Synopsis
After 10 years of family practice, Seema Patel, MD was discouraged with the “fix it, when it’s broken” approach. Traditional medicine was reactive, waiting for a disease to develop and only then providing resources to help. Yet, true changes to health need to be pro-active and preventative. Dr. Patel, who now specializes in Age Management Medicine, introduces a new paradigm of health that is comprehensive, holistic, and proactive. She believes that Optimal Health, the state of peak performance mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually can prevent disease and slow down the aging process. Your Guide to Optimal Health provides step by step instructions and interactive exercises to assist readers to create a Personal Wellness Wheel ™. The wheel integrates both Eastern and Western philosophies and consists of eight complimentary elements of health that, when operate synergistically, lead to a better quality of life.
