Prevention is the way to eliminate this country's multi-trillions of dollars in healthcare costs. It's not sexy, but it starts with you. How?

Many people are afraid to take time off. Well, Dr. Wool is sorry to break it to you but at work, you are not as important as you think. It is critical for selfcare to stay home when sick and take mental breaks and vacations. Your company even wants you to. So why does time off cause more stress? Are your people trained to handle things without you? Are you?

We let in a lot of stress. But how are you getting it out? In this short OYC episode, we learn that Dan rages against the machine in his journals and pounds emotions into pavement on walks -- and is two weeks from med school graduation.

How can you remove that one obstacle that unlocks it all? Dan talks with life coach Jamil Sayegh (IG: @thelifedoc) author of the eBook “20 Steps to Your Next Breakthrough”. His enthusiasm and thirst for knowledge has led him to conquer his own health concerns and to help others regain their vitality. Jamil helps his clients transform their lives in 4 key areas: health, relationships, success and fulfillment. He is a Fordham University graduate and is currently completing his medical degree at SCNM in AZ

Grief affects us all. Barry Kluger joins us today to discuss the importance of grief and its curious nature in the workplace. Barry is a 40-year communication executive and an advocate for grieving families. In 2001, he experienced every parent’s worst nightmare - he lost his only child, Erika, in a car accident. He is partnered with another grieving dad, Kelly Farley, to advocate for an amendment to the Family and Medical Leave Act that would enable unpaid time off to grieve the death of one's child.

Dr. Guillermo Ruiz, NMD is a naturopathic physician and host of the "30/30 Health Podcast". Today we discuss practical nutrition ideas for busy people at work, what a paleo-style diet is (and isn't), the basics of thyroid and adrenal health, what stress does to your body -- and how to make the perfect cup of coffee. We also talk about Dr. Ruiz's groundbreaking research with botanical medicines to combat drug-resistant bacteria. Enjoy the show!

This is a short prequel episode where I provide an overview of the podcast in general and share my journey from stressed-out corporate life to naturopathic medical school. I also get into some reasons our "too big to succeed" health care system fails us and why that's a wake up call to take care of yourself.
