When it comes to your health, the reality is your blood pressure check isn’t enough. But the good news is there are plenty of small actions we can take every day so that we feel better — and never settle for less when it comes to our own wellbeing.

The more you embrace maintaining good health, the better opportunity you create for living a more energetic, joyful, and meaningful life.

My guest today is Dr. Allison Fox. She's a practitioner of integrative and functional medicine in Maplewood, New Jersey. I'm so happy that she's joining me today to discuss a more expansive way of thinking about health.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What integrative and foundational medicine really is — and why we should care
• The #1 goal of preventive healthcare vs. simply treating symptoms of illness
• Common healthcare dilemmas that men face in their 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s
• What value you can learn from functional medicine (even if you’re skeptical)

• How we can address the concern of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s

• Which form of exercise is incredibly valuable for your bone health

• Dr. Fox’s advice on three simple ways to take care of yourself every day
