A new way to understand what it means to be well.
01 The premise

What does it mean to be healthy?

Tracing the word “health” back to its Old English root, hælþ, or “wholeness,” Dr. Elizabeth Yurth and Ryan Van Bussum make the case that we've split the body into so many specialties that we can no longer see the whole person. Part memoir, part medical primer, Health as Wholeness offers a new philosophy to better understand and take charge of our health, from the cell through the body and to the purpose and connection necessary to our lives.

“There I sat with all the pieces laid out in front of me, and yet I could not see the whole.”

— Dr. Elizabeth Yurth, Health as Wholeness
