Role of Physical Therapy in Disease Prevention
09/27/24 • 31 min
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. You can keep in touch with Jackie DeAngelis on by going to X (formerly Twitter) @JackieDeAngelis.

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.
