Americans are confronted with a wealth of sources of often questionable information about how to live better and longer. From the “Wellness Industrial Complex” to weak health reporting to faddish influencers, there is a lot of information and misinformation confusing people about some of the most important things about their bodies. How do we know what really matters the most to our health and longevity? What is the most robust and actionable evidence? And what is the junk you can just skip?

Join us for a return visit to the Club from Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, M.D., Ph.D.

Emanuel, a bioethicist, health policy expert, advisor to presidents, oncologist, professor, writer, cyclist and chocolatier, has assembled simple but high-impact and evidence-based guidelines for issues people ask about: Alcohol consumption, food and nutrition, sleep, mental acuity, exercise, and social engagement. That is the subject of his latest book, Eat Your Ice Cream, in which he guides people to what really matters for well-being.

Emanuel says that life isn’t a competition to live the longest; he also says that “wellness” should not be difficult. Come learn this doctor’s prescription for a healthy, balanced life.
