Imagine if you didn’t have enough energy to play with your kids… or if your father was too sick to walk you down the aisle at your wedding…or if you constantly worried about losing your beloved spouse to a heart attack. 

For some people, this is an unfortunate reality – and it’s what makes the health crisis such a tragedy. 

One of IIN founder Joshua Rosenthal’s best sayings is, “Health is a vehicle, not a destination.” This can mean different things to different people, but in IIN visiting teacher Dr. David Katz’s opinion, family is one of the most important reasons to take control of your health. Your loved ones are the big “why” that make all the healthy eating, exercise, and responsible decisions worth it. 

In this video, Dr. Katz – a father of five! – shares how he and his family make health a family value and spread their passion to the world.

Does this resonate with you? Have you ever changed a habit because of your loved one, or asked someone to change for you? We’d love to hear about your experience – let us know in the comments below!
