Today's speaker was Dr. Dale L. Anderson, M.D., a notable, popular and entertaining speaker who practiced medicine for nearly 50 years as a family doctor, board-certified surgeon and board-certified emergency physician before retiring to focus on speaking and consulting. His “one man medicine show” is based on the notion that happy people are healthier people and that we are born with an inner pharmacy that can help us be more joyful and ageless. He preaches that good health isn't just about nutrition and exercise - that it is important to ACT happy in order to be happy. He notes that method actors have developed ways to trigger the chemistry needed for a stage role. They realize that they cannot directly control their emotions, but they know they can literally set the stage for positive emotions through factors that can be controlled. And we can do the same in our work and home lives. We can be good medicine for ourselves and others.
Dr. Anderson is an ageless 86 year old. In addition to his speaking career, he has authored three books, one of which is entitled "Muscle Pain Relief in 90 Seconds".
