After serving as the Chief of Plastic Surgery at the St. Elizabeth Boardman Hospital in Youngstown, Ohio, he moved to Los Angeles because he "wanted a bigger stage for my nonprofit," R.E.S.T.O.R.E. "I would like to do free plastic surgery all over the world to touch more hearts and restore more souls."

His health philosophy: I do believe that health is wealth. If one is healthy, one can generate wealth. When it comes to plastic surgery, I treat patients the way I want to be treated. We treat our patients like family. Everybody is individualized, there is no one solution for all.

The last TV show he loved: Last year during the beginning of the pandemic, I binged watched a show called Money Heist on Netflix, and I cannot wait for it to come back.

The former emergency room physician is now the editor-in-chief of Kaiser Health News, an independent non-profit news service focusing on health and health policy. Rosenthal previously spent 22 years as a reporter and senior writer at the New York Times. She is also the author of An American Sickness: How Healthcare Became Big Business and How You Can Take it Back.

Her health philosophy:

Every patient should be his or her own advocate. Feel empowered to partner with your doctor, ask questions, and challenge treatments or bills that don't make sense. Exercise. Eat healthy. Don't worry too much about every ache and pain — the body has capacity for self-healing.

Her favorite midday snack:

Fruit or popcorn.

The last TV show she loved:

I have two: The Resident and The Crown — though I confess a soft spot for American Idol.

The clinical psychologist and Executive Director of Innovation360, an outpatient treatment center focusing on mental health issues and substance abuse, has 20 years of research and counseling.

His health philosophy:

Think Broader. We think too narrow about our health, medicine or seeing a professional. Life is full of therapeutic things if we will only look – coffee with a friend that really knows you (and you know them), a walk in the mountains, a good night sleep, a healthy meal, or quiet time in a spiritual place.

His favorite midday snack:

An apple. Unless I can count coffee.

The last TV show he loved:

Honestly? Game of Thrones. It's a love story.

The New York City-based Medical Director of Ingleton Dermatology is a national authority in general and cosmetic dermatology, skincare products and treatments. She is also a noted leader in treating ethnic skin, adult acne and in cosmetic laser surgery.

"I believe that health is multifaceted and defined differently for each individual. It's not just about your weight. It's emotional and mental health, physical health, and cognitive health.

Her favorite midday snack:

"Apples with some peanut butter to dip!"

"I always tell people that what happens between visits to the doctor is the biggest factor in how long and how well you live," he says. "Partner with your doctor, but no one should know more about your health than you. I call it being the CEO of your own health — it's an important job!"

His health philosophy:

"The main ingredients to good health are simple addition and subtraction: more movement, less sitting; more fiber, less sugar; more quality sleep, less wasteful screen time."

His favorite midday snack:

"Mixed nuts. They taste great and are full of fiber and healthy fats to keep you satiated and act (ironically) as a great weight loss tool."

The last TV show he loved:

Her favorite midday snack:

"With two young children at home, I am surrounded by Goldfish crackers at all times, so basically I have no choice. At least they come in a variety of flavors."

The last TV show she loved:

"It was only two seasons long, but I loved The Knick. I love historical fiction, and The Knick is about as good as it gets."

The New York City-based trainer, who works with Jennifer Lopez, Heidi Klum and others, focuses on a holistic approach to wellness that encompasses exercise, nutrition and more.

His health philosophy:

"The main ingredients for optimal health come from a combination of balanced healthy eating and movement. One needs to wake up every day connecting mind and body, and be mindful of what we eat and how much we move on a daily basis. Last, but not least, I strongly believe in daily meditation."

Her health philosophy:

"First, knowing what scientifically-based factors can impact good health from multiple areas (e.g., diet, exercise, mental health, behaviors, social support, work/school, genetics, spirituality). Second, learning positive (science-based) strategies to address these factors. And, equally important, identifying and reaching out for support from many different sources as we try our best to reach and maintain good health."

Her favorite midday snack:

"When does chocolate not apply? And, an apple with peanut butter."

The last TV show she loved:

"There are so many to choose from that my DVR stays very busy. For a laugh, Big Bang Theory. For a cry, This Is Us. And if you had sent this to me in a few weeks, it would be March Madness!"
