Get out there for a walk! Maximize what needs to change, minimize what is harmful and prioritize what is healthy! The average American health is not fine,much less optimal. We use fine as a shield, as a throw away response to how are you.? Many people lurk behind a label of fine and one is not really well at all. We’ve just become accustomed to various states of dis-ease that it becomes their normal. If there is an epidemic of dis-ease or dysfunction or negative ...environmental issue, then average is going to be undesirable. This week I was (WNL) the focus on normal as being good (fine, acceptable, ignorable). As I was the patient this time, I realized I was compared to an average. In my practice my goal is to educate and aim for a higher good, not waiting for dis-ease to become severe enough to diagnose it, when already damage has been done for several years . More than the conventional goal of finding a disease, my goal is to maximize health. . . . #holistichealthcarepractitioner #functionalmedicine #maximizeyourhealth #keephealthyandfit #referenceranges #conventionalmedicine #healthandwellness See more
