The Simple Medic – a healthy, happy experience
What if doctors were taught as much about creating health as they are about treating disease?
This question has followed me throughout my medical education; the education I was receiving was just that – medical. A huge focus on pharmaceuticals and therapeutic treatments. These have their undeniable place but what I want to learn is how to cultivate and promote optimal health, to enable empowerment and real, lasting changes. To stop the need for these interventions in the first place.
This page is here as I explore how to make health ‘simple’ again.
The simple things are often the best
In my own journey I have tried many different health optimisation strategies but what has had the most significant impact has been the simple things. It doesn’t have to be hard, and often times it can be the opposite of what we might have been taught to believe is right. This is here, if nothing else, as a way for myself to cut out the noise and find what works, and why.
Health
After feeling disappointed by the medical education I was receiving I realised I had confused medicine with the health. I explore how reaching optimum health can look like.
Wholeness
Health is so multi-faceted – I explore some of them here. These are inspired by lessons in life, personal wonderings and things I have found useful. Varied reflections.
Playfulness
The art of joy, small creations and sometimes remembering the power of the ordinary to become extraordinary. A creative playground for myself.
