Better Choices For Better Health!

I was recently interviewed by Pastor Jody Earley of Generations Church in Denver, CO. It was part of their new year’s series, Better.

I shared how anyone can take steps toward better physical health in a sustainable way. And why we should be so concerned about doing so.

Additionally, I was asked how we could take simple steps towards better family relationships. That was like throwing steak to a dog—you know I love that subject!

I hope you enjoy this video. At the end, I give a link to some resources that will help you make better choices for better health this year.
