My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness… Wellness is not just the absence of disease, but is an optimal state of functioning. Can you do the things you want to do as a mother, father, grandmother or grandfather? The three components of comprehensive healthcare are good basic medical care, nutrition and exercise. My philosophy is simple, my job is to educate, support and guide my patients to a functioning, healthier and happier life.
