The clock seems to be ticking backward when it comes to health and medicine. We hailed the discovery of antibiotics and thought we have found the holy grail of health. No matter what the condition, we formulated a medicine for that. But the list of diseases kept getting longer and full of lethal conditions despite the medical ‘breakthroughs’. Now, the doctors discourage the use of medicines and are restoring to the natural ways of treatments. The story does not end here!
The world has seen an affluence of food, the likes of which we have never seen before. Why resort to our ancestral ways of living and eating when we can have everything packed, processed and ready to eat, right? The abundance of food has brought with it a flood of ailments that were previously unknown to us.
Where did we go wrong? The problem perhaps started when we started viewing ‘human beings’ as mere ‘human bodies’. The human body is a complex system, the health of which depends on the body, soul, and mind existing in a perfect balance with one another. If any of these malfunctions, the body loses its ability to function properly and is said to be diseased.
In simple words, if you are suffering from any condition, trying to lose weight or just trying to live and eat healthy, you need to go beyond the everyday fads. Let’s find out your choices if you are trying to live a life full of vigor and free of diseases.
It was my first time at this practice.. I felt completely comfortable with everyone who works here. The front desk woman was very polite & made sure I was seen right away. Asya Portnaya was the best provider I’ve seen in a very long time. She made sure all my questions were answered and really cared about what I was in for. The sonographer Toni was also very nice & gentle. I would definitely continue my care here!
First time I have been here and everyone and I mean everyone was super nice. They all made me feel comfortable and were all very helpful. The doctor was very comforting and showed she cared. Definitely a great experience and found my new office.
Recently started my prenatal care and everyone is so friendly. I’ve never experience such a warm vibe walking into a doctors office. The nurses and staff are very detailed and helpful with all my concerns with my high risk pregnancy
The biggest problem with the modern day science and medicine is that it targets the disease, instead of treating the root cause. Many a time, the roots of a problem are deep and the disease process and its symptoms represent just the tip of an iceberg. Take depression for example, no matter how many anti-depressants you eat, you are not going to get anything out of them until you fix what is ailing your mind.
The everyday science does a reasonable job at controlling the symptoms of a condition. However, this system only provides a temporary solution for the disease to emerge again, in a form that is even more severe than before.
Also, the ‘temporary solution’ is not without consequences. Every day medicines have more side effects than effects- that is a fact! To counteract these side effects, your doctor may prescribe you some more medicines. Are you getting the picture? You eating a handful of pills every day and your health deteriorating rather than getting any better. Do you want to go down that path?
If you do not want to go down the path of eating medicines then what are your alternatives? You may find the answer if you switch the gears and start thinking out of the box. Once you start thinking that way, you’ll get to see a whole new world of ways of treatment that are not only natural but are scientifically proven to work too. That’s what the integrative health and wellness are all about.
The integrative wellness programs do not disregard the importance of the Western ways of treatment. Rather, they provide a unique blend of the modern as well as time-tested ways of treatments that only help you cope with symptoms but also cater for the complex needs of your physical, mental and psychological being.
This method takes a holistic approach to dealing with a condition. This approach helps augment your self-care skills Moreover, this method aids in triggering your body’s natural immune and healing process, which help you stay away from diseases and recover from them at a much faster rate.
This method helps develop a harmony between your physical, mental, psychological and social health by making use of:
Ever since the advent of fast food and sedentary lifestyle getting prevalent, obesity is on the rise. In fact, it has now turned into an epidemic. The protruding love handles do not only make you look unsightly but pose a threat to your health too. Obesity has been linked to countless other conditions like stroke, heart attack, diabetes, high blood pressure, and what not!
The experts have long thought of weight loss as something simple as ‘calories in and calories out’. The traditional view is that as long as you are burning more calories than you consume, you are going to lose weight. But the reality is a lot different!
You may have all the numbers in your favor and you may be dieting and working out like crazy, but the results are still far from what you expect. The reason for this failure is that we fail to take into account a number of factors that have been brought to light by the most recent research.
While eating right and exercising daily remain the most important tools for losing pounds, you should also look out of other conditions that make losing weight practically impossible. Such conditions include:
So what you first need is correct these disorders before you can successfully embark on the journey of weight loss.
As mentioned, eating the right diet represents the cornerstone of losing weight but achieving a good overall health too. But, the problem with diet is that it is quite difficult for you to keep track of what you eat. What adds fuel to the fire are the complex dieting plans available online that are there just to sell their products to you and do little to help.
Remember, you can’t expect to live a healthy life nor achieve an ideal weight if you are not giving your body the right fuel in the form of a balanced diet. Dieting is not the solution. While you may keep track of the diet yourself, it would be better if you take nutritional counseling advice from an expert.
Nutritional counseling helps you with:
