Where do rock stars, pro athletes, actors and politicians go for their health care? We never seem to see Lady Gaga or Brad Pitt sitting in a crowded, sneezy-cough group clinic waiting room.
The rich and famous, of course, have always had access to private doctors, but many are now taking advantage of a new service called The Concierge Package at Executive Medicine of Texas in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Physician partners Mark Anderson and Walter Gaman describe Executive Medicine of Texas as “a luxury you can’t afford to live without.”
Celebrities and business barons fly in from all over the world to get first-class personal attention. Staffers at Executive Medicine of Texas arrange airport transportation and security if needed, and the patients are guaranteed complete confidentiality as they are treated to a suite of medical services, from blood biomarker testing to virtual colonoscopies, from nuclear medicine imaging to wellness and lifestyle assessments.
Patients measure their face-time with the doctors not in minutes, but in hours. Most get a half-day for the first full work-up, then follow-up visits and phone access to medical staff 24/7. When was the last time you heard a doctor say, “You can call me any time”? Patients at Executive Medicine of Texas can have their doctor on speed-dial and available whenever needed.
Dr. Anderson and Dr. Gaman won’t reveal the identities of any of their patients, but they say Executive Medicine of Texas isn’t just for celebrities. They see patients from all walks of life, as long as they can afford the fees – which aren’t all that expensive by today’s standards. The Concierge Packages start at $2,500 when added to a physical exam.
“We like people to look young and healthy. We also understand that our patients are their own biggest asset. If their health deteriorates, so does their career” said Judith Gaman, health and wellness expert and part of the Executive Medicine of Texas staff. “Starting with health on the inside and working out means long-term success and a better overall result. We even work with a world-renowned nutritionist, cosmetic surgeon and dentist to give inside/out makeovers. Lasting results – that’s what matters.”
Dr. Anderson and Dr. Gaman were both honored as “Best Doctors in Texas 2010” by Newsweek Magazine. They, along with Judith Gaman, co-host “The Staying Young” radio show, which airs Sunday mornings on three Texas radio stations and streams internationally. They have also co-authored two books, Executive Medicine: Optimizing Your Chances for a Longer Life and Stay Young: 10 Proven Steps to Ultimate Health (George House Publishing, 2010).

In our fast-paced world of longer working hours and quick distractions, it’s difficult to develop and maintain relationships that soothe the soul. Even as relationship and behavioral experts, both Pat Love and Jon Carlson found themselves battling the plague of loneliness. It was only after a momentous meeting with the Dalai Lama that Love and Carlson began to develop an effective approach that would recalibrate the way they understood relationships. Now with Never Lonely Again (HCI Books), readers will learn how to find the necessary time to maintain friendships, be truly present for a partner, and reach out to people when in need. Pat Love and Jon Carlson tackle the problem of loneliness head on, showing how to develop healthier, more emotionally satisfying behaviors that will nurture the relationships they have, and make them more open to lasting personal connections.
Never Lonely Again explains why loneliness is such a common problem in our fast-paced world; combines social science, Buddhist spirituality, and common-sense advice in an accessible and universal approach; provides a clear, practical guide for connecting conversation; and highlights the importance of meaningful work and how it can alleviate loneliness.
Other than breathing, we spend more time taking in stimulation from technology than any other activity; few moments are spent in quiet reverie let alone contemplation. There are five questions* however, which are well worth your time and attention to ponder, as they can literally change the course of your life. Never Lonely Again teaches readers how to ask these questions of themselves and find meaning in the answers.

Five Questions* from Pat Love and Jon Carlson (2011) Never Be Lonely Again: The Way Out of Emptiness, Isolation, and a Life Unfulfilled
1. Who am I? Your core values reflect who you are. Think about how you want the people you love to remember you, and then live each day demonstrating these characteristics and your life will take on a new direction and energy.
2. Am I connected? You need three to five people in your close circle of contact—people who know you and pay close attention to you; in whom you can and do confide. If you improve the quality of your connections, comfort and contentment will greatly increase.
3. Am I living in community? Invest in people outside your close circle of friends/family and you feel a true sense of well-being and belonging.
4. Are my talents being utilized in meaningful work? Work doesn’t have to be the activity for which you get paid. Talents are something you enjoy doing—when you use them to benefit others you feel productive and useful, like you are earning your keep here on earth.
5. Am I living out the purpose of my life? Chances are, if you concentrate on the other four questions you will answer yes to this question but it bears asking. Am I doing what I was put here on earth to do? What could I do that would make the answer to this question yes? Do it and your life will improve in every possible way.
