What You Don’t Know Can Kill You!
Hello, LWA Seekers of Greater Well-Being!
This is NOT a scare tactic. This is reality. I have another unfortunate story to share that I just heard yesterday from my neighbors. One of their longtime friends, a woman in great health in her 70s, recently died in the ICU from sepsis (a blood infection). It started as a bladder infection she didn’t even know she had, then spread to her kidneys, then her blood. The same thing happened to one of my best friends last year. Although she was in great health, she ended up in the ICU with sepsis that also started as a bladder infection. Fortunately, she survived after a lengthy hospital stay. Ladies, this is preventable! Keeping the vagina and bladder healthy is extremely important, and simple. We’ll cover all the doable strategies on Day 2 at LWA at Cedarbrake, along with many other preventable diseases specific to women such as osteoporosis. And there’s more!
How many of you know someone who seemed “healthy” but suddenly “keeled over” from a heart condition — no warning, just working in the yard or doing some other routine activity? We all have. Why does this happen? I’m amazed that most people over age 50 are not aware of simple, INEXPENSIVE tests that can diagnose treatable heart problems.
And how about other preventable conditions like joint issues? How many of you know someone who’s had a knee or hip replacement or shoulder repair? Many of these surgeries could have been prevented, managed without major surgery? The prevention landscape is changing, and we all need to know our options for greatly reducing illness and death from numerous health conditions.
Understand, it’s not your healthcare provider’s fault. As a practicing physician, I can tell you we don’t have time to cover all these issues. Our main focus is diagnosing health problems and treating disease. Plus, most healthcare providers are not trained in wellness. While I’m dedicated to learning the latest in achieving greater longevity and livelihood, I don’t have hours with each patient to go over all the modalities proven to keep us healthy. It’s up to US to invest in wellness. That’s what the wellness crowd does.
Learn from the experts! I’m excited about the KNOWLEDGE that will fill the room at LWA at Cedarbrake, covering every aspect of life: Physical, Emotional, Social, Financial, and Spiritual. The speaker lineup is impressive, plus several registrants have agreed to share their own expertise. I can’t wait to learn from them! REGISTER NOW! Registration closes Monday, August 10.
