There are three key aspects to health: nutritional, structural, and emotional. When these three factors are balanced and operating effectively, we feel healthy. We become unwell when one or more of these components is lacking. Intestinal distress, headaches, joint discomfort, anxiety and sleeplessness are all examples of dis-ease in the body. Conditions like these are signals that something is out of balance within us and needs our attention so we can feel our best!
