This week we discuss spousal concordance, from the genetic, social, and the environmental factors that all contribute to not only our health, but the health of our partners (and our families). We delve into how these findings relate to other couple studies on immunity and microexpressions, and finally how cardiometabolic factors (including high BMI, hypertension, and smoking) fit into all of this. Get real with us as we reflect on these revelations and its impact on our own lives!

TLDR: Your actions and decisions have consequences, not only in your life, but also your partner’s/family’s lives.
