'''
For almost 40 years, Dr. Ornish has directed clinical research demonstrating, for the first time, that comprehensive lifestyle changes can begin to reverse even severe coronary heart disease, without drugs or surgery.

In 2011, Medicare agreed to provide coverage for his program, the first time that Medicare has covered a program of comprehensive lifestyle changes. He directed the first randomized controlled trial demonstrating that comprehensive lifestyle changes may slow, stop or reverse the progression of early-stage prostate cancer. His research showed that comprehensive lifestyle changes affect gene expression, “turning on” disease-preventing genes and “turning off” genes that promote cancer and heart disease, as well as the first study showing that these lifestyle changes may begin to reverse aging by lengthening telomeres, the ends of our chromosomes which control aging (in collaboration with Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn, awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine).

The research that he and his colleagues conducted has been published in the ''Journal of the American Medical Association'', ''The Lancet'', ''Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences'', ''Circulation'', ''The'' ''New England Journal of Medicine'', the ''American Journal of Cardiology, The Lancet Oncology,'' and elsewhere.
