The MEDICAL MILL
Many 50+ers are burdened with chronic diseases that keep them stuck in the MEDICAL MILL. Each symptom is treated as a separate health issue. Patients are referred to specialists who focus on the problem body part, diagnosing conditions for which drugs are usually prescribed and procedures recommended. The drugs cause side effects, which then result in the need for even more treatment and drugs. Life revolves around doctor appointments and their associated med-management routines for each individual body part that's a problem. Health and quality of life continues to decline. This is the MEDICAL MILL in action.
Have you ever wondered?
Even with all the technology and information we have available to us:
WHY are we stuck in this medical mill, with an ever-growing list of chronic ailments and meds?
WHY do we never seem to get real, sustainable solutions to our chronic health problems?
Have you ever considered that perhaps we are leveraging the wrong technology and information?

6 things we do every day account for
80% of the chronic diseases we suffer from...
EATING (diet)
BREATHING (smoking)
MOVING (exercise)
DRINKING (alcohol)
SLEEPING (not enough/poor quality)
NAVIGATING LIFE (stress management/education/social media influence/poor choices)
Our health does NOT have to decline as we age.... it declines because of something we are doing wrong, or not doing at all.... through the choices we're making and the way we live our lives - our LIFESTYLE. When we do the right things, our body intrinsically heals and thrives! ​
Lifestyle Medicine is all about choices and daily habits...
HABITS that include being open to seeing our world differently and critically thinking through why our current normal is failing us.
HABITS that include us being open to taking ownership for the choices we have been making and then being open to changing what we're doing when something isn't working.
HABITS that create an environment for optimal wellbeing: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social.
HABITS that crowd out the bad stuff, and help us do more of the good stuff.
HABITS that get us away from weight worries, diets and gym grinds.
HABITS that help us avoid illness, chronic ailments, and med management routines.
... and when we put all these good habits together we give ourselves the best potential to live a long, vibrant life free of disease.
Our current normal isn't working...so let's go find a better normal!
Come and learn to see your food and health world differently - one that will give you a whole new way of thinking about how to solve your chronic wellbeing problems. A way that will enable you to be in FULL CONTROL and EMPOWERED to get your vibrant life back. That's what Lifestyle Medicine is all about!
