Somehow, U.S. authorities decided to ignore the scary trends in a comprehensive report, but the *good news* is that we have the power to fight back and reclaim our health! Our society, culture and current environment sets us up to live increasingly shorter lives and ones filled with more illness. But our small steps are meaningful, and we can do much to change our health trajectories! Let’s find out where we stand and what aspects are within our potential control.
