Lifestyle Counseling
Making healthy lifestyle choices for your body, mind & soul
Lifestyle Counseling is a key modality in Naturopathic Medicine. It functions as the common thread that maintains a continuity in treatment protocols and is a powerful tool to provide motivation, direction and understanding for the patient to make healthy lifestyle choices.
The holistic philosophy of Naturopathic Medicine enforces the necessity to nurture not only the physical body of a patient, but also their emotional, mental and spiritual health. The body is dependent upon our thoughts, attitudes and perceptions of the world around us. Consequently, understanding the mind-body connection will help the patient to become more aware of themselves and the relationships that are integral to their existence. This naturally leads to a more healthy lifestyle that supports the vitality of the body, mind and spirit.
Energy can be created and destroyed by our mental and emotional processes. Thus, maintaining a balanced and positive outlook is unquestionably important to our overall health. Self-reflection and self-expression in various forms allow the patient to understand themselves and provide release. Energy that is held within ourselves stagnates and can lead to illness.
Through Lifestyle Counseling, the patient can be assisted to find and establish their own positive path, make healthy choices, and create a higher self-awareness.
