Description
Dr. Karen K. Lee's work has been instrumental in improving public health around the world. Her dedication to finding solutions to the root causes of premature death led her to join the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the early 2000s, where she worked with a team to tackle over-eating and under-exercising. This experience sparked a broader initiative to create opportunities for healthy living in everyday life. Dr. Lee's influence has since spread globally, with her work helping to reverse childhood obesity and lengthen life expectancies. However, she knows that health education alone is not enough - the world needs to change to support individuals in taking steps towards healthier lives. Working with civic leaders, city planners, and architects, Dr. Lee has been a pioneer in addressing leading health problems such as obesity, heart disease, strokes, cancers, and diabetes. In "Fit Cities", Dr. Lee shares her riveting memoir of this work, uncovering the causes of unhealthy living and offering invaluable advice on how to live healthier lives.
