If you've got a medical condition, seek medical advice.

On the other hand, don't go to doctors for conditions that are not medically related and which doctors can't fix. Into this category you can put most of the metabolic, musculo-skeletal and psychological dysfunctions.

If you're experiencing the discomfort of some of the common body system dysfunctions that are not, as yet, life threatening medical conditions, then the lifestyle prescription is a good place to start.

The lifestyle prescription stands head and shoulders above all other prescriptions for keeping yourself fit and healthy.

As a rule there is a good chance a lifestyle prescription will dramatically improve the following conditions.

�    obesity

�    elevated blood pressure

�    moderately elevated blood glucose

�    musculo-skeletal dysfunction and lack of strength and flexibility

�    sadness, anxiety and depression,

�    poor sleep

�    tiredness

�    lack of aerobic fitness

There are a range of people you can go to for advice

�    fitness practitioners

�    naturopaths

�    life coaches

�    counsellors
