Wishing You the Best of Health

Your body has been designed by God with an amazing ability to maintain itself in excellent health. Unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect world, and this imperfection affects our ability to enjoy perfect health. We need to exercise, eat proper diets, and sometimes get medical help in order to keep our bodies as fit as possible.

Long before I earned my Ph.D. in genetics at Purdue University, I became interested in the both the ability of the human body to live a long, healthy life and the diseases that often prevent that happy outcome.

Below you'll find a selection of articles from the world of good health. To the right you'll find listed the websites I've created for a variety of health topics.
