Wellness Q & A
What is wellness care?
Wellness care focuses on your physical, mental, and emotional health — all the facets of your life that work hand-in-hand to give you optimal health and well-being. The choices you make and actions you take every day determine whether each facet stays healthy and contributes to a positive, fulfilling life.
Preventive health care serves as the medical foundation for wellness. Seeking preventive care means having regular checkups and getting lifestyle recommendations to stay healthy.
Following through on your preventive care plan is one of the key choices you make to maintain wellness.
How does wellness care prevent chronic diseases and cancer?
Preventing chronic disease is a top priority of wellness care. Dr. Hundert screens your risk, detects your health challenges, and implements medical care and lifestyle changes to prevent problems.
What puts you at risk for serious health conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease? Your lifestyle habits are the top culprits, especially:
- Following an unhealthy diet
- Not getting enough exercise
- Being overweight or obese
- Living with stress
- Smoking cigarettes
- Drinking too much alcohol
Changing your lifestyle has the power to prevent most chronic diseases, including many cancers.
What other wellness services support my health?
Dr. Hundert offers comprehensive wellness care, including assessing and changing four key areas that dramatically impact your health:
- Nutrition
- Exercise
- Sleep
- Stress
Nutrition, exercise, and getting restorative sleep every night are essential. Without all three, your body can’t fight disease, regenerate tissues and heal, produce energy, or strengthen your muscles and bones.
Stress is proven to cause serious health problems. Ongoing stress raises your blood pressure, leads to weight gain and type 2 diabetes, accelerates cardiovascular disease, affects concentration, and can make you anxious and depressed. Stress management provided by Dr. Hundert helps you regain a calm balance.
How does one-on-one coaching promote wellness?
Dr. Hundert offers one-on-one wellness coaching, creating a long-term and sustainable strategy for restoring and maintaining optimal wellness. He works with you to identify your goals, defines the steps to reach them, and provides ongoing support as you work toward positive change.
