Lifestylopathy as Personalized Medicine: A Holistic Approach to Health
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article looks at Lifestylopathy, a holistic approach to healthcare that combines traditional healing methods with personalized medicine and recognizes the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual dimensions of health. Unlike conventional medicine, which focuses primarily on symptom management, Lifestylopathy emphasizes identifying and addressing root causes of complex conditions by adapting interventions to individuals’ lifestyles, values, and specific health needs. The methods explored include balancing metabolic processes, such as anabolic and catabolic pathways, maintaining homeostasis, and optimizing the dynamic interplay between entropy and potential energy. The study also examines the role of neurotransmitter balance and lifestyle adjustments in enhancing mental health. By employing a synergistic approach that combines therapeutic interventions, placebo effects, and lifestyle alignment, Lifestylopathy offers a comprehensive framework for disease prevention, holistic recovery, and long-term wellness. This integrative methodology bridges modern and traditional practices, providing actionable insights into achieving sustained health and well-being.
