This is your first step into Pathways to Health: An Integral Guidebook. Where will it lead you?
Move forward on your journey to better health. Dr. Victor Acquista M.D., Primary Care Internist for over twenty-five years, is your personal guide. Beyond conventional medicine, beyond alternative, complementary and integrative, he leads you to a new place: integral medicine. You will see your health in an expanded way–a truly holistic combination of mind, body, and spirit in dynamic equilibrium with the world around you. Explore the complex interplay of your body, your psyche, and your spirit, and begin to understand why you feel the way you do and what you need to do to start feeling better.
With humor and insight Dr Acquista helps you to explore areas such as relationships, forgiveness, addictions, and stress management. He explains some of the shortcomings in current approaches to medical care, and why the presence or absence of disease represents an inadequate measure of health. Blending research in neuroscience with psychology, social sciences, and spirituality, he builds on American philosopher Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory and leads you to a radically different understanding and appreciation of your health.
Easy-to-follow guided exercises take you on an inner journey of self-exploration. Empowered by your new insights, you will develop your own map and directions to improve your health.
Get going! Start your journey of self-help, personal growth, and transformation. This guidebook will change your understanding of health and disease, illness and wellness. Choose your Pathway to Health.
