Health is such a key factor in ensuring people can live their best lives. This is why I am so passionate about learning and sharing health-related findings and tips with others. I take a holistic view, and believe that the whole person’s health should not only be addressed, but also the multiple facets of an individual’s self that influence health. I also believe it is important to understand how these facets of ourselves along with health meld and interact within society and culture.
