Internal medicine physician Shirisha Kamidi discusses her article "Small habits, big impact on health." Shirisha explains why prevention is often more powerful than treatment when addressing conditions like diabetes and hypertension. She shares a real-world example of a patient who normalized high blood pressure through simple lifestyle adjustments rather than medication. The conversation emphasizes the cumulative power of small habits such as evening walks, balanced eating, and stress management. Shirisha also highlights the importance of shifting from a reactive medical model to a proactive partnership between doctor and patient.
