“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
– World Health Organztion

The latest scientific research tells us that we have far more control over our health than we may have once thought.

While all of us are products of our genetic inheritance, we retain a tremendous amount of control over how we leverage this endowment.

Nutrition plays a critical role in determining which genes are expressed, good and bad. Proper nutrition prevents damage and supports the body’s response to inflammation, often mitigating disease before rising to the level of medical intervention.

Lifestyle choices contribute to our health and longevity – e.g., body weight, regular exercise, adequate sleep, mindfulness, optimism, purposeful work, healthy relationships, active social engagement, and effective stress management.

Environment also exerts a strong influence – i.e., the health and safety of our communities, the stability and harmony of our home lives, the atmosphere in our workplaces, and the people with whom we associate.
