Any given health-promoting tool or strategy may work differently for each individual. We each have unique combinations of health conditions; social and physical environments; and ethnic, cultural and personal history.
As we look at health from a whole-person perspective, we also look at wellness from a whole-society perspective. It is important to address the health disparities that exist due to factors like racism, poverty, wealth distribution, food supply chains, access to healthcare and education, environmental risks, and so much more.
