Disease Management vs. Wellness Care
To help you understand how we differ from standard medical care today, we thought we’d clarify things right off the bat! Disease management, or standard western medical care today treats the symptoms people are experiencing. This is considered disease management–treating the symptom with a medication. Doctors aren’t trained in low-cost methods of health intervention, the nature of health, and the nature of health promotion. They are trained to use specific protocols in most situations. In turn, they are adding something from the outside – a medication, surgery or procedure to treat symptoms. This approach is perfect for serious problems, but not for the myriad of conditions that over 80% of people go to see their doctors about–the things that require lifestyle changes to reverse.
Wellness care on the other hand, focuses on health promotion and prevention. It actually removes anything that may interfere with the natural healing ability of the body. As a result, the focus is on what might be causing the problems that are expressing themselves as symptoms. Instead of using protocols, a health education specialist takes a step-by-step approach to healing the whole body. We dig deep to learn why the body is struggling and uncover the underlying causes that are causing the symptoms.
A health education specialist understands that the body knows what to do if nothing is interfering with it and causing it to break down. But when the body is exposed to many internal and external toxins, unresolved stress, inadequate sleep and poor food choices, it causes an internal war within us. This causes a lot of confusion and system blockages within the body. This war can express itself as gut problems, skin irritations, allergies, immune conditions, joint pain, brain fog, depression, aggression, anxiety, obesity, and so much more. In other words, the entire body and brain no longer operates like it is designed to.
Isn’t it time to give your body an opportunity to begin to heal? Isn’t it time to take back control of your health? We are here to help you…one degree at a time.
