209: Tackling Wellness One Step at a Time - Dr. David Sabgir

Tackling Wellness One Step at a Time: Interconnectedness of Exercise, Nutrition, Sleep & Social Connection

According to the CDC, about 80 percent of deaths from premature heart disease and stroke are preventable with lifestyle changes. When Ohio-based cardiologist Dr. David Sabgir had the realization that only 5 percent of his patients were meeting physical activity recommendations and he wasn’t enacting meaningful behavior change, he decided to change his approach.

Listen in for an inspiring discussion about how he started an international movement to get people exercising more. Learn what inspired him and why he also incorporates heart-healthy foods like avocados, getting enough sleep, and social connection in his call to action.  

Tune in to this podcast with guest Dr. David Sabgir to learn about:

1. How an action plan that includes physical activity, nutrition, sleep, and social connection parameters can address preventable risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
2. The nutritional attributes that make certain foods, such as avocados, beneficial for cardiovascular health.
3. Actionable, evidence-based tips to help improve patient outcomes related to cardiovascular health and overall wellness.
