There are 5 elements hidden in the shadows of every healthcare encounter that directly, and significantly, influence your well-being:
Those who have studied the properties of Passion Flower say it supports peace and calm. Notice 5 star points of the stamen.
The depth and expanse of your self awareness and self understanding
Your worldview of the nature of medicine - what constitutes “medicine” to you - and your belief in healing potentiality
The relationship as a partnership between yourself and your medical practitioners (in any field of care and healing)
The worldview and toolkit of your practitioners of choice (what “medicine” do the believe in and use / prescribe)
Your actions or in-actions…. sometimes not acting is potent medicine
Reflect on that list. You have control - agency - over every element! You have power. You may just need a road map to navigate your choices and actions.
That’s where Well-being Stewardship comes in.
Well-being Stewardship exists to equip you with pathways - road maps - to bring these shadow influences into the light, so you have agency to maximize your inherent well-being by aligning your worldview and decisions in ways that cultivate healing and well-being.
Butterflies are a universal symbol of transformation. Are you becoming a butterfly?
Empowered with fresh pathways, you have agency to make two shifts:
1.You shift from being in the passive “patient” to being the alchemist of your life!
2. You shift from being attached to the dominant paradigm of pathogenesis (western medicine controlling and attacking symptoms of disease) to salutogenesis - creating health - by proactively minimizing and preventing root causes of what inhibits well-being and strengthening the foundations for resilience).
Warning: this is a practice. Not a one time action.
“To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
― R. Buckminster Fuller
Psst….What the medical system doesn't want you to know:
A disease-based system does not empower you to cultivate well-being and heal.
Just as being against war does not create peace, disease avoidance - or symptom maintenance - does not create resilience and well-being.
Only two things are needed to cultivate well-being
Change the role
Stop being a patient, and bring out your inner Alchemist instead. Alchemy is the science and art of combining different elements to create something precious. What is more precious than your experience of wholeness, healing, harmony, vitality and resilience?
Transform the goal
Make well-being, resilience and vibrant living your goal. Ditch focusing on symptom suppression or disease management. Embark on a different path for choice - choosing life affirming medical sciences and a new range of time tested medicinary tools outside of chemical pharmaceuticals.

Well-being Stewardship is not . .
A list of “do this, don’t do this” lifestyle recommendations.
A program or a plan.
A one-size fits most formula, with recommendations that everyone can or “should” follow.
A “how to avoid some disease” discussion or worldview.
