I’m joining forces with the American Heart Association to expand heart health education across the Phoenix community. As an Ambassador for the American Heart Association’s Healthy for Good program, I’ll be leading the Phoenix-area’s 2021 campaign, sharing educational content and resources to help motivate audiences to make healthy eating choices, engage in more physical activity, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and strengthen mental wellbeing.

Advocating for this cause is so important to me because as a health provider I want to share all you can do to live your best and most vibrant life. Heart disease is the leading cause of death among Americans and yet with the proper access to information, education, and action, 80% of cardiac events can be prevented. Healthy for Good is a revolutionary healthy living movement that inspires change one step at a time, very similar to the practical steps I introduce in my new book Vibrant.

The approach is simple: Eat Smart. Move More. Add Color. Be Well.
