The Pyramid of Health is Dr. Proodian’s visual representation of functional medicine. This science-based approach to healthcare focuses on:
Most people focus on the end goal at the top of the Pyramid and the activities just below. In other words, they say they’re going to “eat right and exercise,” a generic phrase with no real meaning. They might explore stress reduction gimmicks. Society spends billions of dollars and countless hours on these daily activities.
The problem with this approach is that it ignores bio-individuality, which states that every individual has unique body chemistry and genetic structure. Decisions about how to exercise, what to eat, and how to temper stress should be based on information about the individual from the green and blue layers of the pyramid.
The key to achieving optimal health is to build a strong foundation of knowledge from the ground up. When you understand what affects your individual health and how your body functions, you can make informed decisions that move you closer to the ultimate goal at the top of the Pyramid.
These eight basic elements must be considered collectively to achieve optimal health. The traditional healthcare system typically treats them separately.
These four topics have the greatest impact on your health as an individual and public health across society.
We don’t expect you to know the Pyramid of Health like the back of your hand. However, the more you learn, and the more aligned your core values are with these principles, the more successful you’ll be on your way to the top of the Pyramid.
