#canfitpro #vanfitexpo started off with Dr. Susan Biali, M.D. B.Sc Dietetics’ poignant, amazing and  profound keynote telling us the story of how she went from almost taking her life after a 36h shift in her 2nd year of residency after 11 years of schooling to become a doctor, and when during her sick leave, just wanting to be normal, how a group of salsa dancers in Cuba transformed her life and how she used dance as a passion life-saver. She knew the way she would save her life would be through dancing. She resigned from her residency, she got her private doctor license and signed up for her first salsa class. A testament as how far Passion will take you. Using your gifts and talents and learning how to live a really full real life. She started on a mission to get out of whatever hole you are in and trust all pieces will come together to make a whole healthy life.

She mentions that some of the keys to a healthier, more meaningful, impactful life are to question and resist external pressure, to protect yourself from burnout, to sleep, to restrict the time you eat within a day, to take care of your brain, protect your relationships, and prioritize!
