In this episode I look at the true essence of health.
We live a world that is increasingly confusing in terms of health messaging and priorities given the amount of inequality in the world.
I take a look at some basics of what is important to us in our lives which people may not consider important for health but not only nourish us as humans
but are important to both our short and long term health.
