It's time to put the "health" back in our "healthcare". Traditional doctors, including myself, are trained in "disease-care" and learn how to find (diagnose) and manage (treat) diseases. Most doctors know frighteningly little about health! I'm adding my voice to the small numbers of healthcare professionals, and the growing numbers of people looking to create and enjoy better health, who realize that our health is largely in our own hands. It is primarily through personal empowerment, education, and especially daily personal choices about what we eat, how and how often we move, and how we live, that determines our own health results. This is great news, actually: we can choose to be healthy, and to live long, vibrant, fulfilling lives, free for the most part of the need for medications, surgical procedures, and agonizing (and often dangerous!) hospitalizations.
My mission is "to inspire people to save their own lives, one lifestyle choice at a time", and to help them access information and resources that will help them achieve this goal, and more.
