Like most people, you probably regard your health as a top priority. But are you investing enough time, effort—and yes, even money—in being as healthy as possible? As chiropractor Peter May points out, once people develop a major illness, they will do whatever it takes to get better: “Spare no expense! Gimme the works. I want all the latest and greatest technologies: MRIs, CTs (especially those new full body scans), surgeries, drugs, tests, more tests, more drugs and more procedures.”
But while some medical procedures are unavoidable, it’s cheaper in the long run to maintain your health rather than trying to patch it up when it fails. Among other preventive strategies, May mentions hiring a health coach, buying quality foods, buying a gym membership, and getting away for the weekend. Here at La Jolla Health Coach, we like those ideas—and particularly that last one.
