What is Health?

Health is all about the ability to live your life the way you choose, with intention and joy. Whether it is spending more time with friends and family, experiencing meaning and purpose in your work or being able to just laugh and have fun. Being healthy means you are on a mission; one that is personal to you.

Health is not an "all or nothing" experience. Instead, it is a spectrum which can be as serious as surviving day to day as you deal with a life threatening condition to experiencing fun, joy and thriving as you experience high levels of optimal health in multiple dimensions of your life. The spectrum has multiple levels in between.

The Health Spectrum

Life-Threatening Condition

Managing Chronic Disease

  • Urgent need of care by trained clinicians and specialists in order to ensure your immediate survival.

  • Time and energy is spent on appointments, follow ups, medications and treatments in order to continue to work and live your life.

  • Pain, discomfort and other symptoms are managed by medications and treatments and are keeping you from being truly well.

  • Also known as false wellness, it is where symptoms and disease is eliminated, but good health is not present.

Coping With Symptoms

Growing Health Awareness

  • Learning about what could cause illness or disease and taking steps to prevent it.

  • Understanding that greater health can be increased through actions like eating well, moving more, managing stress, sleeping better and increasing social connection.

  • High Level Wellness is not a static state. It is an ongoing process of caring for your mind, body, emotions and finding creative expression and joy for yourself and with others.
