The medical model is really a ‘symptom driven’ model; it’s reactive. Imagine going to your medical doctor and saying, ‘You know what, Doc, I feel absolutely fantastic. I’ve got boundless energy, feel totally motivated, don’t feel the slightest bit of stress. I’m the fittest I’ve ever been, tummy works great, I have a really healthy diet, my relationship is 100% and financially I’m totally sorted.
