Dr Ron Ehrlich – The Mission Statement for Unstress Podcast 2023
Dr Ron Ehrlich: [00:00:02] Hello and welcome to Unstress Health. My name is Dr. Ron Ehrlich. Before you dive into the episodes, I wanted to share with you our Mission Statement. The Mission Statement is built on over 40 years of clinical experience and a model of health that I’ve used in practice, which sees our health as a balancing beam. On the one hand, to identify and minimise as many stressors as possible. And I define a stressor as anything that compromises your immune system and promotes chronic inflammation. And on the other hand, to build resilience by focusing on the Five Pillars of Health. [00:00:41][38.3]
Dr Ron Ehrlich: [00:00:41] Now, the Five Stressors we explore, broadly speaking, are emotional, environmental, postural, nutritional, dental or oral health stressors. And the Pillars of Health that we explore are sleep, breathe, nourish, move and think. Well, we go way beyond that. We explore the issues around public health. And if the pandemic has taught us anything, independent influence on public health and independent information of industry, particularly the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industry, is central to a public health message that puts public health at the centre of public health messages. That may sound counterintuitive to you, but unfortunately, while good health may make sense, it doesn’t make dollars. And the health industry has really become a chronic disease management system, which is a great economic model, just not a very good health model. [00:01:41][59.3]
Dr Ron Ehrlich: [00:01:42] So I tried to bring together topics a variety of topics from environmental issues, farming, soil, the quality of food, how it’s grown, the environmental impact with a broad statement which says, ‘What is good for the plants or animals that we consume is generally good for the planet.’ The two are inseparable and these are themes that we explore throughout. [00:02:10][28.1]
Dr Ron Ehrlich: [00:02:10] Look, I find the podcast an incredible experience personally. Every week, I get to ask experts that know so much more than I do about subjects ranging from women’s health, men’s health, children’s health, environmental health, circadian rhythms, sleep, breathe, nourish, move, you name it, all these different areas. And they answer those questions, and I learned a great deal, and I hope you will, too. I also would welcome your feedback, and I also would invite you to join our Unstress Health community. Look, if the last few years have taught us anything, the power of community is so important for a fulfilled life. And the Unstress Health community, I believe, is such a community. We have amazing resources. We have regular live Q and A’s. We have great courses and hopefully we will have some live events and workshops in the future. So dive in to the subject headings. They are self-explanatory. They are all from a very holistic point of view and I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I’ve enjoyed doing them. Until then, this is Dr. Ron Ehrlich. Be well.
