What is wellness?
The term 'wellness' is so new that it's being used in a variety of contexts. Wellness is a more expansive concept than health and in accordance with Dr. Patrick Gentempo, founder of the Creating Wellness Alliance, and his team of health experts, wellness is defined as:
"The degree to which an individual experiences health and vitality in the three dimensions of their life — physical, bio-chemical and psychological."
In order to achieve true wellness you need balance in these three dimensions of your life. There will always be stresses in these dimensions, but it's a matter of balancing the negative and positive stresses to harmonize your life.
Every choice you make will either move you in the direction of wellness or it will shift you towards dis-ease. The Wellness Model is true healthcare, it is not only about prevention, but it is about performance and potential. It isn't just about your waistline, it is about empowering you to reclaim your life.
