You’ve had a prescription from your medical doctor, right?
Think back…
How often did you receive a prescription that focused on improving your lifestyle before pharmaceutical drugs or a recommendation for an invasive procedure? Things like:
- Eating healthier
- Exercising regularly
- Getting more sleep
- Grounding
- Managing stress better
- Addressing your mindset
- Expanding your social circle
- Reevaluating your career or relationship
- Accepting yourself
- Establishing a yoga and/or meditation practice
- Releasing what you are resisting
- Cultivating presence
- Recognizing that your health is the sum of mind, body, and spirit
- And more…
These actions help to bring your body into the homeostasis, or balance, that’s required to maintain your holistic health. I love my primary care physician, but he’s never prescribed lifestyle medicine.
The pandemic revealed how few people truly understand preventative health, meaning actions you can take to keep your immune system strong and thereby help to prevent the development of chronic disease. Your health is the sum of the states of your mental, physical, and emotional bodies. Human beings have been masterfully designed to thrive. Unfortunately, the stress and toxins of modern life cause your minds, bodies, and spirits to develop imbalances that negatively affect your overall health and cause you to struggle.
You have more power to impact your holistic health than you are led to believe. The recent pandemic would have resulted in far less hospitalizations if everyone had a holistic wellness coach to support them in practicing lifestyle medicine.
