Part One: A few key takeaways from Harvard Medical School
This week, Global Glow Founder and CEO Julie Katerine Turcotte and COO Katarina Kupcikova completed the Lifestyle Medicine and Wellness Coaching Immersion at Harvard Medical School.
A few ideas stayed with us.
md spoke about the six pillars of lifestyle medicine, a reminder that long-term health is shaped by how we eat, move, sleep, manage stress, connect, and avoid harmful substances.
Rich Joseph, MD, MBA spoke about exercise as medicine and the role of movement in healthspan, performance, and long-term vitality. One point he made stayed with us: we would never tell someone with diabetes to simply “eat better” without offering structure, targets, and follow-up. Movement should be treated with that same level of seriousness if we want it to meaningfully support long-term health.
And from Robert Brooks, PhD, author of The Power of Resilience, one message stood out deeply:
we should never underestimate the impact one person can have on another person’s life.
His work on resilience reinforced something essential, that resilience is not built in isolation, but through positive relationships and human support.
A powerful few days, and a strong reminder that better outcomes are often shaped by what helps people sustain health in daily life.
