Carole Goodpastor A Healthier Lifestyle philosophy believes that the human body was designed to be healthy, and that LIFE LIVED IN PEACE AND HARMONY WITH NATURE GRANTS HEALTH AS OUR NATURAL STATE. We are provided with the gift of self-healing at birth.  It is not required that we fully understand this natural process in all its complexities, we just need to avoid getting in its way.

Many of the  roots of lifestyle diseases are embedded in our culture and are manifested in damaging personal attitudes, biases, and habits promoted by our culture.   Certain industries  become financially and politically invested in these damaging lifestyles and/or the consequences of these lifestyles.  (think tobacco and transfats).   It is an unfortunate fact that the culture reinforces damaging lifestyles as long as there are groups that financially profit from them. 

We must accept the responsibility to care for our own health and do what is necessary to maintain it.    We can become sufficiently enlightened and empowered to adopt lifestyles that enhance our health and wellness, and allow our bodies to function as  nature intended.
