Stronger Hearts, Stronger Leaders - Fueling your Leadership
In his presentation, Dr. Stone will outline the scope of heart disease within public safety occupations and will discuss why it appears to be so prevalent within high-stress occupations.
Then do a deep dive into nutrition, meal planning, and determination of individual nutritional needs based on gender, age, and activity level. He will finalize the section with a Q/A aimed at addressing the overwhelming amount of mis-information subverting the mainstream understanding of “dieting”.
