Description
Today, the world is facing a serious health crisis that’s pretty similar to another catastrophe nearly 100 years ago although we have more knowledge and tools at our fingertips than ever before to make a positive and meaningful impact on our health.
However, today’s challenges are so grave what passes for modern medicine has shifted the goalposts so much that being obese is considered normal and healthy.
Paul and HLC Practitioner Eugene Trufkin, author of the new book American Culture and Normalized Pathology: When Obesity, Misery, Medical Drug Dependence and Disease Becomes a Normal Way of Life ( https://link.amazon/B04dwajDi ), share their vast expertise on living a better, healthier life by mastering simple principles this week on Spirit Gym.
