Guests: Jacob Bor, SD, Associate Professor, Departments of Global Health and Epidemiology, Boston University School of Public Health; Michael E. Bird, MSW, MPH (Kewa Pueblo), Past President of the American Public Health Association.

Description Dr. Jacob Bor and Michael Bird paint a chilling picture of how Native Americans are dying as early as residents of a third-world country like Bangladesh, rather than having the longevity benefits enjoyed by most of those living in the United States. You will learn how these startling death rates have not been recognized until recently, due to the misclassification of many Native Americans.

During the interview, she describes what it was like to follow the daily schedule, interact with staff, and engage in the structured lifestyle interventions.

Dr. Sonja explains how the program’s environment, routines, and education helped her see its impact more clearly. She also highlights how the approach can be highly beneficial for people dealing with chronic conditions. These include obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
