That your fattening lifestyle drives health insurance costs up is nothing but a fat lie. That much I have told you in
the previous post. With Marlboro Man and Ronald McDonald doing better for your
health insurer's balance sheet than Healthy Living, you might think that public
health should look beyond economics as an argument for health. In this post I will tell you why they
shouldn't.
Our best bet for healthy aging is to escape the flawed health care system. It makes disease treatment more profitable than prevention. It neglects aging as a treatable cause of diseases. And it denies access to personalized lifestyle medicine. This blog is about how you can overcome these limitations. It is about challenging half-truths and outdated ideas. It is focused on evidence-based, personalized lifestyle medicine for lifelong health. Delivered by a feisty public health scientist.
