One of the topics of this conversation is lifestyle medicine which is about choosing the good for you variation more often than not!

Ellen explains that there's big lifestyle medicine and then there is a subtler kind — exercise habit is big, and the "big three" are sleep, diet and exercise.

It can really pack a punch and totally transform your life."
