133 Key Concepts from Wellness Pioneer John W.
Travis, MD, MPH (Originator of Wellness Inventory)
14The Illness-Wellness Continuum
- Key Concept 1 Wellness is a process, never a
static state. - This model shows the relationship of the Wellness
and Treatment Paradigms. - Moving from the center to the left shows a
progressively worsening state of health. - Moving to the right of center indicates
increasing levels of health and well-being. - The Treatment Paradigm can only take you to the
neutral point, where the symptoms of disease - have been alleviated. The Wellness Paradigm,
utilized at any point on the continuum, moves - one towards ever higher levels of wellbeing.
15The Illness-Wellness Continuum
- Think of the continuum as a pathway. People can
be headed in either direction. - A person who is generally physically healthy, but
who is always worrying about - their health and complaining, may be to the right
of the neutral point, but may be - facing towards the left, in the direction of
premature death. - A person who is physically or mentally challenged
may have a positive outlook and - be cultivating love instead of fear, and
consequently may be facing to the right, in - the direction of high-level wellness.
16The Iceberg Model of Health
Key Concept 2 Illness and Health are only the
tip of an iceberg. To understand their causes
you must look below the surface.

19The Iceberg Model of Health
20The Wellness Energy System
- Key Concept 3 We are energy transformers. All
our life processes, including - health and illness depend on how we manage
energy. Putting together a - persons energy inputs and outputs we have the
complete wellness energy - system. These 12 life processes are the basis of
the Wellness Inventory.
21What is Wellness? John W. Travis, MD, MPH
- Wellness is a choice. a decision you make to
move toward optimal health. - Wellness is a way of life. a lifestyle you
design to achieve your highest - potential for well-being.
- Wellness is a process. a developing awareness
that there is no end point - but that health and happiness are possible in
each moment, here and now. - Wellness is the integration of the body, mind,
and spirit.the appreciation - that everything you do, and think, and feel, and
believe has an impact on your - state of health.
- Wellness is the loving acceptance of yourself.
