Take control of your health with the help of this informative and practical guide to integrative, natural, and preventative approaches to health care. For years, we have been conditioned to accept the status quo of modern medicine. But what if the conventional approach to health care issues is wrong? Rooted in dependency and illness, our health care system marginalizes ancient wisdom and traditions while prioritizing profits. In Root Causes, Dr. Avery R. Champagne explores how the modern health care system focuses on symptom management rather than addressing the root causes of illness. Highlighting systemic failures, including over-reliance on pharmaceuticals, neglect of holistic care, and the industrialization of medicine, Dr. Champagne calls for a return to integrative, natural, and preventative approaches to health care and empowers us to become our own best advocate. Drawing from traditional practices, naturopathy, and lessons from global "Blue Zones," he presents an informative and practical guide to better health and longevity. Offering hope to anyone who has been frustrated with the failures and challenges of the modern health care system and support to holistic healthcare providers who are looking to elevate the quality of patient care, this book presents a unique approach to living a healthier life.
