Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel in Conversation with Jenn Sherman
Every week brings a new miracle cure — another influencer promising longevity through algae smoothies, cold plunges, or a weighted vest. The wellness world has become a $5 trillion experiment in anxiety. What if the secret to a long, healthy life isn’t found in any of it?
In Eat Your Ice Cream: Six Simple Rules for a Long and Healthy Life, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel — one of the country’s most respected bioethicists, physicians, and policy thinkers — offers an evidence-based antidote to wellness culture. Join him to hear how, drawing on decades of research and a lifetime in medicine, he has distilled the science of longevity into some surprisingly simple rules: sleep well, move often, keep learning, connect deeply — and don’t be afraid to enjoy dessert.
In this refreshingly honest and inspiring conversation, you’ll hear why the biggest predictor of a long and healthy life isn’t kale or cardio — it’s connection. Why friendships, community, and conversation do more for your health than any $20 green juice ever could. And why ice cream really might be good for you: half a cup a day has been linked to lower risks of diabetes, heart disease, and insulin resistance. Moderation, not deprivation, is the point.
Join Dr. Emanuel for a refreshingly sane conversation about what truly matters for living better and longer. No gimmicks. No pseudoscience. Just real information, real research, and the rare pleasure of hearing a doctor tell you to eat your ice cream.
