Chances are that you have seen Dr. Ali Mokdad on your favorite news shows or quoted in various national magazines. Today, he stops by the Joy of Life Podcast. We wade through the latest with COVID-19, longevity of life, health disparities, garlic and coffee to name just a few of the themes. Plus, his life story is one of the great American tales that we appreciate about this country. Even with this busy schedule, he finds joy in life's little moments. You will love this conversation, and I'm excited to share it with you.
