Ever thought about the unseen forces shaping your health? The invisible threads that bind our health to our surroundings and community stand under the spotlight in this gripping episode. As your host, I walk you through two starkly different chapters of my life. From a video-game playing, pizza-loving college student in Indiana to a health-conscious beach dweller, I share how these contrasting environments impacted my health dramatically. 

But this isn't just about my story; it's about yours too. We explore how the global pandemic has, for better or worse, made us all more aware of the role our environment and community play in our health. We delve into the 'quarantine 15' weight gain phenomenon and the loss of community connections, looking at the big picture of how social determinants of health (SDOH) shape our lives. And we don't stop there. We discuss the invaluable lessons from the pandemic and how we can strengthen our SDOH. This episode also introduces you to the dedicated community at Encore Research Group and how joining a clinical trial could not only give you access to cutting-edge research but a community committed to health. Get ready to rethink your health through the lens of community and environment - and take a step towards a healthier you.
