𝘾𝙊𝙑𝙄𝘿-19 affects everyone in a different way. Part of it is because of the terrain or environment that a challenge is presented to your body. Read more in Dr. Peven's article, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘖𝘝𝘐𝘋: https://edu.wshcare.org/news/the-terrain-of-covid/⠀⠀

There is a void in the United States healthcare system. Patients sorely lack access to expert options for restoring their health when suffering from chronic disease, or optimizing their health when they are motivated to live a long, healthy life.⠀

Hypertension is a measurable sign of your terrain. That is, the conditions in which your body, cells, and connections develop disease or health.

Have ? Dr. Schuff can help get to the bottom of it. Book your appointment today! https://chicago.wshcare.org

90% of North Americans will get hypertension in their 𝙡̲𝙞̲𝙛̲𝙚̲𝙩̲𝙞̲𝙢̲𝙚̲.

Hypertension is elevated blood pressure, and is considered a modifiable risk factor for the development of heart disease. (Modifiable means you can change it!)

On World Hypertension Day, it's important to note that often hypertension is a 𝙨̲𝙮̲𝙢̲𝙥̲𝙩̲𝙤̲𝙢̲, not a cause. Lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity level, smoking, alcohol consumption, and stress highly influence the development of hypertension. Chronic diseases like diabetes, kidney disease, and heart disease often come with hypertension.

Hypertension is one among the constellation of signs that can come from a deeper cause. Whole Systems Healthcare doctors and clinicians are here to find and address that cause.

“The current pandemic will likely subside in time, but nature works in cycles, so it's definitely possible that this virus, COVID-19, or others like it, will be seasonal visitors to our population. Hopefully it will evolve in a way that it's less infectious and contagious, but novel viruses - new viruses we've never seen before are going to continue to present themselves to our modern world and there's 𝙣𝙤 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙚. ⠀
⠀
They're a part of nature. ⠀
⠀
And the only certainty that we can have right now is that we cannot control or predict exactly how the environment around us behaves.” - Dr. Ben Schuff, WSHC Chicago
⠀
What we can control is ourselves - mind, body, and spirit. ⠀

𝐖𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬. Why do we rely on external barriers to protect us from infection 🙅‍♀️ 🧤, but not bolster our own defenses from within 💪? Why do we choose to panic buy snacks and convenience foods 😱😨, but neglect the balance and nourishment our bodies need 🍎🧘‍♂️? ⠀
⠀
Our bodies are a HOST for the virus. The terrain, or environment, that we foster creates the difference between health and chronic or severe diseases.⠀
⠀
Check out our latest WSHC Education video where Dr. Ben Schuff discusses the Disconnect we're facing today and how we can come back into ourselves and our health. ⠀

Terra and our Terrain 🌎 Earth Day 2020⠀
⠀

As advocates of health, today we reflect on the connection we have to the earth and the meaning of stewardship for our environment. The human connection with their natural environment is undeniable. ⠀
⠀
The complex interactions of nature reflects the complex interactions of our systems - body, mind, and spirit. So much of modern medicine has been derived from the healing power of nature (vis medicatrix naturae). ⠀
⠀
Humanity truly is indebted to the abundance provided by our environments. Let's honor it together. 👨‍👨‍👦‍👦🤝🌍💚⠀
