Why I Do Speaking Engagements
I speak out because I must. I won’t sit around idly wishing we could do better. My calling is to act now to inspire our nation’s leaders, healthcare community, and the American public to rise to our full potential. We can and must do all we can to reverse the epidemics of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, dementia, and other lifestyle diseases. I know we can beat these diseases as individuals, neighborhoods, communities, cities, states, and as a unified nation. Our country is eager for leadership, solutions, and inspiration—as a doctor and American it is my obligation and true pleasure to stand up for what is needed now and in the future.
Presentation Topics
Presentations are tailored specifically for the occasion. Here are some examples of previous presentations.
Michael Dansinger, MD, is a weight loss and nutrition expert who advised NBC’s inspirational reality show “The Biggest Loser” for 10 years. He will share his insights and opinions about the global obesity epidemic, popular weight loss diets, weight loss and regain in Biggest Loser participants, obesity surgery, reversing type 2 diabetes, the USDA food plate, how to feed your children, and what to do about “decadent mouth-watering quadruple-layer chocolate molten-lava fudge cake.” During the presentation Dr. Dansinger will entertain, inform and inspire the audience with three of his original rhyming poems: “Modern Food,” “A Diabetes Reversal Equation” and “The Heart of the Apple.”
A 60-minute PowerPoint presentation with over 200 colorful, humorous, and informative slides with audio enhancements. Appropriate for the general public and health enthusiasts.
Starting with a laugh-out-loud introduction acknowledging our love/hate relationship with unhealthy food, Dr. Dansinger discusses how and why the societal epidemics of obesity, diabetes, and related health problems have reached such desperate proportions. Can we reverse the trends? Dr. Dansinger provides some of the optimism and insightfulness necessary for our society to conquer this “mission impossible,” and teaches the audience how individuals can rapidly reverse or prevent obesity and diabetes. Based on his inspirational work with NBC’s The Biggest Loser, and his own Diabetes Reversal Clinic, he shares his principles of “strategic eating” and “accelerated weight loss” and demonstrates how some individuals on the show lost up to 100 pounds in 3 months, or even 200 pounds in under a year. The challenge is keeping it off, and Dr. Dansinger will share his vision for doing so.
A 50-60 minute PowerPoint presentation with over 150 colorful, humorous, and informative slides with audio enhancements. Appropriate for the general public and/or health professionals.
Primary care providers typically feel beaten down by obesity-related medical problems, especially type 2 diabetes. While most clinicians agree that lifestyle change can be potent medicine in principle, many have found it impractical, ineffective, or downright hypocritical to preach lifestyle change in today’s clinic environment. In this presentation, Dr. Dansinger provides an engaging and informative discussion of the underlying causes of society’s obesity and diabetes epidemics, the role the medical establishment should play in prevention, and what primary care practices can do to reduce type 2 diabetes in their patient population. He discusses principles of “accelerated weight loss” under idealized conditions, provides dramatic reminders about the power of lifestyle change, and motivates providers to learn to harness that power for use in the clinic. He details the techniques he uses in his own Diabetes Reversal Clinic to identify patients amenable to lifestyle change, and explains how to coach motivated patients to achieve diabetes remission or substantial medication reduction.
A 50-minute PowerPoint presentation with over 150 colorful, humorous, and informative slides; appropriate for primary care providers, dietitians, medical students, residents, and other health professionals.
There are countless diets and eating strategies out there—which one is right for you? Dr. Dansinger has been a leader in the science of dietary matchmaking for over 15 years. He starts the discussion by reviewing lessons learned from his landmark clinical trial comparing the Atkins, Zone, Weight Watchers, and Ornish diets for weight loss and cardiovascular risk reduction published in 2005. He then outlines the scientific rationale for dietary ultra-personalization using a combination of specialized blood tests for lipid, cardiometabolic, inflammatory, and genetic biomarkers, plus patient food preferences to implement an evidence-based approach designed to maximize patient adherence. Finally, he discusses patient data from his lifestyle program based on this approach including a published 1-year randomized clinical trial with police officers and firefighters. Audience members will come away with a solid understanding of the science of dietary matchmaking and ultra-personalization.
A 50-minute PowerPoint presentation appropriate for preventive cardiologists, primary care providers, lifestyle medicine practitioners, integrative clinicians, naturopathic doctors, dietitians, medical students, residents, and other health professionals.
