Ep. 46 | Let's Talk Health Literacy!

Have you ever received a diagnosis, treatment, or basic advice from you or your loved one's doctor and found that all of it went in one ear and out the other? This week, we discuss what it means to be health literate, for the purpose of understanding the intricacies of your own health, as well as the health of your aging loved one. Diseases, unnecessary side effects, and even death in some cases can be avoided if we build a better working understanding of the jargon used by our health care provider. At the end of the day, one main theme seems to ring true throughout most all of our episodes... Prior proper planning is the key to success!!  Show Notes: Julie's Uplifting Story of the Week: https://www.guideposts.org/better-living/positive-living/how-to-find-happiness-in-the-second-half-of-life Inga's Uplifting Story of the Week: https://jongordon.com/positivetip/critics.html Watch the Video: https://youtu.be/9ok6ALPKUB0 Follow Inga & Julie!
