Physician Speaker Diet, Heart, and Brain Health

Steven Masley MD is a physician, heart health speaker, nutritionist, trained-chef, author, and the creator of the #1 health program for Public Television, 30 Days to a Younger Heart. He helps motivated people tune up their brain, heart, and performance.

He is a fellow with the American Heart Association and the American College of Nutrition, and a former fellow with the American Academy of Family Physicians. His research focuses on the impact of lifestyle choices on brain function, heart disease, and aging. His passion is empowering people to achieve optimal health through lifestyle.

As a best-selling author, he has published several books: Ten Years Younger, The 30-Day Heart Tune-Up, Smart Fat, The Better Brain Solution, and his latest book, The Mediterranean Method, plus numerous scientific articles. His work has been viewed by millions on PBS, the Discovery Channel, the Today Show, and over 700 media interviews.

He also completed a chef internship at the Four Seasons Restaurant in Seattle, WA, and he has performed cooking demonstrations at Cal-a-Vie Health Spa, Canyon Ranch, the Pritikin Longevity Center, and for multiple television appearances. As a speaker during his career, Dr. Masley has spoken for over 300 physician continuing medical education (CME) events, and for over 700 public presentations on a variety of topics related to health, nutrition, cognitive function, aging, and cardiovascular disease. He continues to post blogs and recipes for his website, www.DrMasley.com.

In his personal appearances, Dr. Masley and his graphic powerpoint slides grip his audiences with entertaining, medically sound advice to reduce cardiovascular risk. His listeners leave with a scientifically proven plan embedded in their thought patterns to reduce plaque in the arteries plus recipes that include heart-healthy foods and an exercise regimen that will strengthen their hearts. Best of all, his plan produces results in as little as 30 days. As a bonus, he can combine a presentation with a cooking demonstration.

“As a physician, I find our state of affairs incredibly frustrating,” writes Dr. Masley. “Nationally, we spend far too much money on procedures for heart disease that is preventable, should be diagnosed earlier, and is best treated with lifestyle changes. We often don’t act until a heart attack or stroke occurs, and by then it’s often too late. For too many people, the first symptom of heart disease is sudden—they don’t get another chance to change anything.

“Similarly for dealing with cognitive decline, our medical system typically waits until people are nearly disabled from memory loss before making a diagnosis and having very little to offer. In contrast, with the proper diet and lifestyle choices, we can actually improve cognitive function and prevent or slow memory loss, yet the key is acting early before people have lost substantial function.

“With the best nutrition and lifestyle choices, we have the potential to expand our healthspan and independence into our 90s and beyond.”
