Welcome to ExecutiveHealthMD, a site dedicated to supporting the good health of busy executives and leaders everywhere. Staying healthy and productive is critical to maintaining a high performance life and getting results in any enterprise.
My name in Jim Lindberg. I am a physician, author, speaker and lifelong student of anything that helps leaders enjoy the good life while contributing to the success of others and in their organizations. As a board certified specialist in Internal Medicine, practicing physician for over 25 years, former Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine, Chief Medical Officer and Chief Cook and Bottle Washer in my own private practice, I’ve cared for politicians, C-Suite executives, other professionals, physicians and leaders from every corner of the world.
My job has been to listen, advise, counsel, diagnose disease and prevent illness through every means at my disposal. In addition to having specialized in Internal and Preventive Medicine I’m intimately familiar with how Executive Health programs operate, what makes a program effective and what features are largely window dressing.
I have spent most of my time each day helping patients detect disease early, understand their health risk, develop a plan to mitigate it and stay up on the most current information related to their health. This blog is an opportunity to share the same with you, as though we were sitting in my office, and include you in the conversation acting as an advisor, counselor and educator. Rather than working with a few patients each day in my office, through this blog I can help more people stay health and enjoy life. I want this to be the “go to resource” for every executive interested in being his or her best. A few of the areas I plan to address in my weekly posts include:
- Medical Headline Commentary: I will offer a regular commentary on medical headlines that appear regarding new research or controversial opinions that make their way into the popular press. These headlines can often be misleading or sensationalized and I want to help you understand their real significance.
- Medical Literature Updates: I want you to be aware of important new research that maybe didn’t make the headlines. I will share my analysis in these updates to keep you informed.
- Book Reviews: With so many books available now addressing every area of health I want to help you decide which you should consider reading and which ones you might take a pass on. Periodically I will include comparisons of popular diet books, fitness programs, and novel health approaches including my opinion on the promises many “alternative” medicine books might make.
- Executive Health University: Here I want to build a curriculum to help you understand the testing, including laboratory work, should be included with your annual exam. In addition I will begin to post summaries of the most common medical conditions and medications that are often prescribed.
- Functional Medicine Briefing: With the explosion of functional medical information and hype out there I want to help curate and make sense of the often disparate approaches and theories that exist. With so many modalities it’s hard to separate the wheat from the chaff.
- Important Links to other sites and resources: I want to be sure and connect you with other, websites, products, resources and tools on the web that might help you improve your health and learn.
- Executive Health Program Reviews: I will be reviewing specific programs and creating a directory with my personal assessment and rating of each.
In addition I’ll be sharing commentary, opinion pieces as well as discussing what I believe are important topics including the emotional and spiritual dimensions of good health.
That’s ambitious enough for now. The subject matter could support hourly posts, but my goal is to post at least weekly. As important information becomes available I will likely post far more often to help you stay current.
Please register below to be sure and receive my latest posts and any Special Alerts I send out whenever I uncover what I believe are urgent new findings or risks – also please bookmark my site and check back often. My desire is to offer you actionable and relevant information, much of which you will only find here, with every post.
Thanks for visiting. I look forward to developing a close and valuable relationship with you as we learn together.
Sincerely,
Jim
