    A Better Healthcare Consumer

    This past week on the radio I had my sister, Celeste Galati, RN, on the program with me to talk about the challenge we have with health literacy and how this contributes to poor health and chronic disease. There's no doubt that much of the chronic disease we see is related to lifestyle choices we make. What we eat, how much exercise we get, alcohol consumption, and sleep are all decisions that impact our health and wellness. There are basic health education deficits that the public has which contribute to the chronic disease that we see every day. By understanding personal risk factors, lifestyle modifications, and what steps need to be taken are all important aspects of stemming the tide of chronic disease.

    Cost of Healthcare

    The cost of wellness is indeed a significant topic that often goes under-discussed. The numbers regarding healthcare expenses in the United States highlight the profound impact of chronic diseases on both individuals and the economy. Chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes not only lead to substantial healthcare costs but also affect productivity and personal finances.The ripple effects on caregivers, who often face financial and career challenges, further emphasize the need for a more comprehensive approach to wellness. Addressing lifestyle choices that contribute to chronic diseases could potentially alleviate some of these burdens. Encouraging healthier lifestyles, improving access to preventive care, and fostering education about wellness can play crucial roles in reducing the prevalence of chronic diseases and their associated costs.By focusing on preventive measures and making informed lifestyle choices, individuals can not only improve their own health outcomes but also contribute to a more sustainable healthcare system. The conversation around wellness and its costs is essential in shaping policies and practices that promote healthier communities and reduce the financial strain on individuals and the healthcare system as a whole.Visit https://www.drjoegalati.com for more information.

    Role of Physical Therapy in Disease Prevention

    This week on Your Health First we are talking physical therapy. You need to invest in your physical strength, balance, and agility as we age. Alison Teheng, from Burcutt Physical Therapy and Wellness Center, was our special guest. We reflected on the need to seriously take stock in our own strength and how it impacts on our long-term health and wellness, and what you can do to delay or prevent the onset of chronic disease. Alison gives numerous good tips and insight on strategies we need to think about. As we like to say, you don’t want to start investing in your health once chronic disease sets in. You need to be 10 to 20 years ahead of chronic diseases to make sure that you do all that you can to avoid them.

    Conversation with Jackie DeAngelis About Breast Cancer

    This episode of our podcast focuses on breast cancer awareness. Our special guest in the SiriusXM studio in New York City is Jackie DeAngelis with the Fox Business Network. Jackie is the co-host of the Big Money Show which airs Monday through Friday at 1 PM EST on the FOX Business Network. Jackie has been a guest on our program before and has shared her health journey with breast cancer.  Her breast cancer was first identified at the time of her first mammogram which was done when she was 40. Much to her astonishment, the mammogram was abnormal, consistent with breast cancer, and she outlines her diagnosis and surgical course over the past few years. The big take-home message is to get screened appropriately, understand your family and personal risk factors for breast cancer, and strive to maintain a healthy lifestyle that will reduce your risk of not only breast cancer, but other chronic disease.

    Dads that Cook

    In this episode, we introduce you to Michael Varieur. He is a father of three young children and takes cooking for his family quite seriously. Mike is a tinkerer in the kitchen, experimenting with new techniques always trying to figure out a new and better way to prepare food.  While he admits that he is not perfect in the meals he prepares, meaning that some of them are not the most nutritious, he is Willing to experiment and strive to make a better meal from scratch.  I highlight my Mike because from my vantage point in the clinic, listening to patients with chronic disease all day long, the vast majority of them do not feel very comfortable cooking and experimenting in the kitchen. There is a certain level of dependency on processed foods, drive through, and lackluster meals made at home. There isn't much excitement these days in the kitchen or around the kitchen table.  This situation needs to change if we are going to rescue the health and wellness of our children and combat the chronic disease that millions upon millions of Americans face.
