Description

What does it truly mean to be "healthy"? For most of us, health simply means not being sick—but the World Health Organization (WHO) challenges this idea with its revolutionary definition: "A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being."


In this episode, Dabney dives into why this holistic view of health changed the game—and why it’s more relevant than ever today. We’ll explore:




  • Why health is not just about medicine but also mental resilience and strong relationships.




  • How social factors (like loneliness and inequality) impact our well-being.




  • Whether "complete" well-being is even possible—or if we should aim for balance instead of perfection.




  • Practical ways to apply this whole-person approach to your life, community, and healthcare system.




Join us as we rethink what it means to be "healthy" and how small shifts in perspective can lead to a fuller, more vibrant life.


🔊 Tune in now—and ask yourself: "Am I truly healthy, or just not sick?
