Pattern of Health

And the worst part: you probably think it’s your fault, or that your loved one just doesn’t care enough. The truth is, there’s a powerful force that puts us on a PATH that we simply can’t break away from unless we understand what’s at work.
I’m like you. I think about my health. Am I too fat? Is my cholesterol too high? As I age, will I suffer from dementia or Alzheimer’s? And when something feel’s wrong, should I go see the doctor and even if I do, will I trust his or her judgment?
The way I answer these questions is influenced in a way I didn’t expect when I started my research 30 years ago. Not too long into my work, I had just had my third daughter and as I watched all three grow, I could see how each one developed a different attitude about their health. One cared only when she become noticeably ill and never took an interest in exercise. My second daughter couldn’t sit still, took up running, gymnastics, resistance training and paid attention to her diet. And my oldest daughter just didn’t seem to think about it all.
And now with my family, even my 80 year old mother, I can help them to shape their path to lifelong health and wellness. The problem we’re facing today is that.
Pattern of Health is a groundbreaking look at these forces and reveals how health related behaviors are linked. Pattern of Health demonstrates that when it comes to exercise, diet, medical care, and overall health outcomes, we may not be as uniquely individual as we thought all along.
Why does one individual avoid planning about health issues while another is almost obsessive about researching health?
Are our innate health-related behaviors set in stone, or do they adapt as age and circumstances change?
I studied the answers to these questions for most of my adult life and discovered something suprising.
Most people fall into one of nine patterns that pre-determines how they’ll feel about vigorous exercise, diet, medical help and other health-related behaviors.
And when it comes to health outcomes, these patterns show us the answer to some of the most important questions facing our world today:
PATH gives you everything you need to assess yourself and find your innate patterns. You’ll also learn how your pattern can change as you age. And you’ll find out how you can alter your PATH, to adjust your behavior toward a PATH with better heath outcomes.
In many ways, PATH works like any other map. Simply put, you can’t devise a plan for reaching a destination without knowing your starting point. The PATH book gives you everything you need to determine your health pattern so you know your starting point. Chances are, you’ll recognize yourself in one of the nine PATHs before even completing the questionnaire. And once you know which PATH is yours, you’ll find it far easier to see your strengths and weaknesses to change health behaviors for the better. PATH gives you the self-awareness you need to disrupt negative behaviors and reinforce those that are positive.
Don’t miss this chance to learn the drivers behind your health behaviors and of those around you. PATH is indispensible information for individuals, healthcare professionals'”anyone concerned with health and healthcare outcomes.
I have been studying this factor for the majority of my adult life. After sharing this research with many national health plans and hospitals since 1995, and spending years testing and validating the health impacts of this hidden factor and witnessing their power, it is now time for everyone to learn about this powerful factor shaping their health and the health of those they love.
I can say with certainty that if you have trouble starting or maintaining exercise, you need to read this book.
If you suffer from a variety of illnesses requiring an above average number of visits to the doctor, you need to read this book.
If you are always looking for health information to learn about new health treatments you need to read this book.
The secret factor is the effects of patterns, patterns we follow without being aware we do. Right now, you are a slave to one or more of these patterns. I wrote this book to begin the process of freeing you from their effects.
Dr. Frederick Navarro is a professional health researcher with over 20 years of experience in national and international health research, a PhD in health psychology, and an MA in psychological research. After an early career in healthcare marketing research as a manager and director, Dr. Navarro, in partnership with national health plans and hospitals, spent the next decade studying and researching health-related behavior relationships to health, physical activity, health literacy, and conditions such as high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and affective disorders. The crowning achievement of Dr. Navarro’s research was the development and discovery of the Patterns of Adapting to Health (PATH). Validated by over a quarter-million adult interviews from throughout the U.S., the PATH represent different patterns or trajectories of adaptive health behavior adults unconsciously adopt early in adult life, and which subsequently shape their health, health risks, and demand for health care services through all life stages.
When it comes to overall healthcare, patient compliance is one of the most important drivers of outcome. For example, it is commonly known among providers that a majority of patients rarely take… Read more…
