Traditionally, Western medicine has operated on the theory that disease is something that attacks suddenly from the outside without warning. This model teaches us that, in most cases, there is not much we can do to avoid this attack, and that our role in our own health is mostly passive, rather than active. As new research comes to light, however, the notion that we are not active participants in our own health is disintegrating in favor of the notion that, in fact, we ARE responsible for many of the ailments from which we suffer. Maximized Living Doctor Marc Surprenant teaches us that disease is better understood as “dis-ease”; in that illness is a result of the lack of normal function, balance, harmony, or “ease” in the body. It is the presence of this dis-ease in the body that creates an environment that allows unhealthy cells to thrive and cause disruption in vitality and health. As such, it is our responsibility to identify and remove internal obstacles that keep us from that vital state.

There are a variety of different factors to consider when utilizing this holistic approach to health and wellbeing. While proper nutrition and exercise are still as important as ever, there are also factors such as your level of toxic exposure, malfunction or misalignment of your nervous tissue, and the effect of environmental stressors to consider as well. The human body is a highly sophisticated instrument, capable of self-healing, self-regulating, and self-perpetuating its natural state of health and vitality.  The trick is to identify where your health issues are stemming from, and then take steps to eliminate the root cause that is throwing off your body’s “ease”. Professionals like Dr. Surprenant are well versed in the latest technology and cutting-edge science regarding sources of dis-ease, and are prepared to empower you with the tools that you need to reclaim your natural birthright: a body full of vitality and wellbeing.
