Die young as late as possible | Dr Douglas Hilbert | TEDxCambridge University

Sobre este vídeo

Dr. Douglas Hilbert argues that living longer only matters if we can stay healthy, active and fulfilled. Drawing from his experience as a doctor and his own struggles, he highlights three principles: make time for your health, recognize how relationships shape your habits, and advocate for yourself. Simple choices can prevent disease, while intentional goals and difficult conversations can help break unhealthy patterns. Ultimately, Dr. Hilbert encourages us to take control of our health and relationships so we can “die young as late as possible”—living not just longer, but better Dr. Douglas Hilbert is a board-certified Internal Medicine physician, founder of HilbertMD, and Fellow of the American College of Physicians. He founded the first Academic Hospitalist program in the US Department of Defense at Brooke Army Medical Center. His work centers on helping people live stronger, longer, and with greater purpose, grounded in resilience, discipline, and the belief that we are capable of more than we realize.
