We discuss the duality of how one's thoughts and actions impact our environment but likewise address how the traditional SDOH and environment impacts health and the expression of our health outcomes and genetic markers. What role do public health professionals play in envisioning, desigining, and acting upon cultures of health and well-being from within themselves and their organizations. How can a toxic public health workforce provide true health, wellness, and quality of life for the communities it serves?
We provide information about Dr. Masaru Emoto's work on thoughts and water crystallization. Believed by some as a pseudoscientist, we wonder how many are aware of the traditional cultural principles of Shintoism, and even the people we know who talk to plants and trees.
We also discuss the recent US Surgeon General's 6 pillars of Mental Health and Workplace Well-Being and present the question - How many of these pillars are met in your actual public health organization?
