Welcome to Chasing Health: My Wellness Journey

Join me, Veronica Gutierrez-Estrada Salazar, as I share my personal journey in pursuit of a healthy life in my continued search for health and wellness. I've come to realize that each milestone in my pursuit of wellness brings about a dynamic shift in my body at every life stage. Embracing and adapting to these transformations has become the cornerstone of my journey towards good health.

In this ongoing adventure towards health, I've learned that it's not just about setting personal goals. It's about navigating through the unique challenges and opportunities that each phase of life presents. Understanding what I can manage—my lifestyle choices—and acknowledging elements beyond my control, such as family medical history and genetic predispositions, has been fundamental.

This journey isn't merely about individual objectives. It's about recognizing how our surroundings and lifestyle choices significantly impact our health. Health is a continuous journey, not a fixed destination, involving the ability to adapt to life's twists while relentlessly 'Chasing Health.'

Positive Thinking: The Seeds You Sow - Pensamiento Positivo: Las Semillas que Plantas

Image
While walking along paths lined with trees, whether in the city, a park, or a remote country road, you might wonder about the origins of these trees, but the planter may remain a mystery. For each tree, many seeds were sown, yet not all survived the test of nature's elements. Similar to these seeds, life is about planting new ventures, embarking on fresh opportunities, and championing noble causes. Not all these adventures may blossom as envisioned, but don't be disheartened. What’s sprouting within you is invaluable experience. In life, numerous factors are beyond our control, but fret not. Keep sowing the seeds of your aspirations, for among them, some will indeed grow into magnificent trees, offering their comforting shade ------ Al caminar por senderos bordeados de árboles, ya sea en la ciudad, en un parque o en un camino rural remoto, uno podría preguntarse sobre el origen de estos árboles, pero el jardinero puede seguir siendo un misterio. Por cada árbol se se...

Norman Borlaug: My Profound Source of Inspiration

Image
"... these places I have seen clubbed my mind, they are so poor and depressing. I don't know what we can do to help these people, but we have to do something." "When I know our scientific facts are right, I am going to play that card, and play it hard" These phrases revealed to me one of the greatest humanitarians of the modern world, Norman Borlaug, also known as the father of the Green Revolution and the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize laureate. How did I come across Dr. Borlaug? It was in the historic year of 2020—the Covid-19 pandemic—when I embarked on cultivating 'Chasing Health,' my lifestyle project as a community health worker and health educator.

Since then, I have adopted these words...

Why was the doctor's appointment so short? - Because the patient was "brief"ed!

Image
One of the most recurring concerns among my peers is the amount of time physicians spend with patients, a concern I can easily relate to. It's not just about the time, but also the significant increase in my deductible, which was almost 100%. My appointment was scheduled for 7 am, and I arrived promptly at 7. At 7:15, the nurse called me in to check my weight and blood pressure, and 10 minutes later, the doctor entered the room for less than 2 minutes. How long would it take for the doctor to review my file and lab test results with only 2 elements before entering the room? I wish the doctor would dedicate that time in the room reviewing my file with me giving me the sense I deserve that little extra attention. By 7:28, I was already out of the doctor's office. While it's true that modern processes are more efficient, should that come at the expense of human connection?
