The Essence of Health:
The Seven Pillars of Wellbeing
by Dr Craig Hassed
Although modern medical science has made a great contribution to the fight against a number of illnesses, the greater contribution to wellbeing rests on what we can do for ourselves. The main elements of the wellness approach are encompassed by the Essence acronym, which stands for Education, Stress management, Spirituality, Exercise, Nutrition, Connectedness and Environment.
This presentation looked at these individual elements and then applied them to the prevention and treatment of important conditions like heart disease, cancer, poor immunity and mental illness. It was an opportunity to hear one of Australia's most in-demand speakers in the health field.
There was also an opportunity to ask questions.
To accommodate the high demand for this presentation, Craig's Lecture was presented twice on the day, at 2.00 and 5.00 pm.
