Evidence-based Chronic Disease Solutions for Obesity, Diabetes, Pain, Anxiety, Depression, Auto-Immune

 

There are no coincidences, right?

It's interesting that just when the non-profit 2021 Lifestyle Medicine Summit - a free global live streaming event - is being launched, I've also noticed an increase in news coverage about the potential benefits of Lifestyle Medicine, not just for our individual health, but for healthcare in general.

Many of us feel frustrated and want evidence-based chronic disease solutions.

Lifestyle Medicine is a scientific approach to preventing and treating chronic illness by utilizing comprehensive lifestyle interventions such as nutrition, physical activity, stress reduction and social support.

In the upcoming Lifestyle Medicine Summit 50 of the world's top experts in treating root-cause(s) like Dean Ornish MD, Bruce Lipton Ph.D., David Katz MD, Prof. Ainhoa De Federico, Neal Barnard MD, Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo, Johannes R.

Tackle Work Stress

Chronic stress has an incredibly damaging effect on our whole-body health. While short bouts of acute stress are normal and natural, feeling stressed for days on end can contribute to high blood pressure, insomnia, inflammation, muscle tension, and other symptoms of chronic disease. Work is one of the most common sources of chronic stress. If your job is starting to wear on your mind and body, it might be time for a ...

Why A New Healthcare System Is On Its Way

 
Register Here for the Lifestyle Medicine Summit
One of the things we are seeing in the Western healthcare system right now, all around the world, is a crumbling of the old to make way for the new.
 
When things 'break down' it can feel bad, but at some point it is actually a necessary part of change, in order for something newer and better to be built.
 
This change happens in all areas of life because 'the only constant is change'. We are always growing and improving ourselves (hopefully) as a human race.

Why Now?

The healthcare system HAS to change because it's old (current) way of dealing with things is predominantly to have people believe that getting ill is normal, and that the solution is to manage / get rid of symptoms using (predominantly) medication or surgery.
 
This approach is called the 'ambulance at the bottom of the cliff'...

Why It's Time for a New Healthcare System

 
It is clear that the 'conventional' healthcare system is breaking down.
 
You only need to watch what is going on in New Zealand right now with the breakdown in the nursing situation to see how the system is crumbling before our very eyes.
 
Why is the system breaking down?
  • Because it's time.
  • Because it is not working.
  • Because (in most cases) it does not address the root cause of illness.

All over the world, patients are getting sicker and going bankrupt from medical bills.

Doctors are burning out and making dangerous mistakes.

According to a recent article, "In Quebec, the healthcare system is already on the brink of collapse because of a mass exodus of staff quitting the system... Some hospitals have already lost over 50% of their staff" (1).

Both parties blame our nation’s outdated and dysfunctional healthcare system. But that’s only part of the problem.

When former CEO of The Permanente Medical Group Robert Pearl (who led...

Can 80% Of Chronic Disease Be Reversed?

Six in ten Americans live with at least one chronic disease, such as heart disease and stroke, cancer or diabetes.

These and other chronic diseases are the leading causes of death and disability in America, and are also a leading driver of health care costs.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 90% of national healthcare spending goes toward chronic disease management and mental healthcare.

Excuse me what??

90%?

Yep, that's correct. 

Why am I sick? Solving the Puzzle.

The question most often asked by people who are sick is … WHY?

"What is causing my pain, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, migraine, anxiety or depression"?, etc.

The second question is … "what treatment options do I have"?

Well, your answer may lie in a revolution in healthcare, which is already here for those who are ready. And here is how you can find out more about it…

Over 35 of the world’s top lifestyle medicine experts will reveal how to...

Millions Healthier. Save Billions. Fix Healthcare. 

lifestyle medicine Jul 03, 2021
 

It’s been said many times: 'Follow the money'

Is it time that we consider how this applies to our healthcare system?

Let's look at some facts and figures...

Real Healthcare Costs

In the U.S. healthcare costs have skyrocketed to $3.65 Trillion - yes! Count the zeros! That's $3,650,000,000,000.

We also know that over 80% of today’s healthcare costs are connected to non-communicable (chronic) lifestyle diseases like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, pain, Alzheimer’s and other auto-immune disorders.

Estimated Savings

Research studies have shown the reduction of bypass surgery and stents can save $30,000 per patient in the first year alone, cutting healthcare costs by 50% in the first year.

It's safe to estimate that healthcare cost savings of 2-10% annually are absolutely possible.

WOW, that's a whopping $73-365 BILLION in HEALTHCARE COST SAVINGS!

This is how we can create a win-win-win situation, creating new high paying and fulfilling...

Too important not to share

health Feb 04, 2021
The following is simply too important to not share. I share because I care, and because I care about truth. And I care about people not suffering.
 
And let us not forget in the Hippocratic oath which doctors take to firstly 'do no harm'.

Worrying Reports

Over the past few weeks and months I have been noticing many different reports from concerned citizens, as well as medical professionals, around the vaccine. 
 
Unfortunately, what I also notice is an unconscious populace who obliviously believe a vaccine is the magic bullet answer to the current pandemic. I have lost count of the number of times I have heard people say in conversation "we'll be alright once we have the vaccine"
 
Little do they seem to realize the potential and very real side effects of vaccines over the history of vaccines, let alone this new 'experimental' version which has not been fully trialed.
 
Below is a compilation of just a few of the reports and FB posts I have...

Two Secrets to De-Stressing

In order to return to our natural, calm state, our job is to take away what is preventing that natural state. It's not about adding in - it's about taking away.
Here are a few insights on dealing with stress at a fundamental level.
 
What do I mean by 'at a fundamental level'?
 
Well, there are many layers to stress, and there are actually two types of stress; INTERNALLY induced, AND EXTERNALLY induced.

Internal Stress

Internal stress is anything we do to ourselves which has very little or nothing to do with anyone else. It has to do with our personal habits, lifestyle behaviours, daily actions, which keep us perpetually stressed, even though we keep saying we want to be calm and peaceful. In other words, we perpetuate our own stress – it is a habit which is akin to an addiction. We are unconsciously addicted to our stress.

External Stress

External stress is caused by anything ‘external’ to our body – ie environment, events and...

Your Health, Your Body, Your Choice - Choose Wisely

health Dec 18, 2020
"If our consciousness is 'closed' we simply will not see what is right in front of our face. We unconsciously screen it out"...
There is a huge divide in healthcare right now:
  • Those who believe solely or predominantly in the conventional medical approach (doctors, medication, surgery)
  • And those who have found additional approaches (natural health, holistic solutions) to supplement the conventional approach.
In my explorations of health, I have found the underlying reason for our healthcare knowledge and choices is our unconscious belief system and level of consciousness, which are a direct result of our unconscious programming during the early years of our life, plus what we additionally learn about health as we move through life.
 
The problem is, the first approach (conventional medicine) is limiting. It is not the full story. It is a narrow perspective. It does not offer all the answers, despite what many people believe. 

The problem with unawareness
