Wellness Medicine

At WellMedica Aesthetic & Anti-Aging Medicine in Reston, Virginia, wellness medicine is not only about one’s physical well-being but also one’s mental well-being. So we offer a couple of services to help our patients start helping them thrive and help focus on practicing healthy habits.

WHAT IS WELLNESS?

As we speak about Wellness medicine, we will talk about it in terms of wellness. Wellness has multifaceted dimensions surrounding physical, intellectual, environmental, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. It is an active process where the ultimate goal is towards a more positive lifestyle that helps attain better health.

HOW DOES HEALTH DIFFER FROM WELLNESS?

Now that we have talked about wellness let’s get a better idea of how health is different, as those two concepts are used interchangeably. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is defined as a “state of complete physical, mental, and social being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Health is a state of being, and many determinants affect social, economic, physical environments, and one’s characteristics and behaviors.
