin Miller
– Why have you written this book?
As an Integrative medicine doctor, I have found the best approach to health and healing is to partner with my patients and find the best preventive measures and treatments that work for them as individuals. I am always in search of new; evidence-based therapies that will help them lead their best lives. In Healed, we share these approaches so patients will be aware of their many options for wellness.
– What are the keys and evidence to a long and healthy life?
A healthy diet, exercise, a strong social network and a life filled with purpose are what it is all about. In areas of the world where people live into their 100th year, people move as part of their daily life, eat a healthy (mostly plant based diet), have love and community, faith in a higher power and a strong sense of purpose.
– Is there an effective way to lose weight without dieting? What is the secret?
Eating whole foods and following the Mediterranean-style eating plan is a great way to eat and lose weight. The secret is not to go on a diet, but find something that works for life. Rapid weight loss will not result in long-term weight loss. The only thing that will work is a slow and steady weight loss at no more than 1 pound a week. The body rests at a set point, the place where it has been for a long time. When you move that point down rapidly, the brain will drive you to gain the weight back. It will not do that if you take it slow and find a new set point at a lower weight at a much later date!
– Is there a way to improve movement in those with Parkinson’s disease?
Yes! Ballroom dancing
– How does it work?
Ballroom dancing allows the building of new neural networks in the brain at any age. For Parkinson’s the new networks bypass the part of the brain damaged by the disease.
If you could leave one final thought for readers of your book, what do you hope they gain?
I hope our readers realize health and wellness can be obtained at any age. They can find it with many of the new ideas and concepts discussed in our book along with healthy eating, exercise, and of course ballroom dancing!
