Episode 143 - Medical Fitness Tour 2020 Recap - Christine & Brian Rally for Doctors to Prescribe Fitness & Nutrition 

“We all share the same mission; we want to improve the quality of peoples’ lives through movement and nutrition. Let’s shift the paradigm!” -Christine

In Episode 143, Brian and Christine reunite for a powerful conversation about shifting the paradigm that exists between the current state of medical professionals and fitness professionals around the world.  Christine talks about her recent trip to lecture at the Medical Fitness National Conference at the University of Irvine and discusses her trademarked facial fitness and rehabilitation program, Let’s FACE It Together™.  Both Brian and Christine elaborate on some of the latest research and studies to support the collaboration of both professions. While the traditional doctor “treats problems,” the fitness professional is interested in preventing problems and reducing the onset of diseases.  Let’s geek out on the research and studies that prove a healthy diet that includes movement will naturally lead you to live a more quality life! If you have yet to hear about the MedFit Network and Education Foundation, a non-profit organization spearheaded by Lisa Dougherty, it’s time to check it out and join the movement. 

Let’s Shift the Paradigm!
