What is Wellness?

An Exploration

It is more important to know what sort of person has a

disease, than to know what sort of disease a person has.

16/110

3 Key Wellness ConceptsJohn W. Travis, MD, MPH


17/110

The Illness-Wellness Continuum

Key Concept #1:Wellness is a process, never a static state.

This model shows the relationship of the Wellness and Treatment Paradigms.Moving from the center to the left shows a progressively worsening state of health.Moving to the right of center indicates increasing levels of health and well-being.

The Treatment Paradigm can only take you to the neutral point, where the symptoms of diseasehave been alleviated. The Wellness Paradigm, utilized at any point on the continuum, moves

one towards ever higher levels of wellbeing.


18/110

The Illness-Wellness Continuum

Think of the continuum as a pathway. People can be headed in either direction.

A person who is generally physically healthy, but who is always worrying about

their health and complaining, may be to the right of the neutral point, but may be

facing towards the left, in the direction of premature death.

A person who is physically or mentally challenged may have a positive outlook and

be cultivating love instead of fear, and consequently may be facing to the right, in

the direction of high-level wellness.


19/110

The Iceberg Model of Health

Key Concept #2:Illness and Health are only the tip of an iceberg.To understand their causes you must look below the surface.


20/110



21/110



22/110



23/110

The Wellness Energy System

Key Concept #3:We are energy transformers. All our life processes, including

health and illness depend on how we manage energy. Putting together apersons energy inputs and outputs we have the complete wellness energy

system. These 12 life processes are the basis of the Wellness Inventory.


24/110

Wellness Energy System - Inputs
