Would you have guessed that, one fine day, health insurers
will regret the demise of big tobacco and its contribution to health care
costs? Would you have guessed that, when that day arrives, health insurers
would also learn to love other frowned-upon-vices of their policy holders, such
as getting fat and lazy? Your answer is probably "no, I wouldn't have
guessed that in my dreams.".
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 It is about challenging half-truths and outdated ideas.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.
