ABOUT DR. BREWER
Dr. Brewer started as an Emergency Doctor.  After seeing too many preventable heart attacks, he went to Johns Hopkins to learn Preventive Medicine.  While there, he went on the run the post-graduate training program (residency) in Preventive Medicine.  From there, he made a career of practicing and managing preventive medicine and primary care clinics.  His later role in this area was Chief Medical Officer for Premise, which has close to 1,000 primary care/prevention clinics.  He was also the Chief Medical Officer for MDLIVE, the second largest telemedicine company. More recently, he founded PrevMed, a heart attack, and stroke prevention clinic.

At PrevMed, we focus on heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline.  We serve patients who have already experienced an event as well as those who have not developed a diagnosis or event.  Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in person if you're in the Lexington, KY area.  We find a lot of undiagnosed Pre-Diabetes or Insulin Resistance.  Treating unrecognized risk factors like Pre-Diabetes allows reduction of risk and prevention of disease.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
Charite is rated as the best of over 1000 hospitals in Germany, just north of Berlin. It was built in the 1750s by Frederick 1. Over half of Germany's Nobel Prize winners in Medicine work(ed) at Charite. My daughter's graduation from Public Health at Tulane raised several issues about us reliving our past in Public Health and Medicine. We continue to focus on a cure. But it's never been the cures that have changed the course of disease in humanity. It's been changes in lifestyle. 
We cover the Bubonic plague (black death) as an example of hygiene or lifestyle vs cure. (We also mention Pickwick syndrome as a historical reminder that lifestyle is more important than medicine.)
