What does Rebecca think about current health issues?
"The epidemic of increasingly sedentary lifestyles and highly processed food. This is worsening the global rise of musculoskeletal disorders, chronic pain, obesity, and other preventable conditions. We should address this issue through education, improving access to healthy food, and accessible movement programs to improve health globally and reduce the burden on healthcare systems."
