Dr. Hepburn and Dr. Sealey are both very sought after speakers together as Wisequacks or as a single speaker specializing in different topics. They are not limited to health conferences at all and in fact are very adroit at custom making their “edutainment” lectures for any situation or any type of conference regardless of the theme. Their most popular talks include:
1. SEVEN NUMBERS YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED TO KNOW TO…. DIE YOUNG
This is, in fact, what we as doctors want you to do. Die young…. at an old age. Predict, prevent, project and prepare. You, not your doctor, are responsible for your own health. Knowledge is power, and with health being your greatest wealth, this lecture may be the most valuable investment you ever make.
2. MEDICAL MYTHINFORMATION
Dr. Hepburn and Sealey wade through the plethora of medical misinformation that creates a cornucopia of confusion in our hi-tech fast-paced society. Discussing the top ten modern medical myths and confronting some of the ideas that are easily formed but firmly held thanks to oodles of Googles and health by “House.” “A broken clock tells the right time twice a day.”
3. THE FUTURE IS NOW
There has been more progress in medicine in the last six months than in the last 6000 years! As we balance precariously on the cusp of this remarkable third great era of medicine , the biomolecular, biointelligence revolution, Drs. Hepburn and Sealey discuss how nanomedicine, bioengineering, stem cells, genomics, epigenetics, pharmacogenomics, artificial intelligence, immunotherapeutics, etc apply to you. Medicine is now so dynamic that if your doctor is practicing the same way he/she did two years ago, they are practicing museum medicine.
4. LESSONS FROM A JUNGLE ISLAND
Practicing bush medicine and living, as the only white man among tens of thousands on the primitive island of Tanna in the forsaken part of the South Pacific, Dr. Dave Hepburn observes what we as a “civilized” society MUST learn. Dr. Hepburn finally answers some common if not minor questions ranging from the the real meaning of life, how to truly de-stress and, of course, how to fend off a raging dugong.
5. 100 WAYS TO ENJOY GROWING OLDER
Dr Hepburn expounds on his famous list published in The Doctor is In(Sane). An up-to- date, fun and informative discussion on what you absolutely MUST know to enjoy and not just endure growing older. The goal is to end up being loved by those you want to be loved by. “There ain’t much fun in medicine but there is a heck of a lot of medicine in fun.”

* ”The Wisequacks were beyond hilarious and had the huge crowd either spellbound or in stitches from the opening dancing to the Top Ten Reasons its Cool to Have Diabetes.
