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. If you want to learn more, I've written about in on the Stronger In Motion Blog and was inspired by a similar, longer piece written by the great and powerful Dr. John Rusin, DPT for his website.
This information may scare some of you, but these are facts. Facts don't care about your feelings, because your feelings don't change the facts. For many American's, it's time to face the music - we are losing our health at rates far beyond any other developed nation. It's time to demand better of ourselves and for ourselves.
And it can start with one small step today!
I wish you luck,
David
