What is the cause of the current “epidemic of chronic disease?” And what can we do to protect our health? In this class, led by certified lifestyle medicine physician Laura Varich, MD, we will uncover the answers to these questions as we explore the factors that launched (and continue to propagate) this epidemic, as well as the lifestyle moves that can battle it.

This program is presented by Laura Varich and is hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.
