Topic: Moderator & Speaker
Mark A. Moyad, MD, MPH, Dr. Moyad’s mission is to promote a greater attention to comprehensive lifestyle changes to improve overall mental, physical, and spiritual wellness along with contributing to more objective education on dietary supplements, OTC, and other potential health options. This has been the focus of his research, writings, and lectures his entire career. He occupies an endowed position, which was originally created and funded by the individuals he has empowered over the past 25+ years.
He is the Jenkins/Pokempner Director of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) Education at the University of Michigan Medical Center in the Department of Urology. This was one of the first endowments of its kind created for a doctor at a major medical center. Dr. Moyad has always considered himself to be first, and foremost, a public health educator with an expertise in clinical/medical epidemiology. Mark received his medical education from the University of South Florida College of Public Health and the Wayne State University School of Medicine. He is the primary author of over 150 medical journal publications on lifestyle changes and supplements, the past editor-in-chief of the medical journal Seminars in Preventive & Alternative Medicine, past CAM course director for a variety of medical societies, continues to be a guest editor and provide peer review for multiple medical journals, and he has given 1000s of lectures around the world to the public and health care professionals in virtually every medical specialty and major medical center. Mark is the author or co-author of 15 academic and consumer books, including his most recent updated 5th edition Promoting Wellness coming out late summer 2022. He now interviews other health experts on a variety of global wellness topics to enhance notable health care professional and patient education sources. He has provided educational clinical research updates for the last 20+ years to health care professionals and national patient advocacy groups. He has been a consultant and/or interviewed for most major magazines, websites, radio, and television shows devoted to health in the U.S. and appears regularly on a variety of network news/programs. Dr. Moyad also loves running, resistance exercise in moderation, artichokes, his wife Mia and kids, any University of Michigan Athletic team when they are winning, and their dog “Grazie”, but of course not in that specific order.
PS. He is also the moderator (for PCRI) of the largest patient conference in the world but hopes to relinquish this position one day soon in order to pursue his real passion and calling in life-being a part-time ESPN Sportscaster and a full-time international male model while simultaneously being further lionized by millions of fans with and without a prostate by becoming a world renowned bodybuilding champion (aka the next "Mr Olympia").
Dr. Moyad serves as a public health and education expert to the public and health care professionals around the world. He does not see patients in clinic. For any questions regarding prostate cancer, you can contact the PCRI Helpline at: help@pcri.org
