Gus Kious, MD, President of Huron Hospital, originally studied criminology and didn’t make the decision to become a doctor until later in his life. “I always liked people that I met in medicine. They were bright, witty, fun-loving, practical and hard-working,” he says. “They had a lot of characteristics that I admired, and I learned through life that if I hang out with the right kind of people that I become more like them.” His current position has allowed him to make his own mark. “What is really exciting for me is that I’ve been able to radically change the culture at Huron Hospital. I think it’s a real privilege to be a part of an organization that’s not only local but international in its scope and reputation,” he says. Dr. Kious explained that despite the excitement his job brings, his lifestyle over the years had become “very chaotic and high-pressure.” As one of our true role models, both professionally and in personal health, Dr. Kious knew to seek out resources when this lifestyle began causing him health problems. He took advantage of the benefits of the Lifestyle 180 program, which immersed him in lifestyle changes for six weeks. “I think it’s really wonderful.  I’ve taken off about 30 pounds. I have more energy,” he says. “And I have new tools and habits that are developing and replacing my old habits. I think that’s really powerful.” To send Dr. Kious a message, click here and sign his guestbook.
