Many of us are so used to managing a disease and symptoms that we often forget to ask the most important question:
- Is it possible to reverse my chronic symptoms?
- Can I fully heal?
Over the last decades research in Lifestyle Medicine and Health Coaching has shown that the majority of chronic health issues can not only be stopped but reversed using comprehensive lifestyle modifications into our life. The science is sound. We know it works.
But the biggest challenge is knowing what to do. It can be really confusing especially considering the flood of information and online articles about diet, exercise and stress management.
