The State of Health Care Podcast
A Day in the Life of a Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner
Episode 5 of the State of Health Care Podcast is now live and today we are diving into the topic of Lifestyle Medicine! I have an amazing and robust discussion with Dr. Steve Feyrer-Melk, Ph.D., M.Ed., and the founder of The Body Lab at Optimal Heart Center in Scottsdale, AZ. Dr. Steve is passionate about helping people better help themselves, to live a lifestyle that fuels health and wellness in a positive and long-lasting way.
Today we are chatting about the every day activities you can do to optimize your state of wellbeing. The key to this is to fit these activities into your individual behaviors, and actions, that make sense for you and work for you. Dr. Steve believes the foundation of this is set in movement, which is the beginning of living a truly healthy lifestyle. We also speak to the importance of giving yourself time on the health journey, throwing away the scale, arming yourself with knowledge of preventative care, setting realistic goals, and truly believing that our bodies are unique to us. Get to know them, trust them, and don't believe the saying that when things start to change, "it's just due to your age."
