12 Building Healthy Teams Within an Organization

It is a pretty simple sentence that nearly every American has said to themselves at least once in their lives, "if you don't have your health you don't have anything." I have asked audiences all over this county to finish that sentence by giving me the tenth word, "anything" and 100% of people get it exact and on Que. Americans say they believe it but their actions don't fall in line with their beliefs. As a nation, we sit in fear everyday about homicide, we practice prevention in our lives when it comes to the threat of murder or assault. We put dead bolt locks on our doors, we have alarm systems that warn of an intruder, our dogs actively bark if someone approaches our house and some keep a loaded gun by the nightstand. I say all this, while important, it ignores a larger issue because in America it is not homicide that is our biggest risk of death, it is chronic disease. In the past few years in our country about 15,000 people die on average from homicide. The real risk comes from the CDC that reports that nearly 2 million Americans die each year from chronic diseases like, diabetes, stroke, heart disease, cancer and from complications of high blood pressure. I have spent the past 40 years reading every peer reviewed study on health and nutrition and have used my own life as an experiment in how to live a healthy life and pass it on to your teams in whatever type of business you work in at the moment. This podcast will explore these ideas.
