Description

Dr. Harlan Weisman M.D. is a cardiologist and biotech leader with over 30 years’ experience in biomedical research and invention. Join Chef David Bouley and Dr. Weisman as they discuss his interdisciplinary approach to heart health, nourishing your body and soul. 

“We have billions of bacteria, viruses and fungi living on and inside of us that we have co-evolved with over thousands of years that are essential for our health and well-being—the microbiome.  Over the last half century, we have damaged this complex ecosystem through changes in diet and lifestyle.  In parallel we’ve seen an exponential rise in autoimmune disorders, allergies, obesity, diabetes, heart disease and stroke.”

Dr.  Weisman will discuss an integrated approach to restoring the health of our microbiome through a healthful diet, regular exercise, adequate rest and stress reduction that can help us attain physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.

Dr. Weisman’s presentation will be followed by a wellness-inspired multi-course dinner created and prepared by Chef David Bouley.
