We at A Healthier Lifestyle believe that the human body was designed by God and nature 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.

We believe that, in the broadest sense, the roots of lifestyle diseases are embedded in our culture and are manifested in damaging personal attitudes, biases, and habits promoted by our culture, as well as in the industries that become financially and politically invested in these damaging lifestyles and/or the consequences of these lifestyles.   It is an unfortunate fact that the culture reinforces damaging lifestyles as long as there are groups that financially profit from them. 

But we cannot wait for the culture to change in order to alter our lifestyles. We must save ourselves! This is literally a matter of life or death... your personal life or death! So we must all accept the responsibility to care for our own health and do what is necessary to maintain it.  We must reject damaging cultural attitudes and behaviors.  We must become sufficiently enlightened and empowered to adopt lifestyles that enhance our health and wellness, and allow our bodies to function as God and nature intended.

So long as we practice damaging, self-defeating lifestyles we will suffer from chronic, recurrent health problems, along with frequent doctor's office visits, lifetime drug maintenance and occasional hospitalizations and surgeries.   

If you want to prevent or cure a health problem, it's up to you.  The World Health Organization has estimated that seventy percent of all disease is caused by inappropriate and unhealthy lifestyles. We suspect, based on our experience, that percentage is even higher. So since the cause of most disease is usually in your lifestyle, your health and wellness has to be up to you. 

But we can help you. We use knowledge from health research, physiology, biology, and anthropology to address the lifestyle causes of disease.  Our solutions are science-based, and easy to understand.  Our solutions are testable and provable to the only person who counts-YOU!
