Cleveland Clinic's Dr. Michael Roizen talks on 'staying young' in Palm Beach
When you announce a talk on "Staying Young" in Palm Beach, expect a packed house. Reservations quickly filled seats for Dr. Michael Roizen's lunch lecture Thursday at Club Colette, so presenter National City Private Client Group added a morning session with Roizen, chief wellness officer of the Cleveland Clinic, at the bank's Royal Palm Way office. People too often blame genetics for their health issues, but behavior contributes heavily to the nation's physical woes, according to Roizen, co-author with cardiothoracic surgeon Mehmet Oz of You: Staying Young: The Owner's Manual for Extending Your Warranty, their latest best-selling how-to health guide. Sedentary lifestyles and poor eating habits have created an epidemic of obesity and greater need for acute medical care as the American population ages, Roizen said.
