“An insightful approach to aging and wellness”

No matter who I see, no matter what age group, when we’re talking about preventative health, women will say, ‘I know I’m supposed to do that, but I just don’t have the time.’

It’s a paradigm that Dr. Vivien Brown has been dealing with throughout her long career. She’s been a family physician in Toronto for more than 35 years, and is the Vice President for Medical Affairs of Medisys Corporate Health, a national network of medical clinics dedicated to preventative health care. In her practice, she hears a variety of explanations from women regarding what makes them “too busy” ― from work demands to raising kids to taking care of elderly parents. Her response to each one is the same.

“Don’t expect the usual “look slim in your 60s” tips. Instead, Brown offers evidence-based advice that could change how women feel about osteoporosis treatments, hormone therapy and vaccinations later in life.”

“Dr. Brown’s conversational style makes you feel like you are getting your questions answered over cappuccino. She explains in her introduction her common-sense approach to taking charge of your physical well-being. It’s an informative read that empowers you to be your best self. I will encourage my friends to read it and take it to heart.”
