When we talk about disease prevention, we often ask how to do it. When test results are of upper limit or slightly above it, doctor cannot diagnose disease, and heal it. While your body sends you signals that something is not right, and we feel bad, some doctors treat you like a hypochondriac, and only some of them recommend you change of your lifestyle. This recommendation is generally very accurate, especially in case of the risk of diabetes which is also the cause of many chronic diseases. So, the question how to implement changes arises. 

In the doctor’s surgery, you usually do not receive an answer, and you only get recommendations to visit a dietitian or gym. Both of these solutions will not necessarily bring the expected results. Not every dietitian will have knowledge and skills to guide the change of lifestyle beyond the principles of nutrition. Gym and fitness clubs are for people who take particular care of their body and, therefore, are not entirely good for a people who mainly want to change their lifestyle. It often turns out that you have nowhere to go and do nothing to improve your health.

Our Academy (FWHA) has developed an action program aiming conducting courses and training, which trains wellness health personal trainers and coaches. They are wellness health doctors who will be able to create clinics of healthy lifestyle also called wellness health counseling clinics.

For this reason, you need a program to create a network of places – healthy lifestyle counseling clinics for treating healthy people ( people who already have significant health problems, but doctors do not yet diagnose them as sick)

Healing without drugs, but with the help of lifestyle changes – according to the slogan: 

A healthy lifestyle is the best medicine to heal and prevent chronic diseases and addictions.

At the heart of the concept of many health-related programs lies a definition contained in the Constitution of the World Health Organization which defines health as :

“a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being (wellness) and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. 

So, when we talk about health, we have to see its two levels:

1. Minimal level – no disease or disability
2. Optimal level – the state of well-being – wellness, also called wellness health.

The science and art of achieving this higher, optimal health level is called health treatment and a person who helps us in this is called a wellness health doctor.
