What is holistic health?
Holistic health is an integrated approach to health that sees the whole being - mind, body, spirit - not just symptoms and physical disease. We are multi-dimensional individuals who have more vitality when in balance. We often do best with personalized health care that addresses physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health as well as our environment and lifestyle.
The quality of our health largely dictates the quality of our lives. We need a paradigm shift from a sick-care system to a healthcare system and to one that recognizes all facets of well-being.
-
We foster and optimize well-being when we examine and nurture all pillars of health, all facets of life.
-
A holistic approach is a responsible & effective approach.
-
It focuses on preventing disease and identifying root causes, not just symptoms.
-
It considers one's diet.
-
It considers one's routine.
-
It considers one's behavior.
-
It considers one's lifestyle.
-
It considers one's environment.
-
It considers one's consumer choices.
-
It recognizes bio-individuality.
-
It recognizes many healing modalities.
-
It integrates tenets of traditional and modern medicine.
-
It means thriving with balance.
-
There is a paradigm shift from a disease management system to a true healthcare system and it's empowering.
-
Many integrative veterinarians and functional medicine physicians would say over 80% of health is lifestyle & environment affecting gene expression while only a small percentage is DNA.
-
Though cancer is a leading cause of death for people and dogs alike, many scientists agree that only a small fraction of cancer cases have a genetic link. Thus, many cancers and cancer-related deaths are preventable. A health coach can help you reduce your family’s risk of this and other chronic diseases.
-
That means we have the power to heal and thrive.
-
Healthy lifestyle habits can last a lifetime, but it helps to have a coach - a guide on the side - to get there.
-
The better care you provide yourself, the better you can care for others.
-
Behaviors such as the foods you eat, the amount of sleep you get each night, and how physically active you are, significantly impact your health.
-
It's the same for our pups. Holistic wellness includes feeding their curiosity as much as their bellies.
-
Animals are sentient, emotional beings like us – they may have trauma to resolve, get lonely, feel ignored, get depressed, go into fight-flight-freeze mode, or act out.
-
Stress impacts the mind and body. Anxiety has an effect on the body.
-
But add some love, positive attention, mental stimulation, healthy food, time in nature and appropriate exercise... and that holistic health recipe takes that dog to a better place on all levels.
