According to conference director Perlmutter, “Although it is the goal of human beings to be physically healthy, emotionally mature and spiritually awakened, most people, including modern healthcare providers, lack knowledge of how to attain this worthwhile goal. Understanding this dilemma, I have spent most of the past 50 years of my life studying, experimenting with, and interpreting the ancient teachings of the world’s most knowledgeable Yoga Science and Yoga Psychology medical sages. Now that the benefit of my endeavors has been clinically proven to reduce burnout and stress while increasing compassion, I will share my conclusions at this year’s AMI physicians conference. By learning to apply my curriculum, physicians will know through their own personal experience that holistic health is more than physical fitness and mental stability. Each attendee will receive a complete set of practical tools that reduce physician burnout and stress, enhance problem solving capacities, and nurture a healthier life-work balance. And when they leave this year’s conference, they will know how to take care of the body, regulate the breath, control the emotions and coordinate the 4 functions of the mind so they can rediscover their inner source of physical well-being and emotional contentment, and deepen their love of medicine and life.”
In December of 2022, “Lifestyle Medicine,” the premier international publication of applied lifestyle medicine, published the results of a five-year, peer-reviewed clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of Leonard Perlmutter’s annual Physician Conference curriculum. The findings included the following groundbreaking, life-enhancing, health-promoting changes: Burnout was reduced 23.3%, Secondary Traumatic Stress was reduced 19.9%, and Compassion Satisfaction was increased by 11.2%.
The dedication, enthusiasm, and teaching methodology of the entire AMI faculty create a dynamic and interactive experience for their students. Each faculty member is committed to the advancement and training of Yoga Science as Holistic Mind/Body Medicine. Lecture topics will include AMI Meditation, diaphragmatic breathing, easy-gentle yoga, Yoga psychology, epigenetics and neuroplasticity, resilience, how to use the chakra system as a diagnostic tool, mind function optimization, principles of Ayurveda, plant-based nutrition, and lymph system detoxification. In addition to AMI founder and curriculum developer Leonard Perlmutter, other presenters include: Mark Pettus MD, board certified internist and nephrologist and Director of Medical Education and Population Health of Berkshire Health Systems; Kristin Kaelber MD, PhD, board certified in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics; Renee Rodriguez-Goodemote, MD, Medical Director of the Saratoga Hospital Community Health Center; Anthony Santilli MD, board certified in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine; Jesse Ritvo MD, Assistant Medical Director, Inpatient Psychiatry, University of Vermont Health Center; Joshua Zamer, MD, Medical Director for Addiction Medicine at Saratoga Hospital Community Health Center and Chairman of the Department of Family Practice; Jenness Cortez Perlmutter, co-founder and faculty member of The American Meditation Institute; Anita Burock-Stotts, MD, board certified in Internal Medicine; Janine Pardo MD, board certified in Internal Medicine, and Gustavo Grodnitzky PhD, Chair of the AMI Psychological Education Committee.
According to conference alumnus Kelly Herron MD, in Obstetrics and Gynecology, “This program has been very illuminating for me at this point in my life. It has provided me with a tremendous number of tools to apply in various relationships. I now have an ongoing practice of how to live my life free of obstacles, and am more able to love my family, friends, patients and myself.”

The ranked lists were curated as the result of an independent, nationwide survey conducted over March and April of 2023, which queried more than 2,000 industry experts ranging from physicians, plastic surgeons, plastic surgery clinic managers, and health care professionals working in plastic surgery. Based on the results of this survey, a score was calculated for each of the candidate surgeons based on the number of recommendations, a quality assessment, and relevant certifications and background of the candidates.
The results were then compiled and the top 30 plastic surgeons from each category were ranked and listed by their scores, with the remaining candidates being listed alphabetically. Over 8,400 were collected, reviewed, and analyzed to help produce the score for each procedure.
When the final figures were calculated, Dr. Rohrich was ranked at number 1 for rhinoplasty surgery, number 1 for facelift surgery, number 1 for eye lift surgery, which is frequently a component of a facelift, and number 1 for liposuction. Additionally, Dr. Rohrich also ranked number 3 for breast augmentation, the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure in the United States.
A longstanding advocate for promoting both patient safety and excellent outcomes, Dr. Rohrich believes these types of independent, peer nominated awards can serve as valuable resources for helping patients seeking highly qualified surgeons and stressing the importance of maintaining high standards of patient care.
“The most important factor in all of plastic surgery, the one which determines your safety and outcome, is who you select as your surgeon,” says Dr. Rohrich, who attributes his high rankings on the list to his lifelong dedication to innovations in plastic surgery and extensive commitments as a teacher and educator. Dr. Rohrich is often invited to plastic surgery programs and training courses nationally and internationally to teach and demonstrate how to achieve safe and consistent outcomes in plastic surgery.
“I’m honored and humbled to have been recognized by my peers in this extensive and thorough analysis performed by Newsweek,” says Dr. Rohrich, who also ranked as number 1 for rhinoplasty and facelifts in Newsweek’s 2021 and 2022 features. “In plastic surgery it’s not enough to be consistent, you must be consistently exceptional.”
About Rod J. Rohrich, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Dr. Rod J. Rohrich is a board certified plastic surgeon in Dallas, Texas. He was named the top plastic surgeon in America by Newsweek in both rhinoplasty and facelift surgery in 2021, 2022 and 2023.

The fourth chapter of the multi-part study, Growing Health-related Concerns in Retirement, examines the connections between physical, cognitive and financial health as consumers prepare for and live in retirement.
This chapter also offers recommendations for financial professionals, consumers and caregivers to help ensure people have the financial resources and income needed to cover healthcare costs, long-term care needs and other health-related expenses in retirement. It also notes relevant third-party research on the confluence of aging and health, elder care, and finances.
“It is incredibly hard for people to wrap their heads around what could happen to their health 10, 20 or more years into retirement,” said Jean Statler, CEO of the Alliance for Lifetime Income. “From cognitive decline to medical emergencies, we can all benefit from putting our financial decision-making on autopilot as much as possible. One of the best ways to do that is to ensure at least part of our retirement income is protected with an annuity to supplement Social Security. Knowing you’ll always have those two monthly paychecks to cover basic expenses for life can give people tremendous peace of mind when planning for healthcare costs as we age.”
According to the National Council on Aging, a 65-year-old today can expect to live at least another 20 years. Unfortunately, nearly 95% of people 65 or older suffer from at least one chronic condition, like heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and Alzheimer’s.
However, the 2023 PRIP study notes that while many Americans are more concerned about health and want to better understand the healthcare process as they age, they often underestimate the impacts these health challenges will have on their finances and retirement planning.
Other key findings from the PRIP study include the following:
Financial Advisors Look to Protected Income When Addressing Peak 65 Health Challenges
Recent papers by ALI and the Federal Reserve indicate the peak age of financial decision-making occurs at around age 53, and according to a U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging report, there is a sharp decline in financial literacy among Americans starting around the age of 75.
Yet, many financial professionals do not engage their clients in conversations around cognitive decline, according to the 2023 PRIP study. However, those who do discuss cognitive decline also look to protected income to support the unique challenges of Peak 65ers.
Other key findings from Growing Health-related Concerns in Retirement include the following:
“Financial professionals should discuss health, including cognitive decline, and the important role that protected income can play to help manage the various health-related risks Peak 65ers could face in retirement,” said Statler. “Start these conversations now to protect your clients and their families. Research shows that it’s not just the right thing to do for your clients and their families, but can also build trust and long-term relationships with them.”
Neurosurgeon, CNN chief medical correspondent and best-selling author Dr. Sanjay Gupta appeared recently on ALI’s Protected Income TV Your Money Map Show with Jean Chatzky, Education Fellow at the Alliance’s Retirement Income Institute, and Founder and CEO of HerMoney.com to discuss ways to protect brain health and keep sharp in aging.
“Most of our brain health is within our control and is largely tied to how we live our lives,” said Gupta. “We can continue to grow new brain cells at any age. Movement, diet and rest can make a huge difference in reducing the likelihood of developing neurogenerative diseases,” said Gupta.
The 2023 PRIP was conducted among 2,507 American consumers ages 45 to 75, of which 507 are an oversample of Peak 65 consumers, ages 61 to 65, for a total of 845 Peak 65 consumers. Additionally, the study includes 519 financial professionals who conduct retirement planning for individual clients.

ABOUT THE SURVEY
The 2023 Protected Retirement Income and Planning study was created by the Alliance for Lifetime Income and CANNEX. It was conducted online by Artemis Strategy Group in February and March 2023 among 2,507 American Consumers, of which 507 are an oversample of Peak 65 consumers, ages 61 to 65, for a total of 845 Peak 65 consumers. The study also includes 519 financial professionals who conduct retirement planning for individual clients.
ABOUT THE ALLIANCE FOR LIFETIME INCOME
The Alliance for Lifetime Income is a non-profit 501(c)(6) educational organization based in Washington, D.C., that creates awareness and educates Americans about the value and importance of having protected lifetime income in retirement. Our vision is for a country where no American has to face the prospect of running out of money in retirement. The Alliance provides consumers and financial professionals with educational resources, interactive tools, and actionable research and insights to use in building retirement income strategies and plans. We believe annuities – one of only three sources of protected lifetime income – can be an important part of the solution for retirement security in America.
