MODULE 2: CONVENTIONAL MEDICAL MODEL​
​
In 2020, U.S. healthcare spending reached $4.1 trillion or about $12,530 per person; this amounts to about 18.5% of GDP. For this spending, one would hope that we'd have a healthy, fit, and even thriving population. The reality is that the US ranks 24th in terms of longevity, 29th in terms of infant mortality, and 11th in healthcare outcomes.

MODULE 10: SELF-CARE ADVOCATE​
​
Once you've taken positive action towards behavioral change, you must maintain this new behavior. When developing new habits, there's always the chance to look back and fall into temptation. It's a pitfall, and avoiding this will be essential. However, if you stumble, you get back up. Having a mindset of never quitting is the key to winning. ​
