Health is Wealth

What is wealth?

Defining wealth can be challenging. While some measure it by the assets they own, for most people, true wealth lies in their health.

In my experience treating affluent patients, I’ve seen firsthand that financial success does not guarantee comfort when one is suffering from pain or illness. No amount of money or professional achievement can replace well-being. Can someone with a $5 million portfolio be free from anxiety? Can they enjoy restful sleep without relying on medication?

Some may view self-care as indulgent or unnecessary, but when illness strikes, who will care for you? If your health declines to the point of being bedridden by pain, are you making life easier for yourself—or harder for those around you?

I have lost count of how many times I’ve seen parents, partners, or siblings bring their loved ones to the clinic only when their condition has severely worsened—many of these situations could have been prevented.

You don’t have to wait until the pain becomes unbearable to seek treatment. Delaying care often leads to longer recovery times.

Prioritizing your well-being not only benefits you but also supports those who care about you. Take care of yourself—it is one of the greatest gifts you can give to your loved ones.

Sincerely, Tony
