Our guest, Dr. Michelle McMacken, Executive Director for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine at NYC Health + Hospitals, joined us to discuss the innovative program she created at H+H and the impact this approach can have on your overall health. In this month’s Key Note, Dr. McMacken reveals the important first step to help kick-start your health journey and shares why where you start may matter more than you think.
