Most health solutions aren’t medical, they’re social.

Jay Parkinson — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 02:47:53 +0000

A few months ago, I discovered that my stove was broken. I've lived in the same apartment for over three years. I never cooked. I always went out to eat at restaurants in my neighborhood. I live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. We've got some of the best places to eat in all of NYC. I ate fresh, whole foods, just cooked by someone else for an obvious price premium. I formed relationships with people who worked at my favorite places. They knew me as Dr. Jay, the regular. But about four months ago, my life changed. I started spending a lot of time with someone who loves to cook. She bought Jamie Oliver's book, Cook, and we set ourselves loose trying to cook as much as we could. Then the holidays happened, and my best friend realized my new interest in cooking and bought me Mark Bittman's Kitchen Express while she got Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything from her family. And I invested in kitchen equipment I should be able to keep for the rest of my life. I now eat out once a week. Over the summer, I visited Grant in London. Grant is a regular cyclist. He had an idea-- we'd rent a bike for me in London instead of using taxis or the tube. I fell in love with biking. But not only did I fall in love with biking, I fell in love with biking with someone else as we moved from point A to point B and chatted in between. I bought a Brompton during the next visit to London and now have a portable, stylish bike I travel with all over the world. I go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week and lift weights. About two months ago, I simply got bored with weights and jumped on the stair machine. I seriously sweated at the gym for the first time of my life. I'm now at the gym 6 days a week. I decided to up the ante on my life and push my body. In the past 4 months, I've changed my life for the better in three significant ways. Why? My relationships changed, and thus my everyday changed. I began eating with someone who ate differently than me. I adopted her eating habits, which spurred me to change how I ate. I also spent more time with Grant, who introduced me to the world of urban cycling. I adopted his lifestyle and his interests. And then I changed myself and started pushing my heart in the gym. My friends were kind enough to give me the best parts of their life and I was savvy enough to implement them into my own life. On a related note, Atul Gawande's latest piece in The New Yorker, The Hot Spotters, answers the question, "Can we lower medical costs by giving the neediest patients better care?" In other words, can we lower medical costs by changing the everyday lifestyle of the neediest patients? Dr. Jeffrey Brenner in Camden, NJ found that:

Between January of 2002 and June of 2008 some nine hundred people in the two buildings accounted for more than four thousand hospital visits and about two hundred million dollars in health-care bills. One patient had three hundred and twenty-four admissions in five years. The most expensive patient cost insurers .5 million.

Brenner started finding these high cost patients and forming relationships with them. He wanted to know what the problems were and what creative, personalized solutions he could use to fix their medical problems. He found that what's traditionally been thought of as medical problems, non-compliant patients, were really social problems. One chronically ill patient Brenner "treated" was a person he called Frank Hendricks:

But, out in the world, Frank's life was simply another hospitalization waiting to happen. By then, however, Brenner had figured out a few things he could do to help. Some of it was simple doctor stuff. He made sure he followed Hendricks closely enough to recognize when serious problems were emerging. He double-checked that the plans and prescriptions the specialists had made for Hendricks’s many problems actually fit together—and, when they didn’t, he got on the phone to sort things out. He teamed up with a nurse practitioner who could make home visits to check blood-sugar levels and blood pressure, teach Hendricks about what he could do to stay healthy, and make sure he was getting his medications. A lot of what Brenner had to do, though, went beyond the usual doctor stuff. Brenner got a social worker to help Hendricks apply for disability insurance, so that he could leave the chaos of welfare motels, and have access to a consistent set of physicians. The team also pushed him to find sources of stability and value in his life. They got him to return to Alcoholics Anonymous, and, when Brenner found out that he was a devout Christian, he urged him to return to church. He told Hendricks that he needed to cook his own food once in a while, so he could get back in the habit of doing it. The main thing he was up against was Hendricks’s hopelessness. He’d given up. “Can you imagine being in the hospital that long, what that does to you?” Brenner asked.

Dr. Brenner helped Frank by giving him resources and the relationships to change his lifestyle. Only about 10% of the solutions that got Frank back on track were medical, the rest were social situations that lead to lifestyle change. This is a significant paradigm shift. The companies that realize the future of health is about life and happiness rather than sickness, death, and medical solutions are the ones that will lead in the next decade. More importantly, the companies that can find a business model around social solutions for the neediest, most costly patients, are the ones who will not only make a killing, but change the face of healthcare in the world. image via Telegramme Studio

The meal, the conversation, and the relationships formed were exquisite. Community developed. Happiness happened.

And all of this started with a random conversation between two impatient, frustrated air travelers.

Obesity spreads like a virus.

Jay Parkinson — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 09:37:21 +0000

"People were most likely to become obese when a friend became obese. That increased a person’s chances of becoming obese by 57 percent. There was no effect when a neighbor gained or lost weight, however, and family members had less influence than friends. It did not even matter if the friend was hundreds of miles away, the influence remained. But the greatest influence of all was between close, mutual friends. There, if one became obese, the other had a 171 percent increased chance of becoming obese, too. What we were able to do was to show not just that people were influenced by others, because this is common sense. But we were able to show that people were influenced by others for a class of phenomena that many people think of as deeply individualistic, like what your body size is. And we were able to show that the effects . . . don’t just spread from person to person but also from person to person to person. There is a kind of social contagion, social domino effect. Suzy makes Betty eat poorly. And then Betty makes Jane eat poorly. And Jane makes Ann eat poorly. Suzy does not know Jane or Ann, but Suzy’s behavior and actions are influencing the interaction between Jane and Ann. People often asks us, How can you be saying that obesity is contagious? The supermodels are as thin as they ever were. Part of our argument about the way obesity is contagious is that norms regarding acceptable body size are changing, and as people around you gain weight it resets your ideas about what an acceptable body size is and it creates a more permissible environment for you to gain weight. The real influence on people’s lives is not these abstract ideals – supermodels – but rather what the people around them are doing. . . . Both weight gain and weight loss spread equally. If your friends lose weight it affects you, and if your friends gain weight it affects you." via Wired Purchase at Amazon

CrEATe: Eating Design and Future Food

Jay Parkinson — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 10:35:13 +0000

"Food is not just a hot topic in design and cutting edge creativity today, but also an enormous industry with changing standards and perceptions. Based upon research by trend analysts from the London firm The Future Laboratory, crEATe. investigates recent trends and visual developments in and around food. The book examines everything from the way we eat, the interiors and furniture of innovative restaurants and shops, industrial design and the packaging of food to branding and consumerism. With incisive texts including profile features accompanied with stunning visuals, this sourcebook indicates how food is gaining new meaning in our lives and in top-notch contemporary design." I saw this book last week at Design Indaba and thought it was one of the few books out there that explored health & design. It's surely on the upcoming reading list.

Between January of 2002 and June of 2008 some nine hundred people in the two buildings accounted for more than four thousand hospital visits and about two hundred million dollars in health-care bills. One patient had three hundred and twenty-four admissions in five years. The most expensive patient cost insurers .5 million.

But, out in the world, Frank's life was simply another hospitalization waiting to happen. By then, however, Brenner had figured out a few things he could do to help. Some of it was simple doctor stuff. He made sure he followed Hendricks closely enough to recognize when serious problems were emerging. He double-checked that the plans and prescriptions the specialists had made for Hendricks’s many problems actually fit together—and, when they didn’t, he got on the phone to sort things out. He teamed up with a nurse practitioner who could make home visits to check blood-sugar levels and blood pressure, teach Hendricks about what he could do to stay healthy, and make sure he was getting his medications. A lot of what Brenner had to do, though, went beyond the usual doctor stuff. Brenner got a social worker to help Hendricks apply for disability insurance, so that he could leave the chaos of welfare motels, and have access to a consistent set of physicians. The team also pushed him to find sources of stability and value in his life. They got him to return to Alcoholics Anonymous, and, when Brenner found out that he was a devout Christian, he urged him to return to church. He told Hendricks that he needed to cook his own food once in a while, so he could get back in the habit of doing it. The main thing he was up against was Hendricks’s hopelessness. He’d given up. “Can you imagine being in the hospital that long, what that does to you?” Brenner asked.

From the New York Times:

The meal, the conversation, and the relationships formed were exquisite. Community developed. Happiness happened.

And all of this started with a random conversation between two impatient, frustrated air travelers.

Between January of 2002 and June of 2008 some nine hundred people in the two buildings accounted for more than four thousand hospital visits and about two hundred million dollars in health-care bills. One patient had three hundred and twenty-four admissions in five years. The most expensive patient cost insurers .5 million.

But, out in the world, Frank's life was simply another hospitalization waiting to happen. By then, however, Brenner had figured out a few things he could do to help. Some of it was simple doctor stuff. He made sure he followed Hendricks closely enough to recognize when serious problems were emerging. He double-checked that the plans and prescriptions the specialists had made for Hendricks’s many problems actually fit together—and, when they didn’t, he got on the phone to sort things out. He teamed up with a nurse practitioner who could make home visits to check blood-sugar levels and blood pressure, teach Hendricks about what he could do to stay healthy, and make sure he was getting his medications. A lot of what Brenner had to do, though, went beyond the usual doctor stuff. Brenner got a social worker to help Hendricks apply for disability insurance, so that he could leave the chaos of welfare motels, and have access to a consistent set of physicians. The team also pushed him to find sources of stability and value in his life. They got him to return to Alcoholics Anonymous, and, when Brenner found out that he was a devout Christian, he urged him to return to church. He told Hendricks that he needed to cook his own food once in a while, so he could get back in the habit of doing it. The main thing he was up against was Hendricks’s hopelessness. He’d given up. “Can you imagine being in the hospital that long, what that does to you?” Brenner asked.

We should follow Michael Pollan's 7 Rules for Eating:

Don't eat anything your great grandmother wouldn't recognize as food. "When you pick up that box of portable yogurt tubes, or eat something with 15 ingredients you can't pronounce, ask yourself, "What are those things doing there?" Pollan says.
Don’t eat anything with more than five ingredients, or ingredients you can't pronounce.
Stay out of the middle of the supermarket; shop on the perimeter of the store. Real food tends to be on the outer edge of the store near the loading docks, where it can be replaced with fresh foods when it goes bad.
Don't eat anything that won't eventually rot. "There are exceptions -- honey -- but as a rule, things like Twinkies that never go bad aren't food," Pollan says.
It is not just what you eat but how you eat. "Always leave the table a little hungry," Pollan says. "Many cultures have rules that you stop eating before you are full. In Japan, they say eat until you are four-fifths full. Islamic culture has a similar rule, and in German culture they say, 'Tie off the sack before it's full.'"
Families traditionally ate together, around a table and not a TV, at regular meal times. It's a good tradition. Enjoy meals with the people you love. "Remember when eating between meals felt wrong?" Pollan asks.
Don't buy food where you buy your gasoline. In the U.S., 20% of food is eaten in the car.
