Dr. Tedd Mitchell, MD & Dr. Janet Tornelli-Mitchell, MD "Power Couple" on Love, Life, and Exercise Prescriptions!
Feel great about your walk as you listen to Part 1 of Lacy’s talk with Dr. Tedd Mitchell, M.D, and Dr. Janet Tornelli-Mitchell, M.D., chancellor and first lady of the Texas Tech University System. For them, physical activity – especially a daily walk together – has played an outsized role in their 38-year relationship. The Mitchells share the ways they’ve prioritized fitness in their time together and with their kids, and how it keeps them connected. As doctors who practiced at the Cooper Clinic in Dallas for 20 years, they’ve both prescribed exercise as medicine to help their patients stay “functionally fit” as they grow older. But what does that mean? Learn the difference between exercise for performance and physical activity for health, at any age.
