Talking about chronic disease isn't just that sexy

Dr. Jacob Kendall demystifies health(care) via his speaking engagements and workshop facilitating. He is the survivor of two open-heart surgeries at a young age and has formal training in gerontology, public health, social work, biology, and theology. Jacob believes the key to mastering health is a convergent 4-dimensional approach, integrating multiple perspectives to show that health is more than individualistic, medical, here, and now. Gerontology fascinated him as a necessary dialog across all different disciplines when it comes to aging. We talked about: what inspired a young man to be interested in the science of aging how it's connected to chronic disease, social work, caregiving  how it's fascinating for him to connect the dots what an aha moment he had in Africa what his own medical challenges taught him about navigating the medical system, especially insurance What chronic disease advocacy, aging, and caregiving have in common What became a new level of insight and enlightenment and how his priorities changed How to become more critical thinkers when it comes to our health "People are terrible at planning for crises – we don’t address them until the crises hit." Dr. Jacob Kendall   "I firmly believe that if everyone walked even just 10-15 minutes daily, so many of our society's issues would not exist or wouldn’t be so bad. And I don’t just mean it in terms of health, I mean it in terms of political polarization, and other systemic issues that exist in every single aspect of life. I firmly believe that. We can sit here and say: “Well, that’s such a simple solution! Just go outside and walk for a few minutes…” But we still don’t do it!"   WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/2mrJSl7S-u8  If you want to reach out to Dr. Kendall, here is the best contact info:   WEBSITE: https://jacobevanskendall.com LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacobevanskendall/   If you enjoyed this episode, please SUBSCRIBE to my channel so you don't miss another inspirational story like this.
