In the heart of Travelers Rest, SC, where wellness meets community, lies a profound truth that demands attention: the mismanagement of chronic disease plaguing our nation. At Life in Balance Wellness, we confront this reality head-on, armed with knowledge, compassion, and a commitment to holistic healing. Join us as we delve into the alarming statistics, unravel the systemic issues, and pave the way toward a healthier future for all.
The Alarming Statistics
- 6 out of 10 American adults have some type of chronic disease
- 75% of Americans are overweight
- 50% of American adults are either diabetic or have pre-diabetes
- 30% of American children are prediabetic
- 20% of American children have a fatty liver (This was unheard of 50 years ago)
- 36% of American young adults have anxiety
- 29% of American young adults have depression
The Root of the Crisis
One simple answer is our government agencies that are supposed to protect its tax-paying citizens are captured by profit-driven corporations; like big pharma and the food industry. Look no further than Weight Watchers endorsing the controversial drug Ozempic or Statin drugs prescribed like candy with little concern about their potentially harmful side effects. Let’s not forget about the experimental COVID-19 jab that was forced upon the nation for a virus that had a 99.8% survival rate.
A Paradigm Shift in Healthcare
The prevailing medical paradigm for treating chronic disease is fundamentally flawed. Specialization has fragmented care, reducing patients to mere collections of symptoms rather than holistic beings. The result? A conveyor belt of appointments, prescriptions, and lifelong dependencies on medication. It’s time to acknowledge that true healing requires addressing the underlying imbalances—starting with diet and lifestyle choices.
The healthcare industry profits handsomely from treating chronic diseases. The Medical paradigm for treating chronic disease in my humble opinion is completely backward. There is a specialist for the heart, eyes, ears, gut, nervous system, endocrine system, etc. If you had type II diabetes, high blood pressure, and irritable bowel syndrome you would probably see 3 different specialists. Your office visit would consist of a 45-minute wait and a 10-minute appointment with the doctor. The treatment would most likely consist of a prescription that you will probably be on for the rest of your life unless you are willing to get at the root cause of your health challenge
