Connie’s comments:

Our primary focus as a consumer is health education, health empowment and efficient use of technology for our benefit.

How do we learn about health? Read, study and ask your doctors/health providers. They are your first teacher. Some of us, know more nutrition than our doctors. We can assign medical diagnosis to our doctors and equip ourselves with nutrition knowledge from all sources, science, our kitchen and ethnobotany.

How do we motivate ourselves on wellness and maintaining good health? We partner up with our fitness coaches and fitness buddies, we align ourselves with the latest health innovation and health promoting activities and communities and maintain our open communication with our doctors and health care providers.
