Well Balanced-December 2024

With six in ten Americans having at least one chronic disease and four in ten having at least two or more, the CDC reports chronic disease as the number one cause of death and disability in the United States.

On top of that, many choose to only visit the doctor when feeling “sick,” rather than as a method of prevention.
