So often we find ourselves looking for solutions to symptoms instead of looking at why we are experiencing them in the first place. This is the "root cause" approach to wellness. I like to call what I do "healthcare" and the symptom approach "disease management". Sometimes we need disease management but we also benefit from knowing the condition of the body, specifically the gut, where so many of our health challenges begin. Of all of the communication that occurs between the gut and the brain, 80% of it comes from the gut! Our immune system, stress responses, nutrient absorption and even some of our neuroendocrine functions are all regulated by the gut in one way or another. Our deepest resilience is always there within our bodies. Removing the barriers that interfere with our access to this innate potential is critical to overall wellness and optimal function. That is the GOAL OF RADICAL WELLNESS & THE AGING WELL METHOD. Through these programs we deploy the WHEALTH APPROACH .
