#479 Essentials for Highly Healthy People

Highly healthy people have certain things in common. You might be surprised to learn that one of the most important is forgiveness. For optimal health, you need to look beyond your cholesterol and blood pressure numbers to the state of your relationships and your outlook on life. Self-assessment and planning for a healthy balance are indispensable, but many of us spend more time planning for financial security than for good health to enjoy it. Managing your health prospectively might be the next step to take. Guests: Walt Larimore, MD, Vice President of Focus on the Family, author of 10 Essentials of Highly Healthy People Ralph Snyderman, MD, Chancellor for Health Affairs at Duke University, President and CEO of Duke University Health System and James B. Duke Professor of Medicine. He is the first recipient of the Bravewell Leadership Award, which recognizes innovators in integrated medicine. Dr. Tracy Gaudet, Director of the Duke Center for Integrative Medicine.
