Three Key Concepts from Wellness Pioneer John W.
Travis, MD, MPH (Originator of Wellness Inventory)
9
The 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.

10
The 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.

11
The 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.

  our life processes, including

• system. These 12 life processes are the basis of
  the Wellness Inventory.

16
