The Single Well with Dr. Milah

It is estimated that on average, Americans have gained anywhere from 3-20 pounds over the last 6-7 months.  I thought it important to dissect this issue and discuss how it may impact our health in the future.  By the end of the Halloween-Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Year holiday season, we will be nearing the one year mark.  Tune in for actionable tips that may help us to move positively towards a healthier future.

When reflecting on our health and wellness, we rarely think of the effect of the environment that surrounds us.  In this episode, I had a very transparent discussion with my first guest and fellow podcaster (host of "Air Health Our Health"), Dr. Erika Maria Moseson.  She is a pulmonologist (a doctor who specializes in the lungs) and critical care specialist (a doctor who specializes in caring for patients in the intensive care unit).  I learned a ton from her about environmental health disparities, as well as the importance of physician advocacy and involvement in creating the policies that affect our health.   Dr. Moseson's motto is, "Don't light things on fire and breathe them into the lungs."  You are certain to gain a new perspective on many topics pertaining to a very simple and basic need - clean air.
