what is health and how do you get more of it why do we have a health care
system that spends more money than any other place on the planet and we have
more sick people than ever before stay tuned and I'll explain hey I'm Dr. Sten
Ekberg with wellness for life and by subscribing to our channel you will
learn everything that you need to know to master true health what is health is
it just when you have an absence of symptoms or is there more to it well the
World Health Organization says that health is a state of optimal well-being
it's where everything in your body is working the best it can where every
system is working optimally that's the kind of health that we're talking about
that I'm talking about and that's where you have quality of life not just for
the moment but for a long long time to come in our healthcare system however we
talk about health as the absence of symptoms and think about that for a
while because everyone knows that it takes 20-30 years probably to develop
heart disease to where you have a heart attack so the heart attack is the first
symptom but it took 20-30 years to get there so when did you start losing
health was at the moment that you got the heart attack no obviously it was the
moment that you started that slip-and-slide and that's how we want to
start thinking about health and we have a health care model that pays no
attention to that whatsoever the health care model or sick care model is all
about treating symptoms as a chiropractor we're not even allowed to
work on people unless we're treating a symptom that's how absurd that the whole
situation has gotten and so how do we want to think about it what is it that's
supposed to work what is this thing called life what is health how do they
relate well one of my favorite analogies that
we want to start thinking about is if you have a person who is standing up and
he's healthy and is doing well and then I know this is very hypothetical but
bear with me and then this person falls down and in
the first 10 seconds we managed to run all of the usual medical tests on him so
some things we can't run like blood pressure is not going to show up heart
beat is not going to show up but if we run blood work we check his hormone
levels we check blood sugar cholesterol levels we take an x-ray we run MRIs all
of those tests all those pictures whether it's of a body part or whether
it's of the blood they're going to show very very normal values so how can
someone have normal values on blood work and x-rays and MRIs and still be dead
right makes absolutely no sense because those tests that we run they're not
about health they're showing you a moment in time and it's the result of
all the processes that have led up to that point so this dead person lying
down that has normal values what's wrong with them the answer is there are no
signals life and health is signals it is how much signals you have how well those
signals are processed how well they are balanced that results in a state called
homeostasis a dead person has no signals you cannot adjust a dead person and have
any results because the adjustment is not about moving body parts it's about
creating better signals so in order to understand health we need to completely
change our point of view away from symptoms and what it looks like in this
moment to asking how are the processes working what does a body need what is
required for health what is being supplied and processed in
an organism that has health so the very first thing we want to change is we want
to think of the body as the human as an information processor first we are
information first and we are a physical body second sure we have a physical body
sure we have limbs and mechanics and joints and levers but those are
secondary information is first vibration information processing signals how well
is that stuff working because that is primary and the body is more like a
printout so if we compare the body with a computer a computer has hardware and
it has software the software is what runs the hardware we can put the best
hardware together but if we don't have a healthy operating system if we don't
have healthy programs if the software isn't processing the signals and the
information correctly the hardware is absolutely useless it is pointless in
diagnosing and taking pictures of the hardware if we don't know what the
software is doing that's how the body works as well so we'll talk a lot more
about this I just want to do a brief introduction on this topic to try to
help us change the way that we look at things so please don't hesitate to ask

sort of topics and you want to know more about how to get healthier and
understand the mechanics behind it thank you so much
