Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter urges listeners to speak up to friends whose health or lifestyle appears to be declining, framing such interventions as an act of love. He shares a personal anecdote about a longtime friend whose accumulating unhealthy choices are worrying, and encourages having honest conversations to motivate healthier behavior.
If you got a friend that you think is slowing down a little bit and that's something that you know that that's not a way that they would want to live mention it. I think the most loving, the best thing that you can do for a friend sometimes is to say, hey man, please, please look at your health. It's really hard to watch your friend suffer in health. I have one of my best friends amazing guy's always been a really good athlete a little heavier guy but I'm starting to watch some of his lifestyle choices accumulate. It's really rough because that's my buddy we'd like to be around to make each other irritated. I'd like to have him around to piss me off. I think that's a conversation that I hope that listeners can have with their friends. If you got a friend that you think is slowing down a little bit and that's something that you know that that's not a way that they would want to live mention.
