"The effort and the energy you put into your health is what you'll get back. If you take care of yourself by eating well, exercising, avoiding toxic and chemical exposures, and doing all you can to piece yourself together physically, spiritually and emotionally, it will show in the long run - your body will not only last longer, but run more smoothly. As a family medicine physician, it is truly and honor to be the person patients confide in with their problems, worries, concerns and to be able to help them."— Peter Jakacki, MD
