– John Knowles, former president of the Rockefeller Foundation

If you are reading this, it’s likely you have already taken major steps to invest in your health and wellbeing. Congratulations!

Did you know that a recent CDC report showed that just over 6% of American adults engaged in the top five health-related behaviors known to prevent chronic disease? Considering that one in two Americans has a chronic disease, and one in four Americans suffers from multiple chronic diseases, it is more important than ever to change the status quo.

On the first day of my certification as a yoga teacher in 1999, an older woman walked into the classroom, pulled herself a chair and sat in front of us. She stated her name and age, I don’t recall her name, but she was 91 years old. As she gripped her right leg and pulled it behind her neck, she said: “I will never stop doing yoga, so when I grow old, nobody has to tie my shoes or wipe my ass”. Since then I’ve lived by those words.

Over the last few years we have seen a growing trend of people moving to Puerto Rico from the mainland looking for warmer weather and lower taxes. A few years ago the Puerto Rico government implemented several tax incentive decrees collectively known as Act 20/22, to incentive investors, business leaders and successful entrepreneurs to move to the island with their families and generate economic activity. After being in effect for a few years, there are more than 1,000 individuals who are now Puerto Rico residents benefiting from the tax decrees.

Or that bug that took down half the office last week? You start feeling worse and the thought of going to an ER crosses your mind. What should I do? If I go to the hospital, it is going to be a nightmare with several hours of waiting time.  That doesn't sound like a pleasant experience...

The professional working landscape in Puerto Rico has changed a lot over the last decade, but especially after Hurricane Maria.  

After the hurricane, many companies went out of business or were forced to downsize to reduce costs.  Some even made salary and benefits cuts for their employees.  As a result, thousands of talented and educated professionals have left the island for the mainland United States in search of better work opportunities and quality of life.  This is a big problem for Puerto Rico; the worst thing that can happen to a country is losing its intellectual capital.
