Next, Jonathan Chu MD, a board-certified specialist, tells us  “Over the years, in general , the American people seem to be getting sicker….  Americans seem to be declining in vitality and energy even when compared to one or two decades prior…. The health and quality of life in America has clearly and steadily been worsening”.

He goes on to tell us that cardiac disease and high blood pressure have been rising, depression and anxiety have  been increasing and substance abuse is on the rise. The CDC estimates  over half of American adults live with some sort of chronic disease. The quality of US healthcare ranks between 30th and 37th in the world.
Dr. Chu then observes that, “Prevention is infinitely more valuable than treatments”  and outlines a program based upon nutrition, exercise, sleep and mindset.
