      Foreword: by Dean Ornish, M.D.

      50 Simple Things to Save Your Life During Residency is a game changer for doctors. What I've found in my career is that if you want to make healthy changes, keep it simple. And part of the genius of Ben's book is that it is full of simple tips and wisdom to help you thrive, no matter what life or residency demands of you.

      In my experience, there are two types of people who can make something simple: those who know very little about it and make it simplistic, and those who have mastered it and can describe the essence out of a deep understanding, focusing on what's most important. Dr. Ben Brown is clearly in the latter category.

      I love this book. Think of it as a survival manual, like a Worst-Case Scenario guide for residency. If I had this book during my internship and medical residency at the Massachusetts General Hospital, my life would have been much saner then.

      Our understanding of health is changing dramatically. On the one hand, advances in medicine and science have armed physicians with better high-tech treatment options, such as organ transplants and stem cell therapy. On the other hand, our research has proven that making simple changes to your lifestyle can actually reverse heart disease and many other chronic illnesses—an idea considered impossible not long ago. In our research, we've used high-tech, expensive, state-of-the-art scientific measurement to prove the power of these simple, low-tech and low-cost interventions.

      My colleagues and I also found that these lifestyle changes may stop or even reverse the progression of early-stage prostate cancer. We found that with just three months of a healthier lifestyle more than 500 genes were changed—genes that protect us turned on and genes that promote heart disease, type 2 diabetes, breast cancer, prostate cancer and colon cancer, among others, turned off. Our latest research showed that even our telomeres (the ends of our chromosomes that control aging) get longer and as our telomeres get longer, our lives get longer. Thus, our genes are a predisposition, but our genes are not our fate.

      Based on this research, Medicare and major insurance companies are now covering our lifestyle program, helping to create a new financially sustainable paradigm of health care rather than only sick care.

      This is all great news. With support to make better choices, people are able to live longer, happier and healthier lives. As doctors, it is incredibly rewarding for us to help our patients prevent and recover from disease. That's why most of us got into this work... we wanted to help people feel
