American medicine is funded by a fee-for-service model that rewards hospitals only when patients are sick, or when unnecessary care is delivered. These perverse incentives mean that wellness and prevention are ignored.
The Quality of Life Clinic is not affiliated with these fee-for-service models. For a flat fee, we keep healthy people healthy and fight Father Time.
American medicine is also hindered by the specialist paradigm. The human body is not a series of independent organ systems. It must be treated holistically.
All of the factors needed for good health are interrelated. The mental status of a person determines stress levels. Hormones triggered by stress are extremely toxic. Most cases of obesity, sleep disturbances, and addiction to caffeine or alcohol are caused by problems of the mental state. Likewise, a sub-optimal mental status is often caused by bad diet and/or lack of exercise.
That is why I named it The Quality of Life Clinic. Good health starts with happiness and quality of life.
