Dean Ornish Quotes

I never give up hope Picture Quote #1

Our survival depends on the healing power of love, intimacy and relationships. As individuals. As communities. As a country. As a culture. Perhaps even as a species Picture Quote #1

Eating a vegetarian diet, walking (exercising) everyday, and meditating is considered radical. Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservative Picture Quote #1

Real power is not given to us or even created; real power is realized. It comes from realizing an inner sense of peace, self-worth, and happiness Picture Quote #1

I grew up in Texas, eating meat five times a day, and I liked meat. But I began being a vegetarian when I was 19 because I found that I felt better Picture Quote #1

I’m a big admirer of Walter Willett’s work. I think he’s done some really important research. He and I agree on most things Picture Quote #1

People who are lonely and depressed are three to 10 times more likely to get sick and die prematurely than those who have a strong sense of love and community. I don’t know any other single factor that affects our health - for better and for worse - to such a strong degree Picture Quote #1

I am as non-accepting of medical quackery and unscientific approaches as anybody else. I’ve grown up as a card-carrying scientist, and I know the power of science to answer questions, and for many questions I don’t know of anything better than scientific approaches to answer them Picture Quote #1

The need for connection and community is primal, as fundamental as the need for air, water, and food Picture Quote #1

While the digital age has done so much to improve our world, it has dramatically changed our social structure, often further isolating us from each other Picture Quote #1

Curious patients are more receptive to new ideas, and those who engage their health practitioners in a dialogue are much more likely to adhere to these recommendations Picture Quote #1

The reason I spend so much of my time doing science is that the whole point of science is to help people resolve conflicting claims by saying: ‘Show me the data.’ Picture Quote #1

If I eat mindlessly while watching television, reading, or talking with someone else, I can go through an entire meal without tasting the food, without even noticing that I’ve been eating. The plate is empty but I didn’t enjoy the food - I had all of the calories and little of the pleasure Picture Quote #1

When you grow up in an extended family, or in a stable neighborhood with two or three generations of families who live there, you feel seen. Not just the good things you’ve done, the stuff you put on your resume. You know they’ve seen you in your dark times, when you’ve messed up - but they’re still there Picture Quote #1

We all know we’re going to die one day, but who wants to think about it? What’s sustainable is joy, pleasure and freedom Picture Quote #1

There’s no point in giving up something you enjoy unless you get something back that’s even better, and quickly Picture Quote #1

Whether you’re six or sixty, if you go on a diet and lifestyle program and feel constrained, you’re likely to go off it sooner or later. Offering a spectrum of choices is much more effective; then, you feel free and empowered Picture Quote #1

Even more than feeling healthy, most people want to feel free and in control Picture Quote #1

An educated patient is empowered; thus, more likely to become healthy Picture Quote #1

I usually find that the process of discovery is more interesting than the answers Picture Quote #1

People don’t dislike change, they dislike being changed Picture Quote #1

Joy of living is sustainable; fear of dying is not Picture Quote #1

The need for love and intimacy is a fundamental human need, as primal as the need for food, water, and air Picture Quote #1

When I talk about forgiveness, I mean letting go, not excusing the other person or reconciling with them or condoning the behavior. Just letting go of your own suffering Picture Quote #1

One of the reasons my father... became a dentist was so he could always be home for dinner and spend weekends with his family. At one point he had thought about being a musician, but he said, I’m not going to do that because I’d be on the road all the time and I wouldn’t be with my family Picture Quote #1

Meaning is malleable: take it out, you get nihilism and despair. Put it in, you get sacredness and something most special Picture Quote #1

Although scientists can often be as resistant to new ideas as anyone, the process of science ensures that, over time, good ideas and theories prevail Picture Quote #1

When I use the word spirituality, I don’t necessarily mean religion; I mean whatever it is that helps you feel connected to something that is larger than yourself Picture Quote #1

Poor health is not caused by something you don’t have; it’s caused by disturbing something that you already have. Health is not something you need to get, it’s something you have already if you don’t disturb it Picture Quote #1

We all know we’re going to die one day, but who wants to think about it? What’s sustainable is joy, pleasure and freedom Picture Quote #1
