Why a Holistic Approach to Health is Vital

The part can never be well, unless the whole is well. -Plato

Many times, I see patients that have a particular complaint like weight issues, depression, fatigue or anxiety. Often, there are no black and white answers. You see, illness or disease does not just exist in one area of the body. Often, the solutions are much more complex than just addressing one area - e.g.: diet and exercise for weight loss. Reclaiming health requires a holistic view that addresses all the areas that affect our lives. That certainly includes the foundation of healthy nutrition and movement, but also mind-body connection, environment, sleep and rest, social support, life purpose and meaning and medical and wellness care. Once these areas are surveyed, one can truly begin to get to the root of health concerns and on her or his way to reclaimed health. If you know someone who is looking for a provider to walk that journey with them and not just prescribe another medication, I'm your girl! 🙋🏻
