A specialist in internal medicine, Dr. Bob Gleeson's primary interest lies in promoting health and preventing disease. He is currently Vice President and Medical Director of Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance where he has studied people's behavior and its effect on health and life expectancy for 25 years. Dr. Bob is also President and Chief Medical Director of Health Now, LLC, a firm that promotes health and consults with business in achieving better health in the workplace.
Studying the healthiest people and learning what these people do to stay so healthy has been Dr. Bob's focus throughout his professional life. He is dedicated to promoting the best health on both a personal and corporate level.
Time and time again, solid and universally consistent scientific data has supported the benefits of a healthy life style. Dr. Bob uses this research to deliver a convincing message: Science can tell us how to lower the risk of heart disease by 80%, type 2 diabetes by 80%, and cancer by 50%.
Our challenge for the 21st century is to adopt these lifestyles. Meeting these goals even halfway will substantially reduce health care costs, decrease the incidence of chronic diseases, lower disability rates, and increase healthy and active living for more of us.
Dr. Bob writes and speaks frequently on these topics. His most recent book, "What Healthy People Know," was published in June 2005. He is an industry leader and spokesperson on issues involving life insurance and actuarial studies, longevity, genetics, heart disease, and HIV.
