The Results are in, your health success formula is…
Are you ready for a new way of thinking about health? The body is an ecosystem. Every cell has its own unique function and purpose. When one part of this system breaks down, it can affect every other part of the system. The key to optimal health is balance and harmony between all parts of your body’s ecosystem – from your gut to your immune system, from your brain to your heart.
The psychosocial core physiological process involves the narrow focus of human thoughts, emotions, moods as well a wider connection to others, self -efficacy and the meaning and purpose of an individual’s life.

Alterations in the psychosocial core process can be the result of chronic health conditions as well as contribute to them. It’s therefore important to nourish and fuel this process, deterring negative influences such as chronic stress.
