About Us
SuperSmartHealth empowers health and well being by incorporating the principles of Evidence-Based Medicine and Integrative Holistic Medicine to provide knowledge, support and inspiration for healthcare providers, allied professionals and consumers. Our mission is to provide a framework and resources to navigate scientific information, the healthcare system and stress and uncertainty to facilitate a partnership to better health.
SuperSmartHealth is led by Daniel Friedland, MD, a national thought leader, keynote speaker, educator, coach and consultant who is passionately committed to helping clinicians become smarter healthcare providers and patients become smarter health seekers.
Dr. Friedland understands how overwhelming it is to navigate scientific information, the healthcare system and stress and uncertainty, not only from a healthcare provider perspective, but from a patient perspective too.
He diagnosed his mother with metastatic pancreatic cancer and helped care for her in the last year of her life. In large part, SuperSmartHealth is dedicated to her memory and all health seekers who would like to take greater control to achieve their ideal vision of health and well-being.
Dr. Friedland is uniquely qualified to teach the scientific and emotional skills needed to empower clinicians and patients become smarter health providers and seekers.
He is board certified in Internal Medicine, a member of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine and the author of Evidence-Based Medicine: A Framework for Clinical Practice, one of the first books to outline methods to frame questions and find, evaluate, and apply medical literature searches to patient care – now all doctors are trained to make medical decisions this way.
During his medical training at the University of California, San Francisco, where he is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine, he founded the UCSF Medical Student Network to facilitate physician well-being and the compassionate delivery of care. Inspired by this experience, he immersed himself in the fields of neuroscience, emotional intelligence and mindfulness, conducted research on self-doubt and discovered how the powerful decision making framework of evidence-based medicine promoting scientific intelligence also cultivates emotional intelligence needed to navigate stress and uncertainty to achieve a more holistic experience of health and well-being.
In 2010, Dr. Friedland launched Timeless Reminders, an iPhone Application that enables you to navigate stress, remind yourself what’s truly important in your life, and motivate you to take action to enhance your health, well-being, creativity and success.
An expert in decision-making and promoting scientific and emotional intelligence, Dr. Friedland has delivered over a thousand programs in 45 states nationwide to physicians, allied healthcare professionals, patients, the US Army and Navy, executives and employees in Fortune 500 companies, and for Vistage, the leading global network of CEO’s.
He currently serves as the Co-chair of the Health Information Technology Advisory Board at Cal State University in San Marcos and is the President and CEO of SuperSmartHealth, which provides Seminars, Wellness Programs, Health Coaching, and Consulting.
Dr. Friedland lives in San Diego, where he enjoys surfing and life with his wife and two boys.
