Health & Fitness Friday - The American Health Emergency

There is a health emergency in this country, and it dates back far longer than this novel Corona Virus, COVID-19. But now, it's directly effecting our citizens risk of contracting the Corona Virus, as well as their risk of hospitalization and even death.We are a sick country, and unfortunately our system is set up to respond only after we become sick, rather then helping us find and maintain true health.It's a band aid approach to wellness that is not just failing us, it's literally doing us harm. Think of all of our pills and diet fads are band aids for our feet, but our collective "floor" (environment) is covered in broken glass. No sooner do we put one band aid on (call it a blood pressure pill), another shard of glass cuts us open. There are not enough band aids in the world to stop our bleeding. What we need isn't another pill, it's a paradigm shift.I hope today's episode inspires you to take control of the components of your health you have the power to impact.
