Whole Health Quiz: Discover your healthcare priorities

Posted on: January 5th, 2015 by Hannah Snider MD

Happy New Year and welcome to 2015!

This time of year inspires change and new beginnings. Especially when it comes to our health and happiness. We often find new motivation to live the lives we desire, and courage to make this happen.

Perhaps your health habits need a little tweaking here and there, or perhaps a complete overhaul. In either case, in addition to the more common diet and exercise factors, optimizing our health involves reducing modifiable stress factors, and increasing the number of healing relaxation responses. In fact, more than 70% of health conditions are estimated to be related to stress! Check out Harvard’s Centre for Mind-body Medicine and the extensive research here.

Though this is not a substitute for a physician consultation, if you’re interested in what might be underlying or contributing to your current health condition, or are just looking to optimize your health, go ahead and take this whole health quiz (based on Dr. Lissa Rankin’s Whole Health Cairn from her book Mind over Medicine).  By becoming aware of the areas in your life that elicit most of your stress, as well as the potential areas that could help increase your relaxation response, you have the opportunity to make your body ripe for health and healing.
