Let’s Begin a Flow Primer:

 

If you don’t want problems with your health, there is only one thing you can do.

Be healthy!

Because if you’re healthy, you can’t be sick!

 

You might call this the Forrest Gump approach to health care, where one day his mother might have told him, “Forrest, healthy is as healthy does.”

The problem today in much of the health care industry is that they don’t really seem to know what healthy is, nor what healthy does. People are getting sicker and sicker, at younger and younger ages, and the cost of not fixing anything is going higher and higher.

There are real solutions to this mess. However, with a government regulated, controlled, and monolithic monopolistic industry such as what our current health care system has become, those solutions won’t be adopted anytime soon.

But that does not mean we can’t, or you can’t, or together WE CAN, adopt, adapt, and change things, one person at a time. And in time, one becomes two, then four, then eight and sixteen and….

And so we do what we do. And with that we’ll start at the beginning.

INTRODUCTION

Homeostasis  This is the ability of cells and organisms to maintain balance by adjusting physiological processes.

Your body’s internal homeostatic controls are like teeter-totters that can move when needed between healthy physiological bounds – in Chinese medicine this is the yin and yang of healthy expression

When a core homeostatic control gets stuck or is allowed to move beyond its norms without a corresponding ability to return where it should,  adaptive capacity can be lost and health begins to fail.

Research in physiology tells us where balance points should be for different measures of health and those measures of health taken in the context of HOW to manage them is applied physiology.

When specific measurements show that homeostatic controls are moving away from balance, it is a sign that adaptive capacity for vibrant health is being affected. If affected enough along the right pathway, ALL manner of issues and even events classified as disease can set in.

There is no disease process that does not effect in some manner a change in homeostatic control.

Monitoring the body’s homeostatic controls and taking safe corrective action as naturally needed is the most effective way to maintain health – and to help regain health if it has been lost.

Proper measurement of physiology is key because,
you cannot manage what you do not measure.

The body is a unique electrical and biological “flow” system. From the blood, to the tissue, to the innards of every cell in the body, the flow of life is moving with the flow of electrons.

We are all made up of the dirt of the earth, lifted you might say from the periodic table of the elements

You are an electric wonder.

From the neurons in your brain to the twitch in your muscle to the pulse of an electrocardiogram, there is a lot going on, and what is going on can be observed, measured, and managed for your optimal wellness.

The measurement and auditing of this life flow is appropriately called Flow System Auditing.

Flow Auditing is not diagnostic in nature nor is it a laboratory process in any medical analytic sense, but it does take a good look at physiology through the body’s natural feedback mechanisms using some basic (and sometimes forgotten) tools of science

In the hands of a skilled practitioner, insights can be gained and shared so an individual can make more intelligent decisions about how they might gain more adaptive capacity and increase dynamic health in their life at all levels.
