Wellness is more than the simple absence of disease. As such, health can be envisioned as a journey to a state of optimal wellness and not a simple destination. To measure progress on such a journey, defining wellness by measures other than disease risk factors and biomarkers is necessary. Health can be defined by five areas of functionality: metabolic, physical, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral. Indeed, an individual's behaviors are the outward expression of an inward integration of the metabolic, physical, emotional, and cognitive functions in a fully actualized mind, body, and spirit. Personalized Lifestyle Medicine recognizes the importance of facilitating lasting behavioral change but facilitating this change may be difficult and may resist standard practice models. It is our proposal that a major obstacle on the journey to achieving full wellness is the brokenness of an individual's connections to self, to purpose, to community, and to the environment. Programs aimed both at defining an individual's authentic self and providing patient education using Functional Medicine's unique philosophy can facilitate a patient's creation of a lasting vision that is the work of successful behavioral change.
健康不仅仅是简单地没有疾病。因此，健康可以被视为一段通往最佳健康状态的旅程，而不是一个简单的终点。为了衡量在这样一段旅程中的进展，有必要通过疾病风险因素和生物标志物以外的指标来定义健康。健康可以通过五个功能领域来定义：代谢、身体、情感、认知和行为。事实上，一个人的行为是其在充分实现的心智、身体和精神中，代谢、身体、情感和认知功能内在整合的外在表现。个性化生活方式医学认识到促进持久行为改变的重要性，但促进这种改变可能很困难，并且可能与标准实践模式相悖。我们认为，在实现全面健康的旅程中，一个主要障碍是个人与自我、目标、社区和环境的联系的破裂。旨在定义个人真实自我并使用功能医学独特理念提供患者教育的项目，可以促进患者创造一个持久的愿景，这是成功行为改变的工作。
