Lifestyle Medicine by Dr. Ron Hunninghake

Dr. Ron"The creation of better habits of health lies at the very heart of true health care reform.  When individuals responsibly re-form their daily choices to intelligently reflect a growing body of solid evidence that whole foods nutrition does matter, supplements can help, exercise will heal, sleep can regenerate, poor stress management does hasten sickness, and toxins silently weaken health... then, and only then, the age of lifestyle medicine will have arrived."

Read his perspective on Lifestyle Medicine.

And join Dr. Ron in the new Lifestyle Medicine zone in Delta-Exchange dedicated to meaningful discussion around Lifestyle Medicine and the importance of informed personal choice as the foundation of better health and wellness.
