Welcome to Natural MD Radio, your place to hear the whole truth on health and medicine for women and children and get the tools you need to take back your health naturally starting now. I'm Dr. Aviva Rong. Hi everybody it is it is such a special privilege and just joy today to bring this

guest to you.

Dr. Frank Lippman is a friend, a colleague,

and someone with whom I share the uncanny feeling

that we are of one mind and doing our own work in two separate

bodies and so it's a real special pleasure to bring this book to you that he is bringing

to the market which is called How to be Well. When I read this book I thought

man I wish I wrote that. Frank Lippman is an incredible physician who for him

health is more than just the absence of disease it's a

total state of physical mental emotional spiritual and social well-being.

Frank is a widely recognized trailblazer and leader in functional and

integrative medicine and he's a New York Times best-selling author of five

books. How to be Well, The New Health Rules, Ten Reasons You Feel Old

and Get Fat, Rev revive, and total renewal.

After his initial medical training in his native country of South Africa,

Dr Lippman spent 18 months working at clinics in the bush,

where he became familiar with the local traditional

healers called Sangomas which kindles his interest in non-Western healing modalities.

In 1984 Dr Lippman immigrated to the U.S. where he became the chief medical resident

at Lincoln Hospital in Bronx, New York, and while there became fascinated by the hospital's

well-known addiction clinic clinic which used acupuncture and Chinese

medicine to treat people suffering from heroin and crack addiction.
