Matriculation

Welcome to my blog. It's about health and wellness, how to stay healthy, and how you can take personal responsibility for you own health care.

All the politicians Washington are in a tizzy trying to argue on how they will dictate your health care based on insurance. Well, here's something to think hard about. Insurance companies are first and foremost business entities. They exist to make money. Are they interested in how healthy you are? Not a bit.

Politicians don't care if you're healthy or sick. Insurance companies don't care either.

Who does? Probably your family doctor. Who should?

You.

You are the one in charge. You are the one to make all the decisions. In the end, all the responsibility rests on your shoulders. You choose what to eat. You choose to exercise or not. You choose your outlook on life.

What's the best way to take care of yourself? By learning all you can. Only by learning can you make truly informed decisions on your health. To help you, I'll be addressing topics that you want to know more about. Just leave a comment asking about it.

Welcome.

  1. Maybe that is part of the problem, too many people are willing to put RESPONSIBILITY somewhere else. Or think it too selfish to take care of themselves. I know I fall into both of those categories at times!

  2. Dr Jensen, This is possibly the most important message that needs to be shared in the health-care world. Currently it's a misnomer and should be called the sick-care world.

    On a completely different note, could you do a blog on the constituents and safety of the n1h1 flu vaccine?
