Dean Ornish 2007 Dean Michael Ornish (born July 16, 1953) is a physician and president and founder of the nonprofit Preventive Medicine Research Institute in Sausalito, California, as well as Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.[1] Personal background[edit] Professional background[edit] Ornish is known for his lifestyle-driven approach to the control of coronary artery disease (CAD) and other chronic diseases.

Beginning in 1977, he directed a series of clinical research studies proving for the first time that comprehensive lifestyle changes could not only stop the progression of CAD but could actually reverse it. These lifestyle changes included a whole foods, plant-based diet,[2] smoking cessation, moderate exercise, stress management techniques including yoga and meditation, and psychosocial support. He has acknowledged his debt to Swami Satchidananda for helping him develop this holistic perspective on preventive health. Accolades[edit] Ornish D. Preventive Medicine Research Institute.
