I have to admit I got teary-eyed when he said this, since this is my vision too. As a future Family Physician I wish to empower my patients to do the same. To take control of their lives and the lives of their children and attack our health issues at the core. Our households.
Looking for a good read? I recommend Brain Rules by John Medina. It’s a book about 12 principles for surviving and thriving at work, home and school. It teaches you, in simple terms, how your brain works and how to maximize its potential. This author highlights some important concepts about our daily lives: sleep and stress. He explains how these affect our brain, our learning process and our health. Furthermore, he also stresses on the importance of exercise and how it is a great and underutilized prevention tool. I won’t tell you more because you should read it!
