Ep.1 - What is health? - An anthropological lens

One of the most useful frameworks I have found to view health is to see the human as an organism which is adapted to a particular environment.  Health could be seen as simply the degree to which a person is in alignment with their true nature.  If we have too much or too little of something, we get off balance, and eventually we get sick.  Health is just balance in accordance with what we are adapted to. Over thousands of years our environments and lifestyles have changed so much, but our 'apparatus' (the body) hasn't really changed. In order to be healthy today, we need to identify what our environment gives us too much or too little of, and engage in offset activities to bring us back to the middle-ground (homeostasis)
