"Our healthcare system is amazingly good at dealing with acute injuries. It has a long way to go in treating the global, systemic and complex problems that are currently the biggest health problems we face -- obesity, diabetes, chronic pain, etc.
We can understand the essence of these problems betters with the systems perspective, and hopefully this will allow us to see that these problems will not be solved by highly specific interventions like pills, gogi berries, or foam rollers. They will require blunt, nonspecific, but effective instruments for regulating systemic health -- diet, exercise, sleep, and stress regulation. These are the fundamentals that get ignored in favor of magic bullets and quick fixes."
