Episode Synopsis

An interview with Dr. Howard Koh, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, former HHS Assistant Secretary for Health, former MA Commissioner of Public HealthIn my view, there should be so much more emphasis on [physical activity]. And we simply don't. I don't quite understand it, because it's a life saving tool. It helps everybody's emotional well-being as well as their physical well-being. And, you know, we just have not had the attention that people like you are now bringing to it. So we need to double down on this if we're going to have a healthier future.Dr. Howard KohIncorporating physical activity into daily lifePrioritizing daily physical activityCreating community through physical activityPolicy makers prioritizing physical activityBuilding a culture of physical activity through cross-sector collaborationPhysical activity as a magic pillPrioritizing disease preventionCOVID-19 and physical activityKnocking down silosBuilding collaborations with the educational sectorInvesting in public healthPublic health done wellThe meaning of public servicehttps://www.movetolivemore.com/https://www.linkedin.com/company/move-to-live-more@MovetoLiveMore
