**Paradigm of Medicine vs. Wellness**
Medicine	Wellness
The body is a machine	Address the whole patient
The body and mind are separate	The body and mind are interconnected
Emphasize the elimination of disease	Emphasize experiencing wellness
Treat symptoms	Treat the underlying causes
Specialize (with tunnel vision)	Take an Integrative approach
Use high technology & heroic measures	Focus on diet, lifestyle,and prevention measures
Focus on objective information	Focus on subjective information (patient’s feelings)
The physician should be emotionally detached	The physician is a partner in the health process
The physician is in control of the patient’s health	The patient is in charge of health care choices
