Holistic Health: A Path to True Wellness
The current state of Western medicine is at a crossroads, and it's time for us to explore a different approach to healthcare. A recent article shed light on the limitations of our healthcare system and why holistic health might be the way forward.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) 2022 National Quality Strategy aims for the highest quality outcomes and safest care, which is a commendable goal. However, it's becoming clear that the current system falls short of achieving this vision.
The Missing Puzzle Piece: Lifestyle First
One key aspect highlighted in the article is the importance of lifestyle interventions. Many chronic diseases can be effectively treated and even reversed through lifestyle changes, yet our current system often overlooks this fact. Instead, it rewards clinicians for adhering to medication-based treatments.
This misalignment can lead to patients missing out on the opportunity to take control of their health through lifestyle changes. Holistic health, on the other hand, recognizes the importance of lifestyle in preventing and treating chronic conditions.
A Holistic Approach for Whole-Person Wellness
Holistic health promotes a whole-person, person-centered approach to wellness. It emphasizes the importance of treating individuals, not just their symptoms. It encourages the use of therapeutic lifestyle interventions as a primary modality to treat chronic conditions.
The good news is that holistic health is gaining recognition, with a growing number of healthcare professionals embracing it. Yet, reimbursement barriers and outdated healthcare systems still hinder the widespread adoption of these beneficial approaches.
It's time to reconsider how we approach healthcare. Let's shift our focus to holistic health, prioritize lifestyle interventions, and move towards a system that truly values improved health outcomes, cost savings, patient satisfaction, clinician well-being, and health equity.
