The Self-Care Renaissance
Over three hundred years after the first medical renaissance, when science began to dominate superstition, two complementary yet often competing entities, healthcare and wellness, converge in a new renaissance bringing enlightenment. Healthcare and wellness look to learn from one another as wellness learns to lean into science, establish standards, and hold itself accountable and healthcare transforms into a more holistic, lifestyle-oriented, industry. Hospitals will take inspiration from resorts, yoga studios might measure improved telomere length, and prescriptions may be coupled with personalized guides to optimal health.
The future: healthcare and wellness converge, a yin yang approach where two seemingly opposing forces finally discover that they can, and must, work together. As Dr. Kenneth R. Pelletier puts it, “Medicine is realizing that its roots have come from wellness traditions, and the wellness community is recognizing that not all doctors are evil.”
“Karisma Hotels & Resorts has created the Simply Wellness program. Constructed within the pillars of wellbeing are healthy and fun options that form part of the guests’ activities during their stay. As a result they can adopt them into their daily life.”
