And now he's a hypochondriac. Fact is, eat well and exercise is better advice than checking a bunch of numbers of unproven value for preventing heart disease. Doctor's don't know how to prevent heart disease, but at least one knows how to reverse heart disease. His advice is a little more extensive: eat well (mostly vegetarian), exercise, meditate, have social support and don't smoke. But it does not involve, in any way, tracking your blood test results. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Ornish http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Ornish
