in this series, we’re exploring the balance between what you can and can’t control when it comes to your health.

On this episode, Chuck Gaidica is joined by Care Management Physician of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Dr. Angela Seabright. Together, they explore how small changes to our lifestyle now can make a big difference for our health long-term.

In this episode of A Healthier Michigan Podcast, we explore:

• How there are many factors that impact health, including lifestyle choices, aging, genetics, and family history.
• How nutrition, exercise, sleep, emotional wellness, and limiting exposure to toxins like smoking and excessive alcohol can have a big impact on our health.
• How overcoming barriers to health changes, such as lack of time, medical conditions, or social determinants, requires a flexible and strategic approach.
• The importance of getting regular preventive care.

Next up, we’ll take a closer look at the impact our genetics and family history have on our health. Ever wonder how much your health story is written in your DNA? Join us as we explore what you inherit, what you can’t change, and how understanding these factors can empower you.
