Balance is Important

What makes Dr. Danny Newman special? A balanced approach to not only health but also living happily.

So many health care providers have a stern, inflexible attitude about health. Dr. Danny appreciates those who occasionally bend the rules to enjoy life. For example, a cousin of mine, a male age 89, sometimes enjoyed a rare steak and a cocktail or two. Dr. Danny did not insist he cease what many consider an unhealthy behavior. Instead, he said his patient would likely have lived longer and much more healthily in his later years because he enjoyed a moderate amount of luxury consumption.

My career was in aging services, and often I heard older adults complain, sometimes very angrily, about doctors who’d insist that they change the way they live. Now, I’m one of them, and I’m thankful my doctor guides me through my wellness. And allows me to enjoy it.
