When you get sick or have a physical problem, do you head to the doctor? A medical doctor is typically a good first step when we’re faced with health related problems. But it’s all too easy to stop at that step.
Often, we view our mental health, physical health and lifestyle as existing on separate planes – and there’s good reason for that. How we care for our mental and physical health, and who we go to for help, differs. Lifestyle can often be an afterthought or seen as unrelated to our health in any substantial way.
But, when we take a closer look, our physical health is tied to all aspects of our life.
