Impact Goal Rush

Author of the Get Well Johnny Book series, Dr Pooch is a holistic health education expert. In this episode he talks about his journey writing and creating this series of kids education book for holistic health.

The Get Well Johnny books are a perfect way to introduce holistic health to children K-3rd grade. With childhood obesity at an all time high and diabetes a common ailment, health literacy is the best form of medicine and prevention for our children today and generations to come.

Health literacy is not taught in schools, so reading the Get Well Johnny books, children become more aware of the innate goodness of natural products. Whether at home or an academic environment, holistic health literacy reminds adults of what children inherently know: health is wealth.
