An Integrated Approach to Health and Well-being
A holistic, integrated approach to health recognises that issues such as anxiety,
depression and fatigue must be addressed at different levels of mind and body.
In other words, health depends on numerous needs being met.
At York Mind-Body Health a range of therapeutic tools combine effectively to
address needs at every level.

Therapies
|
Biochemistry
Is the body producing all the functional molecules necessary for life processes?
Examples are enzymes, hormones and neurotransmitters.
Do cells have enough energy? Are they able to effectively utilise energy?
Can the body effectively dispose of toxic waste?
|
|
Functional Physiology
Can the body's control systems effectively maintain physiological parameters
within healthy limits? Can they respond flexibly to challenges and stresses?
(The main control systems are the brain and nervous system, the endocrine
(hormone) system, and the immune system.)
|
|
Psychology
Has the person learned or developed all the skills and resources needed for
living life? Examples are social skills, emotional self-management and the
ability to focus and pay attention.

The choice of therapies depends in part on an assessment of the
nature of the presenting problems, and York Mind-Body Health employs a range of
tools to help.
One such is Electro-Interstitial Scanning (EIS) - powerful and
innovative technology based bio-impedance. The system is capable of rapidly and
non-invasively estimating physiological functioning in each of the body's main
organ systems.
Invented by french neurophysiologist Albert Maarek MD, EIS
has been over ten years in development, with trials carried out in hospitals and
clinics in France and Russia.
