THR | A Vital Sign

05/10/16 • 34 min

Sabrena and Matt open the show with a very detailed and nerdy plan to survive the Zombie Apocalypse. Then, we dig into a recent article discussing the addition of exercise habits as an additional vital sign at regular office visits. While we applaud this effort, we express some concerns about whether or not this is a band-aid put on a more systemic issue. And, whether a field trained in disease care has the tools necessary to manage preventative care.

THR | Are you in the 3%?

We all know that our nation's health is poor, but just how poor is it? Matt and Sabrena take a deeper look at a recent advisory article released examining healthful habits (or lack thereof) in the United States. It's no surprise to anyone that the data was staggering but even we were shocked. We discuss ways that we can begin to re-frame our thoughts on healthful living and give some practical tips for those on the front lines of our current health crisis.
