OSHER 879 - How I Beat My Genes!

Instructor Jane Yager will share her personal journey working with her doctors at the University of Utah to improve her health. She will discuss the approaches she used to reverse pre-diabetes, reduce high blood pressure, and manage stress. She will share the mistakes and successes that helped her achieve her physical and mental health goals using the latest scientific research to date. She will use videos of medical experts and their explanations of key health concepts as well as provide a list of recommended readings for further information. While not a medical doctor, Jane chose, under the supervision of her doctors, to take control of her health and rally against the factors affecting it. Hopefully, her journey will inspire others to work to improve their health and "beat their genes!"
