Three Key Concepts fromWellness Pioneer

John W. Travis, MD, MPH(Originator of Wellness Inventory)

The Illness-Wellness Continuum

Key Concept #1: Wellness is a process, never a static state.

This model shows the relationship of the Wellness and Treatment Paradigms. Moving from the center to the left shows a progressively worsening state of health. Moving to the right of center indicates increasing levels of health and well-being.

The Treatment Paradigm can only take you to the neutral point, where the symptoms of disease

have been alleviated. The Wellness Paradigm, utilized at any point on the continuum, moves one towards ever higher levels of wellbeing.

The Illness-Wellness ContinuumThink of the continuum as a pathway. People can be headed in either direction.

A person who is generally physically healthy, but who is always worrying about their health and complaining, may be to the right of the neutral point, but may be facing towards the left, in the direction of premature death.

A person who is physically or mentally challenged may have a positive outlook and be cultivating love instead of fear, and consequently may be facing to the right, in the direction of high-level wellness.

The Iceberg Model of Health

Key Concept #2: Illness and Health are only the tip of an iceberg. To understand their causes you must look below the surface.

The Wellness Energy System

Key Concept #3: We are energy transformers. All our life processes, including health and illness depend on how we manage energy. Putting together a person’s energy inputs and outputs we have the complete wellness energy system. These 12 life processes are the basis of the Wellness Inventory.

Wellness is a choice….a decision you make to move toward optimal health.

Wellness is a way of life…. a lifestyle you design to achieve your highestpotential for well-being.

Wellness is a process…. a developing awareness that there is no end point but that health and happiness are possible in each moment, here and now.

Wellness is the integration of the body, mind, and spirit….the appreciation that everything you do, and think, and feel, and believe has an impact on your state of health.

Wellness is the loving acceptance of yourself.

Endorsements for the Program

"While most wellness assessments tell you that you're too fat, you should quit smoking and get some exercise, Dr. Travis recognized from the beginning that wellness is more than losing weight. One of the original wellness pioneers, he understood over 35 years ago that the heart of wellness involves looking at self-limiting behaviors in the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual areas that underlie our lifestyle."
