Summary Profile

Take a doctor who can sing, add a wild sense of humour and the ability to see things from a bizarre point of view and you have Doctor Gilles Lapointe. Dr. Lapointe graduated from Laval Medical School in 1974, and is a member of the Professional Corporation of Medical Doctors of the Province of Quebec.

Dr. Gilles Lapointe focuses on the importance of attitude in life. In his hilarious presentation, he helps individuals cope with stress by introducing the 7 laws of success. Strategies for handling tough days, self-image, simplicity in life, dignity and human pride are addressed in his humorous, yet insightful presentations.

As host of the popular daily television show, Allo Docteur, on Canal Vie, Dr. Lapointe became well known for his hilarious presentations on healthy living and coping with stress. He is fluently bilingual, an accomplished musician and extremely entertaining - his keynotes bring audiences to their feet and tears of laughter to their eyes.

Dr. Lapointe believes in the "whole-person" concept of healthier living and that our physical health is entirely dependent upon our mental and emotional heath.

He is particularly interested in sports, stress and the quest for a better lifestyle. Since 1981, through his lectures in Canada, the United States and Europe, Dr. Lapointe has been pursuing his goal to make people aware that life is fun!

He is the author of the best-selling book Docteur, Aidez-Moi! (Doctor, I need help) and has produced 2 videocassette series on health - Savoir Produire sans se Detruire (Being Productive Not Destructive) and Le Succes par la Sante (Success Through Health). He has lectured across Canada, in both French and English, to judges and attorneys, sales representatives, civil servants and medical practitioners, to name a few.

Client Testimonials

“Dr. Gilles Lapointe was perfect as the final "wrap-up" speaker at our National Conference. He spoke to our delegates on the very real subject of dealing with stress as a professional (especially in the health care industry). We had a larger attendance to our final session than ever before, and the delegates were overjoyed with his upbeat, humorous and helpful presentation. I highly recommend Dr. Lapointe. He certainly "wowed" our audience.”
