Glass Half Healthy

As part of my Season 2 Launch Series, these episodes are a collection of short length talks on defining health.  The starting point for changing our lifestyles begins with examining our thoughts around health.  So this a thought experiment designed to challenge the way you’ve previously thought about health to help redefine it for yourself.  That said, my next Launch Series guest is Dr. Nicole Harkin, MD.  Dr. Harkin is a preventive cardiologist board certified in Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Echocardiography, Nuclear Cardiology, and Clinical Lipidology. She is founder of Whole Heart Cardiology - a preventive telecardiology practice with the mission of providing cardiac optimization through precision and lifestyle medicine.  Her passion comes through on her Instagram page where she discusses topics on preventing heart disease through healthful, sustainable lifestyle changes.  And Dr. Harkin is here to tell all of us how she defines health.  I hope her message helps to redefine what health means for you.
