This past week, we posted a question: "What is true health?" As we meet people out in the community, or even new patients I meet for a consultation, often times there is a general perception that if someone looks healthy and feels fine, then they must be healthy. Unfortunately this is not always true. A colleague of ours, Dr. Chris Zaino explains this best in that true health is 100% function. This means at 100% function, our body is readily able to handle any stress that it encounters, consistently maintaining homeostasis, high energy levels, and optimal organ function.

So what does this mean? It means that you can essentially look "healthy", and have no symptoms of being unhealthy, yet you are functioning at far less than 100%. If functioning at 60% was your normal, how would you know you were only at 60% function, as there would not be anything to compare it to?

All of our patients were quick to pick the answer to this question as 100% function, as they can attest to experiencing this truth.

If this is something that you'd like checked, call our office for a consultation.

Yours in Health,

Dr. Josh Young
