Yesterday on the Red Table Talk, the Smith family did some tests to get a better understanding of their health status. And the results were pretty shocking. But the doctor was able to dispel their fears by recommending action steps to improve their health. While we may not be able to afford such exams, it is important that we at least get a physical once a year. Even if you don't have insurance, there are free health clinics in most areas that can help. If you can stick with the same physician it is beneficial because they are familiar with your medical history and can guide you toward an optimal state of health. You may be thinking, "I don't even know how to find a physician." One way is to ask people you know. Find out if coworkers, friends, or family members have someone they can vouch for as a good doctor. And thanks to this age of technology, the internet has tons of resources available to find a doctor whether it's through a free clinic, your insurance carriers website, or Zocdoc.com (my personal favorite). It's time to get a handle on your health and you have to set up the right team to make that happen. Your doctor should the coach who can direct you to the championship.
