#1089 The Doctor Who Prescribes Cuddling - Dr. Marc Cohen

Dr. Marc Cohen prescribes cuddling, laughing, lying on the floor with your dog, yoga, dancing, barefoot walking, writing poetry, sunshine and every now and then, if there’s no other option, he prescribes a drug. Marc is a registered medical practitioner with degrees in western medicine, physiology and psychological medicine along with PhDs in Chinese medicine and biomedical engineering. He’s a doctor three times over. Literally. In 2002 he became Australia’s first Professor of Complementary Medicine and Head of the Department of Complementary Medicine at RMIT University, which was by far the largest such department in the country with around 100 staff and 1000 students. He has spent more than 30 years practicing and researching holistic health and published more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific papers and many books and technical texts on wellness and natural medicine. He is one of Australia’s pioneers of integrative and holistic medicine and has made significant impacts on education, research, clinical practice and policy. Enjoy.
