Control of your own health

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in 2024, it’s important to take control of your own health. I lost my employer health insurance and declined COBRA because of cost but did get coverage on the healthcare.gov exchanges. It’s very basic coverage – but I tend to be healthy so I’m sure it will be fine until I land my next corporate gig.

Having the flu also made me take stock of what I’m doing to control my own health. I’ve been working on my weight, I exercise regularly and while cookies remain my nemesis, I have been trying to cook/eat healthier.

I recently came across an article (linked below) from consultants McKinsey & Company – it’s a really good read. It points out how much we can take control of our own health – from at home diagnostic testing that we all got used to with Covid to more emphasis on women’s heath to healthy aging, we all have so many resources at our fingertips these days. What are YOU doing to control your own health? Tell me in the comments!

Learn-or-Do

I like to learn something new every day. Something about a short attention span maybe? But it keeps me engaged and growing - and who doesn't want that?
