Becoming Disease-Proof
Though you may not realize it, your behavior has tremendous effects on your health, well-being, and even gene expression.

DNA is not destiny.

Andrea and Lisa are joined by renowned preventive medicine specialist, Dr. David Katz, who reveals that you can reduce your risk of any chronic disease by an astonishing 80 percent - more than any drug or intervention could ever hope to do.

Abundant scientific evidence shows that simple things - not smoking, eating well, being active, and maintaining a healthy weight - play an enormous role in your health.

Subscribing to these things is not always easy. For instance, you know that you should eat better, but you may not know how. You need to create a skill set, or skill power as Dr. Katz puts it.

Drawing upon the latest scientific evidence and decades of clinical experience, Dr. Katz arms you with the skills to make lasting changes in each of these areas.
