SARAY STANCIC: A code blue
is a medical emergency.

00:00:35,992 --> 00:00:38,038
It's used in hospitals
and institutions

4
00:00:38,081 --> 00:00:41,215
to alert when a patient
is in cardiopulmonary arrest.

Today in many ways,
it's our society

back to life.

chronic illness accounts
for 86 percent of that money.

18

are obese or overweight.

STEVEN ADELMAN:
I think the big problem
in health care,

35
00:02:04,820 --> 00:02:08,171
we don't think
about behavior change
at the right time.

36
00:02:08,215 --> 00:02:10,173
We think about it
when it's too late.

37
00:02:10,217 --> 00:02:12,828
What if we spent
as much time and energy

38

what makes people healthy

39
00:02:15,961 --> 00:02:17,920

about illness?
