An Emerging Paradigm Shift: From Sick Care to Health Care

As I pursue my Doctorate/PhD in Natural Medicine, I’ve became even more aware of gaping flaws in the United States healthcare system. Physicians and pharmaceutical companies often focus on symptoms rather than underlying causes of illness. This tendency is akin to noticing the oil light in your car signaling a problem, but instead of resolving the issue, you simply cut the wire to the light. While the light may be off, your car’s inner problems eventually lead to a breakdown! Sound familiar? That’s pretty much how our healthcare system works.

For decades, we’ve been indoctrinated to accept a reactive, disease-focused model of care, where the spotlight shines on managing (and suppressing) symptoms rather than preventing illness altogether. The result for patients is a downward cycle of side effects, deteriorating conditions and potentially ending in premature death.

Fortunately, new innovative approaches of Integrative, Natural, and Functional medicine are influencing major changes to a proactive, health-centered system. This is an enormous paradigm shift and transforms our mindset in reestablishing health in a completely unique way. We are now seeing the prioritization of bringing the body back into competence, integrated balance, prevention in the first place, and the optimization of overall health and vitality.

Increasingly Board-Certified Health Coaches like me are entering the system to offer guidance and more supportive solutions for individuals. Increased attention is placed on identifying the root cause of illness and reversing or preventing signs of decline with more integrated methods.

A foundational quantum approach involves a more expansive understanding of “healing” and wellness by recognizing deeper, subtler layers of vital energies that contribute to our human manifestation.  Complementing traditional medicine, this dynamic evaluation relies on a comprehensive assessment of multiple parameters including genetics, lifestyle, environment, and social determinants. Dr. Paul Drouin, founder of Quantum University, refers to a person’s “health potentiality” which is accessed by addressing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—and by consciously acknowledging the interconnectedness of a variety of factors including physical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects.

Traditional allopathic medical approaches are not eliminated but instead are combined with complementary and alternative therapies which have been shown to improve outcomes such as Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, mind-body medicine and spiritual healing.

This multi-level quantum alternative accepts that each person is unique and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. We arrive at our “condition” in life through various channels of experiences, cultural influences, exposures, and choices. So, treatment plans are tailored to address specific needs and underlying concerns which may result from nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, gut dysbiosis, environmental toxins, or mental and spiritual elements.

Instead of mindlessly filling a prescription and popping pills, the “evolved” patient is empowered to take an active role in their health journey. They engage in education and understanding of factors contributing to their condition and they participate in the decision-making process and make better choices. In time they are armed with adequate information to become their own health advocates.

Recent studies reveal the healing path is often reliant on lifestyle modifications of diet, exercise, sleep, stress management and environmental exposures. Through lifestyle interventions such as nutrition counseling, stress management techniques, plus modalities including acupuncture, mindfulness, meditation, massage or even yoga, individuals are empowered to support their well-being and reduce their risk of chronic disease. Ultimately, the body’s innate ability for self-healing, resilience and restoration is actuated.

Professionally, I’m dedicated to helping clients change how they age through a variety of methods that recognize the body’s natural inborn potential to heal. In fact, I’ve been working with an international technology company for the last few years that has developed an effective, non-invasive approach to activating one’s own stem cells. As we age, stem cells decline in activity and are less able to repair what the body needs to function properly. With this affordable, clinically trialed method of upregulating these cells, I’ve witnessed clients avoid surgeries, eliminate pain, develop better sleep, more energy, improved mental focus, and so much more. So, I can already recognize that the future of healthcare and self-empowerment has arrived!

By reframing healthcare as a proactive pursuit of quantum wellness rather than a reactive response to illness, Integrative, Natural, and Functional Medicine are transforming the healthcare system as we know it by reducing the burden of chronic disease (both personally and economically), improving outcomes, and creating a healthier society. As we continue to explore new frontiers in healthcare, innovative whole-body approaches and breakthrough technologies stand at the forefront, offering a vision of a future where health is not merely the absence of disease but the full expression of vitality and longevity.
